LET'S MAKE SOME VALENTINE'S DAY TREAT HOLDERS using the COUNTRY FLORAL LANE SUITE #4- Paper Clutch Purse

February starts tomorrow. That means it VALENTINE'S DAY MONTH and today is the last installment in my VALENTINE'S TREAT HOLDER SERIES.  As with all the other projects, I used the amazing COUNTRY FLORAL LANE SUITE.  It may look like a suite strictly for Valentine's Day but you can make cards and projects for any occasion.

For my treat holder, I added a RUSSELL STOVER MARSHMELLOW HEART but this paper clutch has lots of room and can hold lots and lots of sweets.

For the body of the clutch, I cut a piece of SWEET SORBET card stock 8-1/2in by 11in.  On the SHORT SIDE, score at 3/8in and 1-7/8in from both sides.  On the LONG SIDE, score at 1-3/4in, 2-1/2in, 5-1/4in, 6-3/4in, 9-1/2in and 10-1/4in.  Turn your card stock to the end with the wider panel and score again at 1-1/8in and 7-3/8in to the third score line. The template below shows how the treat holder looks after the score lines are folded and the excess card stock is cut away.

Cut three pieces of the designer series paper at 1-1/2in by 4-1/2in (1panel) and 2-1/2in by 4-1/2in (2 panels).  Round the corners on one side of the smaller panel.  Cut a piece of card stock at 3/4in by 6 and score at 1in from both ends for the handle.  

To close the clutch, I use craft magnets in the video, but you could use ribbon or Velcro dots as well. Check out the video tutorial below to see how the clutch comes together.
