Holiday Handbag Gift Bag and Wallet

Happy New Year! December sure flew by quickly!! My husband and I were away for a week (we extended our stay in Florida for our niece’s wedding) and then had a houseful during the last two weeks of the year when our kids came home for Christmas. Fun times, but I’m just now getting back into my quiet routine!

I made several of these hand bags with wallets. I didn’t want to post them before I gifted them, and then time got away from me – lol!

This gift bag was made with my Silhouette and a file from the “Luxury Handbag SVG Kit” from SVGCuts. It’s a FREE kit and contains files to create 5 different hand bags and a card! (Mary is offering this file as part of her FREE lesson called “SVGCuts’ Cricut Design Space Guide” but could be used with any cutting machine.)

The 2-sided card stock I used is by American Crafts #368494 (no name given). Two brads were added to the handle.

I created a wallet for holding a monetary gift:

I used the “Money Wallet with Flap” file (#50423) by Jamie Lane Designs that I purchased from the Silhouette Store to create the wallet. The base was made with Core’dinations Chocolate Mousse card stock, and the decorative panels were made with “Christmas Swirls Red” (CB-003) by Reminisce. I added magnets to keep the wallet closed.

The wallet was placed inside the handbag along with other small purse-themed gifts (like a small hand mirror, tissue pack with zipper pouch, and a purse hook to name a few…)

Change up the paper, and this project works for any holiday or occasion!!

Thanks for checking out my post!
