Christmas Totes with Matching Gift Card Purses

I decided to get an early start on Christmas gifts this year. I am going to give my kids' teachers gift cards for Christmas. I wanted to present it in a way that made them say "wow". I found a tutorial on how to make this tote bag on Splitcoast Stampers. You have to be a Fan member to have access to it.

Here's a close-up of the "stitching" that I drew with my white gel pen.

I made a matching "purse" to hold the actual gift card.  It also holds the greeting card. I stamped a sentiment on it, but you can leave it blank and write your own note in it.

Here's another sample. I like how the black pops out at you.

Here's the matching purse.

Hope you enjoyed the samples.
