CCMC156 – Flower Fest Beach Bag

June 23, 2011 By Connie | 24 Comments

It's time for Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge! Today we have a FUN color challenge for you to try! Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week!

AND…I have a surprise for you! Yes, I made up another Beach Bag like the one I did for the June Tour de Freaks HERE…and I have a FREE TUTORIAL and TEMPLATE for you below! So many of you asked, so I'm happy to do it for you!

So, here is the new Beach Bag I made using the Color Challenge on Create with Connie and Mary! I think it turned out cute using Stampin' Up!'s Flower Fest stamp set!

I made the Beach Bag with Tangerine Tango cardstock, and then decorated the front with Whisper White and Old Olive Trim on the top and bottom. I randomly stamped the flowers and leaves from Stampin' Up!'s Flower Fest stamp set in Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive Classic Inks. I used the 1 1/4 Old Olive Striped Ribbon for the handles this time. I also used two Mini Brads at the bottom to hold the front panel on the front.

Here is the FREE TUTORIAL and TEMPLATE for you to try! I would love to see what you do with it! If you are inspired, please credit me as your source and link back to my blog for the Tutorial. Thanks!
