They're quick & easy to make & use just 1 sheet of Stampin' Up!'s
gorgeous double-sided Designer Series Paper. (Here I've used Petals & Paisleys) If you want to make one of these with matching Gift cards using Patterned Paper from the New Summer Mini Catalogue, email petronelah@optusnet.com.au me to reserve a seat for my December classes! I understand December can be a busy month for us all, so here is the step-by-step tutorial, I wouldn't want you to miss out!
Step 1. Score a piece of 12x12 Designer Series Paper at 1' & 11"

Step 5. With open ends on the sides, score at 5"(you may want to
apply a little more pressure or score on both sides as you are
scoring a few layers)

Step 6. Score at 4 1/2" & 5 3/4" (you will now have 3 scored lines side by side)

Step 8. Apply snail or double sided tape to join the two sides of the
tote together.

and tie ribbon for handles.
