Granny's Got a Brand New Bag

So my grandma was telling me how she never has any cards around when she needs them and can't get to a store very often.  So I decided to make a bunch for her.  I started with a place to put them.  She loves red handbags and I found the cutest leather paper on sale so I made a purse card holder. 


I started with an oatmeal box and cut the bottom off, then covered outside and in with paper.  I had to use alot of brads to ensure everything stayed in place for a long time.  And for an extra little touch I used pop tops as buckles.  I made the little pocket with leftover paper, then faux stitched all the edges.  I think it really turned out nicely.  I'm even entering it for the Moxie Fab World- Tuesday Trigger
