Cherish your Memories - Tote Card template - Summer Kit

6x6 Scrapbook Layout by Betsy

The Creative Architects were challenged to create a 6x6 Layout using the Scrapbook PhotoSlide sheet, a Tote Card holder using the ISC Summer Kit. All are simply unique and stunning! *WOW*

The Summer Kit is jam-packed with a lovely assortment of embellishments, cardstock, diecut envelopes by Debbie's Diecuts, stamp sheet & more, to purchase yours, click here

Now on to the Tote Card holder. Lately, there's been a very cool-stylish trend, where it's all about Stationary gifts and such! I decided to play around and designed a simple Tote template to carry cards and give as a gift.

Here are the steps, simple/easy!
