Card Storage Tote (Red, White & Blue).

Morning all,

Hope your week is going well and you haven't been hit by the winter viruses/bugs that's been going around at the moment.

Remember I showed you a sneak peek of the Card Storage Tote recently? Well, I finished making it for a lady that saw the one I gave as a raffle prize for the MacMillan Coffee morning back at the end of September. She loved the original one and asked if I could make one to match her kitchen but requested that it be big enough to fit both A5 and A6 cards inside so I had some tweaking to do!

Below is the finished project which I'm really pleased with. She requested that it be royal blue, red and white, so I used both current colours and the retired Brilliant Blue as it was a perfect colour to match her requirements to complete the Card Storage Tote below:

Here's another picture with an insert on show. These monthly card inserts are bigger than the original ones that I have templates for, so I made new matching monthly inserts for the recipient to add special dates for upcoming birthdays and anniversaries to go with the tabs in the same font. With the new Christmas Gift-Giving Bundle Promotion this month, I was fortunate enough to be able to use the new Mistletoe Original Ribbons which match perfectly with her colour scheme :)
