My first Lyra Izzi bag

 Hello Ladies this is my first attempt at a Izzi bag.Yes it had to have a butterfly somewhere  lol,
I used teal foundation card for the base & foundation card in Duck egg blue for the Flap
cut the Lyra die on the Flap.Attached it to the body, i added the floral meadow striplet too the bottom
cut the handle from the duck egg card & out of the teal card cut the finishing touches the lattice strip
extending it a little. glued it onto the handle,& attached handle with large brad from my stash.
then cut the lattice strip in duck egg for sides & back. added two chipboard butterfly's too front & one on the back. Glued the Carina die under flap ( had a happy accident ).
well what do you think,i would love you to leave me a comment as i love reading them.

Hope you are all behaving in the cafe.I will pop over soon just got to sort the D/B's out hihi.
Thank you for stopping by Hug's Lynda xx

    1. Thank you so much Margaret for your lovely comment on my bag.
      We went to Darren's yesterday for dinner so i did have cuddles with Harry,he was a little bit grizzly as his teeth are starting to break through,but still got some lovely smiles too. I'm lucky as last Sunday we went to Lisa for dinner & Darren,Sam & Harry came too so two weeks of cuddles & to see Alfie for a little while & of course Joseph YAY.

  5. Well Lynda,
    This is lovely, and so elegantly finished off. Isn't it a shame that we cannot use them in real life, this one's a stunner.

    1. Hi Maria,thank you for your kind words on my Izzy bag ( or bobo Izzi ) hihi.
      I only used foundation card I forgot to cut the inside flat the cut it crooked so had a brainwave to put the carina die over the happy accident to save all the measuring exctra.
      & added the striplet too the bottom as looked a bit plain.
      I wasn't well yesterday with sickness bug stayed in bed all day,still not too good today:0((
      Hope your ok Maria Hug's Lynda xx

  8. Lynda it wasn't until I wrote you a reply on Sandras blog that I remember I had seen your beautiful bags, they are gorgeous I love, love them. I really enjoyed making them. I had looked on my phone on Monday but I can't leave a comment on my phone I have tried to sort it, must get daughter on to it. But of course in my mind I had left one, so sorry. Poor Harry he will be a bit uncomfortable with those teeth. Hazel x
