12 Days Of Christmas: Day 4 - Money Holder/Card

On the 4th day of Christmas my SU Demo taught me

How to make a card that holds Money!

Giving Cash or a cheque to a loved one this year?  Well let me help you dress it up!

Supplies:

Scallop Square Punch
1 - piece of chocolate Chip cardstock cut to 1 3/4"x1 3/4"
1 - scrap piece of whisper white
1 - 6 3/4"x8 1/2" piece of Old Olive
1 - 6 3x4"x2" piece of DSP
1 - 6 3/4"x2 7/8" piece of DSP
Sticky Strip
Snail Adhesive
Dimensionals
13 1/2" of Ribbon (I used Chocolate Chip double stitched Grosgrain Ribbon)
Paper Trimmer with scoring blade or stylus tool
Punches Three Hostess Stamp Set
Chocolate Chip Classic Ink

1.  Scoring along the 8 1/2 edge, score at 3" and 6"

2.  in the smallest section of the cardstock, you will score a little mark about 1" from the 6" score mark, and then turn it around and score on the other edge about 1" from the edge, then using those little marks as your guide cut the piece at a diagonal. This will be folded up inside the card.

 

3.  Adhere the 6 3/4"x2" piece of DSP to the front 3x6 3/4" side of the card

4.  Decide where you will put your stamped image on the front of the card, this is where the ends of your ribbon will meet so that the join is hidden, suing snail adhesive run a strip from that point to the end of the card, place your ribbon on that adhesive to secure it to the card.

5.  Turn the card over and run a strip of adhesive along the back of the card where your ribbon will lay, and fold over the ribbon onto that strip.

6.  Turn the card over once more, adding adhesive where the remainder of the ribbon will lay and fold over the ribbon onto that strip of adhesive so that it meets up with the start of the ribbon.

  

7.  Using the scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp your image and punch it out using the square scallop punch

  

8.  Mount this image on the 1 3/4"x1 3/4" piece of chocolate chip cardstock

9.  Adhere 4 dimensionals onto the back of the stamped image pieces.

10.  A little tip to get the backing off of the dimensional simply press down on it with the end of your finger/fingernail and it will slightly lift and give you something to grab onto.

11.  Adhere the stamped image to the front of the card over top of where your ribbon joins.

12.  Adhere the 6 3/4"x2 7/8" piece of DSP to the inside back panel of the card.  I did this with Sticky strip instead of snail adhesive so that when the flap is adhered it is less likely to pull away from the card.

13.  Use sticky strip on both short ends of the flap to adhere it to the card, make sure to put it very close to the edge so that the money has some wiggle room.

   

14.  Take off the red strip to expose the adhesive and fold over onto the DSP portion of the card.

15.  Insert money, you can used the slanted strip of cardstock that is exposed to write something nice and use our Small Open Ended Envelopes to give it to someone special!
