How To Money Wallets/Envelopes

So lately I have been busy making things for Christmas and I just wanted to share these money/gift card envelopes with you all, they are so easy and simple to make and such a great way to give your friends and family a gift and making it just that little bit more personal. 

To create the base you need two pieces of card one at 25 cm by 11 cm, score and fold this at 

14 cm

The second piece 9 cm by 11 cm, score an fold this piece at 8 cm

 use a rounded corner punch

on the 1 cm fold on the smaller piece use some double sided tape or a small amount of glue and stick the two pieces together

To decorate the front

you will need 

 card stock cut to 10.5 cm by 7.5 cm 

10.5 cm by 10.5 cm

2 cm by 8 cm

2 cm by 11 cm

 3 mm ribbon

i used a bauble x cut die

a snow flake cling stamp from hobby craft  

and some 2 mm gems

I first started by using the snowflake cling stamp and just stamping in a random pattern

 for the lilac card i used tsukineko versacolor in hyacinth and versamark ink pads for the green i used tsukineko versacolor green and versamark 

leaving those to dry i made up the 2 cm strips, spacing the ribbon and fixing the loose ends on the back with a little double sided tape

i then used my sizzix big shot to die cut the baubles and glued them to some cardstock the same colour as the base card

once the ink is dry double side tape the snowflake design you have made into place, then stick the ribbon strips you made about 5 cm from the top again with double sided tape and use some 3d foam on the bauble a stick it about halfway hanging over the edge on the shorter side. then i used a small amount of glossy accents i glued in some 2 mm gems but only to the snow flakes in hyacinth pigment ink

to create the pocket you will need the white backing this is just card stock cut to 10.5 by 13.5 cm 

and stick that into place

in the same colour as the base of the card, 5 cm by 14 cm score and fold 1 cm from the bottom, then again use the rounded corner punch, line up with the bottom and adhere into place, use a small amount of glue on both sides close to the edge and fold until it bonds

then to create the decorative strip with the snowflakes do the same as before in 13.5 cm by 3.5 cm white card stock and adhere with double sided tape into place.

And there you have it! a cute little money/gift card envelope

you could leave out the pocket completely and you have a just a cute Christmas card as well

I hope you enjoy this little tutorial

 and if you made these for anyone I would love to see what you have come up with
