My friend Sally asked me if I would make her a couple of gift wallets to put some money in for some relatives for Christmas so never one to dodge a challenge I set to with my ruler and made these two cash wallets. I cut the width of the card to about 6.5 inches, which is just slightly wider than a £20 note, allowing for some thin, red line tape down each edge and I cut the length to 10.5 inches. I scored down the 10.5 inch length at 3.5 inch and 7 inch so that I had two sections at 3.5 inch and one 3 1/4 inch section for the pocket and then I folded the two outer sections into the middle and ran my bone folder down the edges to make them crisp. On the 3 1/4 inch section I marked 1 inch up from the fold on the left hand edge and then put the piece into my guilloteen and cut from the 1 inch mark on the left to the top right corner so it cut the piece at an angle. I added the red line tape to both edges of this cut piece and stuck it down to make a pocket then set to decorating the front of the wallet and the front flap of the pocket section.
For the decoration I used some scraps of Christmas papers and odds of ribbon from my stash and I used two Lili of the Valley stamped images which I coloured with Pro-Markers. I added a greeting tag to the ribbon, the little tag stamp is also from Lili of the Valley and on the inside of each wallet I used another stamped image from one of the James the Bear stamps from Lili of the Valley, but I just used the sign, not the bear part. I added lots of glitter glue and some cash, for display purposes only. I really must remember to remove that before I hand them over. I used my WRMK Envelope Punch Board to make envelopes for the gift wallets and put some Lick N Stick on the open flaps of the envelopes to Sally can seal the envelopes if she wishes. Done, next challenge please!!!
