Travel Themed Double Z Fold Card and Money Envelope

Good morning friends

It's Masculine Card Monday here on my blog, and while I made this card for a friend on her way to Italy it could easily be a masculine card too.

Below is the card closed up and ready to put in the envelope. I love how these cards fold completely flat for mailing.

The patterned paper was in a 'gift with purchase' pack and it was perfect to use for my friend!

The words were fussy cut from a different piece of paper in the package.

I included a money envelope, made using the Zig Zag Bag from the Stamps of Life. This was a 'Flash Sale' purchase earlier this Spring and I am getting lots of use out of it. I love that it can hold a Gift Card as well as a cheque or cash.

I added this folded strip of card stock, decorated with some fussy cut pieces, so when the top is pulled it lifts the gift card out of the envelope easily.

Supplies:

Patterned paper - Kaiser Craft

Stickers - stash

Wonky stitched rectangle die - MFT Stamps

Zig Zag Bag die - the Stamps of Life

Thanks die - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Bakers Twine

Holiday Money/Cheque Holders

Good morning friends

Today I am sharing some of the Christmas money holders I made. They stay closed with a belly band, decorated with embellies from my stash.

They were made before I moved my blog here, so the photos are watermarked with my old blog.

Birthday Money Holder (and a spare!)

Good morning friends

My brother has a December birthday, and this year he asked if we would mind giving him money for his birthday instead of a gift. He had something in mind that he was going to pool our gifts for so we were all on board.

Obviously, I had a hand made birthday card for him but I also wanted to give him a special money holder. This is what I came up with, and since I had all the supplies out I decided to make a spare one to keep on hand.

They stay closed with a little magnet. This is my first time using the magnets and I'm sold! Karen Burniston uses them on bulky cards and now that I know how well they work, I'll be using them more. However, next time I will adhere them between the card layers so they are hidden.

Not only was my brother happy with his gift, he was impressed with the magnetic closure. Ha!

Supplies:
Patterned paper - Jillibean Soup
Green, blue, black and white card stocks
Magnets - stash
Label die - Stampin' Up
Words - MFT? SSS? - I can't remember and there is no name on the plastic
Balloons and strings - Lawn Fawn
fun foam

size - 7 x 3-1/2"
