Triple Treat Wallet GC Holder HSSCC112

Pin It Now! My son asked me this morning if he could teach me how to make a wallet out of paper. I told him he was singing' my song! Turns out it's a super cute and easy little folded paper technique. I just love my crafty kid!


I have a niece's birthday to celebrate, so it was perfect to make a girly wallet to tuck a gift card into.





Look at that cute little flap inside, just like the real thing.  I was so impressed when CJ showed me.


The Triple Treat Flower with coordinating punch dressed up the outside.  I love the bright colors.  Don't think I've ever used Rich Razzleberry before, but I'm a believer now :)

Finished the flower by cutting and layering 2 stamped images, one with Versa Mark, and the other with Stampin' Write Markers in Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade.  Then an Early Espresso button and a little knot of Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon.


To make this  folded wallet, start with a piece of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.
Score lengthwise down center at 4-1/4".
Turn sideways and score at 2-3/4", 5-1/2", and 8-1/4". Then accordion-fold, up-down-up-down.
Stamp one end to decorate outside of wallet.
Punch a half circle on the other end for the inside flap of wallet.
Refold, then fold in half and decorate!

I used Hand Stamped Sentiments' Color Challenge #112 for this bright & happy combo. So glad they encouraged us to use Rich Razzleberry this week, as I've obviously had this irrational fear of it. Haha! 

You should give it a try, click here to visit them.





Here's my crafty buddy showing me how it's done!



He's always tinkering with paper, tape, clothespins, paper clips, and trying to make batteries out of vegetables.  Talk about thinking green!



His marvelous artwork.  He made a gamer's wallet out of his.  Empty too, like a dude who spends too much on his games. ;)

Thanks for visiting!  Have a wonderful Good Friday and Happy Easter!

HAND PENNED ONE SHEET WONDER

Pin It Now!
One Sheet Wonder...Using a single sheet of Spice Cake DSP.  Here's the bunch of them...

 I tried my hand for the first time with a one sheet wonder - a dozen cards made with only one sheet of patterned paper! 
Cherry Cobbler CS, Spice Cake button, medallion in Pear Pizzaz, trimmed in Galaxy Glitter, XL Scallop punch,
Felt from new 2011 Holiday Mini


Close up of the Spice Cake button made into a pumpkin.  The 1-1/4" circle punch works perfectly in there, sponged with a little Pumpkin Pie ink, added some Early Espresso to give the pumpkin some shape.  Took a scrap piece of the DSP, punched leaves with Bird Punch, another skinny scrap was wrapped around a paper clip to make the curly cue trim, and a little hand cut stem from Early Espresso. 


Happy Halloween: see above shot for detail on embellishment.

Thank you note made with Top Note Big Shot die.
"Thanks" sentiment hand colored with Stampin' Write Marker from Hand Penned Holidays.
Random stamped leaves from Gently Falling.
One strip of DSP was cut lengthwise, then each strip was scored at 1/2" and 1", then pleated.
Attached the separate pieces at opposite ends of card.
Adhere top note piece with sticky strip at top and bottom, but with 2 Stampin' Dimensionals in the center so the pleats keep their depth.

Give Thanks card, using Hand Penned Holidays and Gently Falling.
Antique Brad added to anchor folded corner.


Give Thanks

Trimmed with Victoria Crochet Trim, Scallop Ribbon punch, basic pearls.
I love the way this one looks!  Pretty for anniversary, wedding, your Valentine.

Merry Christmas
Trimmed in Quilted Ribbon, basic rhinestones, ticket corner punch.
Finally, here is the template I created to cut the DSP. 
It's rough, I know!  But all the pieces are labeled with the cards I made.  I hope you can make some, too!  Please let me know if you do!


Just think, you can do a whole workshop, or 144 cards with ONE pack of DSP.  It just requires a little creativity.  Get out your stash and see what you can create! 

Till then, have a Blessed and Creative Day!!!
