Money Card Holder and More!

September 17, 2009

Today I got busy making a Money Card Holder! My daughter was invited to a Birthday party today, and since we didn't have time to go to the city and pick something up, we though it was best just to give money, kids always like that, don't they? I had been wanted to use this Penny Black Image I got in one of our Splitcoaststamper Image swaps for a while, so I thought this was the perfect time to do so, due to the size and shape of the image, which is quite wide rather than square! I found instruction on how to make one of this, but had to change the size to fit Canadian bills, which seem to be wider than the American bills.

So mine measured 71/2" x 8". I placed my paper on my Scor-Pal at the 1" mark and then score at the first little inverted triangle (3.666" mark) and then at 6 1/2" mark and voila, perfect!

STAMPS: P.B. Labor of Love, SU Teeny Tiny Wishes

OTHER: SU Mat Pack, Piercing Tool, SU Small Oval and SU Scallop Oval, Dew Drops and SU Crystal Effects, Basic Grey Magnetic Snaps

For the second card, and I am telling you, I can't believe I actually manged to make 3 cards this week! I wanted a Birthday card for a Young lady in our congregation who loves horses! I wanted something settle but at the same time girl like, so I made sure to add ribon and tiny little pearls and some flourishes as well. I think it turned out pretty good, hopefully she will like it! ;)

My last card was also a birthday card. I received my beautiful Verve stamps last week, and was dying to ink them up, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do that! Such an inspirational stamps, I LOVE THEM!

Lately I can't seem to get enough of the beautiful SU in colour, Soft Suede and the DP paper Througly Modern, love it! So that's what I used for this card. Also used my new Scor-Pal, which makes making this type of card (Gate Fold Card) a breeze!
