Today is a simple card I made for our church's Pastor. We had a huge card the church presented him, but had some gifts for him that would not seem right in that ginormous card!! So I made a wallet card which seemed appropriate for the gifts! Super easy and fun!
I made one a LONG time ago and I couldn't find the video for the idea...well I FOUND it!! It is by Danie Graves (I LOVE her stuff) and here is where you can find her video Tutorial. I made a few size adjustments that I will note. NO CRICUT or gypsy!!! I know....SHOCKING!!
LOVE this "guy" gift
There was some cash, but I removed it for the picture.
"Back" view of the wallet
My Measurements:
Background with rounded corners: 9 x 4
Inside back piece: 8 1/2x 3 3/4
2 strips: 4 3/16 x 2 1/2
2 strips: 4 3/16 x 1 1/2
To make this I used:
Paper: DCWV Mariposa solids
Stamp: Sentiment pieced together from clear stamp set in my stash
Ink: SU chocolate chip (rubbed all over and heavy on the edges)
Tools: SU paper piercer; Tim Holtz distress hammer for worn look
Misc: black pen to connect the "holes" to give a faux stitch look
This was so fun.

Michelle, this is so cute. What a great idea to give to a teen-age boy who has just received their driver's permit or license. I think I may borrow your idea and make one for my son who just got his permit on Friday. Thanks for sharing!
