365 Cards Score-It Week: Money Holder #2

Hey there. Yes, I realize this is the second money holder post, but you know there's been a lot of people needing money I guess and its always good to send it in a great holder! 

I had a friend turning 30 this last week. She is a huge Etsy fan and I didn't know A. what to get her or B. her fav. store so I decided to give her $ instead which means... money holder to the rescue. So here is my second Score-It Mini card for the day!

Since my friend lives in the big city, I deemed the Doodle Factory Urban set worthy to adorn her card. Here is my main man doin' a little tagging to let her know its her special day. I used markers to color my sentiment so I could get a "spray paint-y" sort of feel. And added some stickles to the spray plume.
Inside you can see its basically a tri-fold card but with the edges glued down. Its a really easey card to make and would also be suitable to hold a gift card.

I continued the colored idea with faux stitching on the sides and added a simple happy birthday. Those are actually little flowers to the side of the sentiment, but from here it looks like spray paint blotches... much more fitting! I cut that notch out by first drawing what I wanted it to look like and then slicing it with an exacto. And there is the dough just waiting to be spent, tucked in its pocket.

So thats it for today, I promise! Stop by 365 Cards to see what Gloria has cooked up for you and I hope you get a chance to make a money card holder and join in the fun at 365 Cards.You may even win your very own Score-It Mini! Now how's that for a nice hello!?! 

I hope to see you back here tomorrow for Take-Off Tuesday and maybe a little something extra. You never can tell what the day will bring. Love to you today!

365 Cards Score-It Challenge: Money Holder

Good Day to you! Today's challenge at 365 Cards is a money holder. Since I was in Easter mode this weekend, I decided to do money holder's for the kids for Easter. And honestly I'm not really into giving money to my kids, especially for a religious holiday, but I was putting together baskets and Ronin asked if he would get a basket AND a card, and I wanted to do the challenge so I just went with it.

Anyway, I was browsing around on-line and found this great money holder from Nicole's Blog for Papertrey Ink. She has a post on how to make this wonderful Bank Book and Box. You can view her template and tutorial  HERE. It was SO great because you just print the template out onto your cardstock, score, cut and design. 

Here is the first one I did. You tie the dollars into the book with some twine/floss. I only added a few since they are little and don't really need a lot (if any)! I decided to put the kids names on the outside of the boxes so they could identify them. I added the Easter sentiment to the actual bank book. I used a belly stamp from the Wise Old Owl Bellies set to make the background for R's book and the egg in his name.
Here is second one. I used the same bellies to make him three eggs for the front of his card. I added some stickles to his money holder and some stitching. The 'happy' is from the Birthday Basics Set and the 'Easter' is from the Lotus Midwest Modern Alphabet set by Amy Butler. 

Hope you are enjoying Score-It Week!!! I am having a lot of fun trying new card ideas and I hope you are too!

Thanks for stopping by.

365 Cards Score-It Challenge: Gift Card Holder

Hey all! Happy Easter Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the day. Today is the first challenge of our Score-It Week over at 365 Cards. Wahoo!! I hope you are as excited as we are to get started. Today Pam has kicked things off with the first challenge: a Gift Card Holder. Check out 365 Cards and her personal blog for a nice tutorial on her project. I decided I wanted to participate with each challenge this week so I made up my own Gift Card Holder:

You can see that its a pocket with an insert. (I used this tutorial HERE). It is such an easy way to make a fun card, and you will love making your own!
I decided I wanted to make my insert into a tag. I added the same scallop trim from the front flap, but only glued down the very bottoms of the scallops. This way the trim can hold in my gift card! And you know what is so funny, I found this GC in my purse (cause I knew I needed one for the photo) and this baby still has money on it!! Can you believe it? It is SO old, I need to get using it! Needless to say, I got very excited to go shopping!
I used DP from Sassafras Lass Hog Heaven line. That little 'for you' tag has some faux stitching on it from the Gel-A-Tins Sewing Kit stamps set, then I drew in little stitches on top of it.

Thats it for today! Hope you like the projects you see at 365 Cards. We have been working hard to create wonderful things for you to get inspired.  Be sure to create your own cards this week because every challenge you participate in gives you another chance at winning your own Score-It Mini!!  We will see you tomorrow with another challenge!

Adeu, my sweet friends.
