Money Holder Tutorial with 6x6 Papers

Hi friends!Today I've got a tutorial up on YouTube crafting an adorable, money/gift card holder featuring this month’s Paper Pad Club prints. If you love teal and lime green as much as I do, you're going to adore this color scheme! I'm also featuring some ridiculously cute turtle ephemera from the Sweet & Playful ephemera pack.

Grab some lightweight cardstock—I highly recommend 65-pound weight to minimize bulk, and so your score lines don’t crack—and let's dive right in! You can watch the process below on the blog or on my YouTube channel.

Measurements:

For the base: 7 3/8 x 6.75"
Score on the 6.75" side at 1.5" and 4.5"
Score on 7 3/8" side 0.5" from either end

Mitre (angle) cut the bottom portion where the 0.5" and 1.5" score lines intersect to form a tab.
Repeat on the other side
Remove the rest of the 0.5" flap on both sides, leaving just 1.5" tabs on either side

Inside Center Mat: 2.75" x 6"
Inside Right Mat (smallest section): 1.25" x 6"
Inside Left Mat: 2 x 6" white cardstock
Front Mat: 2 x 6"
Belly Band: 2 x 6", plus 1.25" square connector
Optional Back Mat: 2.75 x 6"

Sketchy Turtles

Hey friends! Today I'm sharing a little quartet of square cards. Jamie posted some card sketches in the Not 2 Shabby newsletter this month and they got my little fingers itching to create!

I shared these in my hop video this week. Jamie's has a special offer for orders through June 15, but you  have to watch one of the videos on the hop to find out how to qualify.  Here's the link to my video: https://youtu.be/clePWpvCNeA

For this grouping of cards, I splattered some villainous potion and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks onto white cardstock, cutting the panels down to 4" squares, which I matted with 4 1/8" squares of purple cardstock. 

The purple print and the mint green papers are from the Cute Sea Critters paper pad in the June Paper Pad Club. The darling turtle images are in the add-on Sweet and Playful Turtles ephemera, and I accented with a few sparkly enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulously creative day!
