Money Holder

Sorry I'm so late posting tonight. I wanted to finish this money holder and get it photographed. Actually, it isn't finished, but I'll address that in a moment.

I have used this template for my money holders for several years now. You can find it HERE . It's from Mirkwood Designs, and they have styles for both the old money (center oval) and new money (offset oval).


I printed the template from their website directly onto my cardstock, then cut just inside the dark lines, and folded on the scored lines. I cut out the oval using one of my oval Nestabilities.

The stamp set I used is an old favorite from Hero Arts. It's called Needles and Cones, and tends to be one of my "go to" sets this time of year. I randomly stamped the needles using StazOn Olive Green. The pine cones were stamped using VersaMagic Jumbo Java.

Since this is for a guy, I didn't want to use any ribbon, so I made a belly band to keep the holder closed. You could also use velcro or one of those cute little magnets. Because I'm making several of these for giving cash, I decided the belly band was more economical. I don't particularly like the way the velcro looks.

Oops...I just noticed that the belly band is upside down in the second photo. Oh well...I TOLD YOU I was in a hurry! LOL!

The unfinished part is that I'm going to stamp on the inside cover, but that certainly isn't necessary. I think it's all a matter of taste.

I know this was short and sweet, but if I left out anything pertinent, please don't hestiate to email me.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!
