As promised here is the tutorial on the scrap wallet from the blog hop. I hope it makes sense!!
You will start with half a sheet of card stock. Cut it down to 5 1/2 x 6 3/4. You will measure 3 1/4 and score on both sides. That will leave 1/4 in the center between each of the score marks. I would at this point decorate the outside cover before you add all of the envelope pieces.
Next you will get 5 coin size envelopes, they measure 3 1/8 x 5 1/2. So if you envelopes are a different size just adjust the base card stock to match the width and length of your envelopes.
Seal each envelope. Take 4 of the envelopes and slice along on long edge close to the edge.
Take those envelopes and tape them together by stacking them on top of each other. Make sure you tape them so the open end is all on one side.
Then tape them onto the inside right wallet flap.
It'll look like this once you have it taped down.
Take the last envelope and cut almost in half. I cut it at 2 1/2 that way on was larger than the other.
Tape them together.
Then tape it to the inside left side of wallet flap.
From here I am going to show my original project to get the last few steps. I'll be using this wallet to create a special gift for someone who shall not be named at this time!!
For the ribbon I just cut a slit on both sides of the center then feed my ribbon through. So it lays loosely around the outside of the wallet.
To create the blank pages that go inside the envelopes on the right side I cut white card stock to 3 1/4 x 5 3/8. I then cut tabs using the curly label punch which I then cut in half and taped down the the edges of the white cardstock. Lastly I added a bit of cardstock that I used the scallop trim border on. Make four of them to slide into each envelope. Don't forget to add your pictures!!
To created the pages for the left side I cut white cardstock 2 1/2 x 5 and added a bit of color by adding cardstock that I used the scallop trim border on. Slide those in as well after you have added your pictures!! Just FYI I would decorate the inside of the wallet before adding the pages so that it is still mostly flat.
If you happen to use this tutorial I would love to see what you make so please come back and link your project!! Happy Stamping!!
Start with one full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. Start by creating a score 3 inches on both sides of the cardstock; this will be done along shorter ends. Then score along the longer side at 2 inches and again at 5 1/2 inches. Then trim off at 7 3/4 inches.
After you have created you score lines cut off the four corners. At this point I would decorate the outside and inside which I did by using one of our jumbo wheels.
You will need to create additional score lines at in order to create some depth to the pocket. I created an additional score 1/8 of an inch from the original lines on all four sides. Use some dimensionals or some foam tape to tape down one flap along the sides only. I used the bottom flap that measures 1 7/8 inches.
In this picture you can see the flap taped down. The two side flaps will fold in and the top flap will fold down. That's all you need to do to create the base of the tag holder the following steps are just additional information on how I decorated mine.
Then decorate as you would like. I did a lot of sponging along all the edges.
I tied the ribbon around just the top flap.
If you look you can also see that I used the old slit punch; that is what I used in order to keep the flap down. I cut a small slit along the back of the chocolate chip piece that you could slide the flap into. You could always use Velcro; which is what I was going to do but couldn't find where I hid it in my craft room. The chocolate chip piece is scored 1/4 inch from the bottom folded in and I just taped down that single flap so I could fold over that piece on top of the top flap.
If you have any questions I did not cover just let me know! As always if you use the tutorial please come back an leave a comment with a link to your post so I can see the wonderful projects you create!! Happy Stamping!!
