Friday Blog Project - Daisy Bear Gift Wallet

Good morning everyone, it's Helen N here this week with our Friday blog project.  Today I'm sharing a variation of a project I designed for one of my recent Little Claire classes - it's a little gift wallet which could be used for money, gift tokens etc.

Here's what you need to make the project:

A4 Die Cut Sheet - Cute Animals

red card (you need one A4 sheet)

kraft paper

white dots on red paper

white Card Candi

red ribbon

red self adhesive gems

And here's what you need to do:

1. Cut down your sheet of A4 card so it measures 12cm by the length of the card.  Starting from the left hand side, score the card at 12cm, 13.5cm, 25.5cm and 26cm as shown in the photo below:

2. Cut two pieces of red card measuring 6cm by 12 cm and score this at 2cm and 4cm as shown in the photo below:

3. Push out one of the die cut squares from the sheet and trim it to measure 8cm square.  Mat this on to a piece of kraft paper measuring 8.5cm square as shown in the photo below:

4. Crease and fold the the larger piece of card into the wallet shape (don't stick it together at this stage).  On the front panel mat a piece of kraft paper measuring 11.5cm square and a piece of patterned paper measuring 11cm square as shown in the photo below:

5. On the 'flap' on the front of the wallet, mat a piece of kraft paper measuring 11.5cm by 3cm and a piece of patterned paper measuring 11cm by 2.5cm as shown in the photo below:

6. Attach the image panel on the front of the wallet, remembering to attach it so it can be seen once the 'flap' is closed on the top of the wallet:

7. Concertina fold the other two pieces of red card - these are going to form the sides of the wallet.  Using red liner tape attach one side of the folded side to the panel of the wallet directly under the flap as shown in the photo below:

8. Then apply tape to the other side and stick the two panels together leaving the straight piece at the bottom of the wallet as shown in the photo below:

9. This is how it looks from the top, looking in to the wallet:

10. To finish I added a white Card Candi to the flap, some red gems and tied it together with red ribbon:

This is the version I designed for my class using another of the die cut squares from the same sheet:

And here's another one using the 'Oh Man' stamp set and the male set of 'Rebecca's Really Useful Sentiments':

I hope you've enjoyed my little project - it's very easy to make and makes a nice way to give someone money or a gift token as a present.
