Money Envelopes

 So it's graduation time isn't it! We have a couple of grads at our church and have collected some cash to gift them. I thought I'd whip up a couple of cute envelopes to present the cash in.

 I used my cool envelope maker punch board, and some bright double sided card stock I had on hand.

 I chose the 3"X6 1/2" size envelope from the list on the punch. It's a little big but will have lots of room for cash! SO using paper cut to 7 7/8" square and punch and score and fold and ta-da! This size of envelope makes the flaps a little long so I just chop it off on my paper cutter.

 There, folded, glued and ready for a closure!

 I used the flip side of the paper to make bands to hold the envelopes closed. If I was mailing them I would just glue them closed but we might have some late additions on Sunday so this makes it easy to open and add more cash!

 Looks good! I just glued the band together and slipped it on. And I can slip it off to open the envelope. SO I guess it could even be re usable, well isn't that "green"! haha green like cash....I crack myself up.

Thanks Stampin' Up!

It came! Yes, after a time on backorder-I guess I'm not the only one who is excited for this tool-it arrived!

This is the new Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up! I ripped that puppy right open and proceeded to make some scrap paper into envelopes!

Look, I made this calendar page intoa n awesome envelope-AND it's the right size for the card I had to make because, well, who wants an empty envelope?

So here's the halloween card I made for my Secret pal over at Craft Sayings. 

I just wrote out the address and ran it through my xyron machine to make it a sticker and TA-DA it's in the mail in a nifty reused calendar page envelope. I gotta say, the envelope punch board is a pretty cool tool-if you follow the direction-you can make almost any size envelope for cards and stuff.
