January 2006 ~ This project was originally created as a way to present school photos of the kids to Grandma for Mother's day. I have five children so I made six pockets and six tags.  The first pocket was for the greeting. There are many possibilities and variations.  One such variation can be seen in PaperWorks Magazine on news stands now! More examples are at the bottom of the next page and in my gallery.

Supplies: decorative paper 4 x 12 inches 6 coin envelopes* 6 tags 1 7/8 x 4 1/2 ( to fit your envelopes) strong double stick adhesive ( I use red liner tape) ribbon 12 inches 1/8 inch wide Six 6 inch strips wallet size photos 6-12 1 sheet coordinating patterned paper 2 coordinating buttons 3 pop-dots string or embroidery floss and 2-4 small beads to embellish closure

Tools: paper trimmer scoring attachment or bone folder ruler scissor pencil corner punch Double stick tape runner

Making the purse shaped paper wallet Outside Glue wrong sides of cardstock and printed paper together with a permanent double stick tape or spray adhesive.

Score  your 4 1/2 x 12 inch piece of cardstock so that you have two 4 ¾  inch sections and one 2 ½ inch section.  Make one more score 1/8 inch above the last line.   Fold  score lines.

Fold bottom  flap up and top flap down creating  a tri-fold.

Measure and mark ¾ of an inch from each side. Using 12 inch ruler, draw diagonal line from that mark to bottom fold on both sides. Cut along those lines using paper trimmer. Finish cutting thru layers with scissor. Round corners on top flap. (stamp now to decorate)

Cut a notch in the 1/8 inch section for handle.  Using 12 inches of 1/8 inch wide ribbon and double stick tape attach ribbon thru the notches and adhere inside.  Hide with a scrap of the cardstock.
