Faux Leather Wallet

Hi everyone,

I had to make a gift card for a very special lady. I came across Bev's and Whiff of Joy Challengeblog, saw a very inspiring photo of one made by Jane and finally found a tutorial at Splitcoasterstampers.

Here is my attempt on making one:

I used my Cuttlebugfolder: bubbles to create the outside (I used glimmer cardstock), the inside DP is by Eskimo kisses, the ribbon was bought at a marketplace, the buckles came from a lowbudgetstore in the Netherlands: Xenos.

For the first time, I sewed paper with my sewingmachine(amazing!) I set an eyelet and ran a piece of waxed cottonstring (Rayer) through. A brad is holding the string.

To complete the gift card I made a fitting card

with a sentiment by Marianne Design (in Dutch it says Congrats) and

a butterfly by Hobby & Caftingfun.

Thank you for stopping by and

don't forget to leave me a comment on this one!

Hugs,
