Let's Get Started!
Take your piece of cardstock and orient it in the landscape position on the trimmer. Cut a 1” strip for the belly band. Now cut a 3 ½” strip for the card holder. Score that piece at 2”, turn and score the other end at 2 ½”.
Decorate the Inside
You can stamp a smaller sentiment if you want more room to write a note!
For the smaller cash holder, cut the base at 7 3/4″ x 3 1/2″, but follow all the rest of the cutting and scoring directions.
Tip: Cut images out of your Designer Series Paper to decorate the belly band.
Don't Have Fancy Paper? No Problem!
Simply cut all the decorative panels out of cardstock and stamp!
In this example, I used the In Symmetry stamp set to decorate and the Christmas to Remember stamp set for the sentiment.
