A Little Pocket of Money with Paper Towel Background

I often use paper towels sprayed with Stampin' Mist or water to clean my stamps. I'm usually left with a pretty mix of colors on the towel which I set aside to dry and stash away to be used as textured backgrounds for future projects. I thought the mix of colors on this one would be perfect to use along with this month's color inspiration. I love the texture it brings to the project. Recycle and reuse!

1. To use the paper towel, first attach it to a piece of scrap card stock using a glue stick. After it is attached to the card stock, you can then cut it down using a paper trimmer to fit your project. Once cut down, attach to the Tangerine Tango card base using SNAIL adhesive.

2. Stamp pocket on a piece of Marina Mist card stock using Memento Black ink. Cut out using the Big Shot and coordinating Pocket Framelits Die. Cut another pocket out of Marina Mist card stock. You don't need to stamp this one as it will be the base of the money holder.

3. Before folding in the tabs on the pocket, stamp greeting onto front using Memento Black ink.

4. Stamp folded money image onto a scrap piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock using Memento Black ink. Cut out using the Big Shot and coordinating Pocket Framelits Die. Repeat, so you have two images of folded money. Attach using a Dimensional in between.

5. Stamp "for you" onto a piece of Marina Mist card stock using Memento Black ink and cut out using Big Shot and coordinating tag Framelits Die.

6. Assemble pocket by folding under tabs and attaching the sides and bottoms using Tear and Tape Adhesive. Attach the tag to the side of the pocket using Tear and Tape Adhesive.

7. Attach pocket to card front using strips of Tear and Tape Adhesive on the back.

8. Attach folded money to the inside of the pocket using a Dimensional.

Or insert real money or gift card!
