iou cash envelopes
Posted on | January 9, 2010 | 13 Comments
Isn’t this pretty! It’s a wallet/clutch. I made it to control my spending. Yeah, really. One of my new year resolution is to save money on groceries so I could spend more on crafting (hehe), and I found the perfect solution, thanks Kelleigh! Check out how she did it!
Using Kelleigh’s FREE Standard Envelope Template and labels.
And I was motivated to make this to participate the Paper Craft Planet 3D challenge.

The clutch was created using Kelleigh’s FREE Standard Envelope Template as well. I just cut off the sides, increased the body/middle section, and scored/folded the top and bottom to create the spine. Applied Modge Podge.
Bound the envies together using thread and ribbon.
.
.
Four envies for four weeks of grocery money…
.
.
And for retirement saving…
I’m serious! =)
.
.
I know, I know… I’ve made this to be better at saving money, but I know me well. I’m likely to go over my budget. So here it is… Just in case…
And inside the envelope…
.
.
And also put my kids photos so I’ll be guilty of over spending…
What about it???
Hehehe…
The amount of money I’m paying for your preschool, you’d better go to Harvard! On a full scholarship!
Hehehe…
Tough! Get yourself a rich husband or two!
Don’t worry, my kids still love me.

And a matching calender on the back. Also to hid the ribbon.

Oh my gosh, way too funny! I love those ones with your kids’ photos on them.

I love how this turned out! I need to make one for myself to save money to have some extra for all the stamping/scrapbooking things that I want/need????

Can you provide instructions/pictures on how you made the clutch?
January 10th, 2010 @ 9:11 PM
eeek~ sorry! I was already putting too many photos, so I skipped on a lot of how-to photos. Heehee
You just gave me a great idea! I need to do a tutorial on theHybridChick.com blog this month, but had no project in mind. I could totally do a clutch tutorial. THANK YOU!

First off, hilarious! Secondly, this is beautiful. I love how you attached them with stitching.

oooohhh I so love this! And I love that you’re going to do it on THC–super smart! I just told Kelleigh today that she needed to do one for coupons because all the coupon holders are U.G.L.Y. I might need to do this just for that!!

I love your idea. though i am having a little problem as to how exactly you bind the envos with ribbon and thread. could you possibly explain that in alittle more detail? in regards to finishing it. i do not understand how to sew the ribbon to envelopes.
i am so sorry to ask this but i truly love your work. if you do not have the time i completely understand.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant! I was blogging for my clients today on the ‘old fashioned coffee can’ approach of setting aside your money in envelopes each month and went to find an example picture. I was looking for a picture of the boring little yellow envelopes I use. Your idea is fabulous! Hopefully I’ll generate some traffic for you. If you have anyone that wants to know how to use the envelopes, send them my way!
