So let’s jump right in.
TRI FOLD WALLET RECIPE
4 1/4″ by 11″
On the 11″ side, you will score at 3″ and 7″
On the 4 1/4″ you will score at 1 1/4″, you will remove the center section and slightly miter cut the other two to make it FEEL like a real wallet. I originally glued the flaps at the very edge so I could still slip something inside, then I stapled it with the mini stapler, then went in and covered it with a small strip of leftover DSP from the Garden Lane paper. I like the finished look much better.
I sponged the entire card with Mossy Meadow ink with a Sponge Dauber and added some “worn” spots.
I decorated it with different cards from the Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack that I trimmed to fit:
Anchor card trimmed to 2 7/8″ square
Destination Happiness card trimmed to 2 6/8″ square
Adventure Compass card trimmed to 3 3/4″ by 2 6/8″
Happy Father’s Day card trimmed to 3 3/4″ by 2 6/8″
I was also able to get two gift cards into the far right slot.
CARD RECIPE
4 1/4″ by 11″, score at 5 1/2″
Stamp the two different patterns from Verdant Garden using the stamparatus for precise placement, I used Mossy Meadow for the larger and Pear Pizzazz for the inlay image.
I added a 3/4″ by 5 1/2″ piece of the coordinating Garden Lane DSP
I stamped in Here’s to a wonderful in Pear Pizzazz ink but I masked off the “couple” with post it tape and stamped the sentiment onto a Whisper White scrap then punched it out with the new Timeless Label Punch.
I sponged the edges with some Pear Pizzazz ink to make it pop and stuck it on with dimensional to give it some lift.
Until next time,
Stay Crafty!

Rachel I love the tri-fold wallet. Thanks for sharing.
That tri-fold Wallet is ingenious! I must admit I would also very much like one of the Disney gift cards to go in one if I made it. LOL! The card you made is a perfect color combo for any masculine card.
I can’t wait to make this wallet! It’s so cute!!!!! Thanks for sharing…
