Hallo There!

I have a great project for

you today that will take

you back to when the 

Milkman, or Insurance Man

or whoever, called to collect

his money at the end of the

week............. 

Helen Chilton has updated the

Magic Wallet and here she is

to reveal all ........

"For my magic wallet I've deliberately 

made one cover feminine and one cover masculine 

to show that they work for anybody. 

You can match your covers up to suit the occasion.

Cut two pieces of Bo Bunny Beautiful Dreamer 

text paper, 12cm x 9cm in size. 

Stamp the Woodware stamps over the top.

Colour them in with coloured pencils.

Add torn scraps of paper from the same 

collection top and bottom and put to one side.

For the inside covers cut two pieces of 

paper and stick to mount board.

Get out your ribbons, different colours for each side.

Fold and stick edges of green ribbon 

over left hand side, holding the cross 

together in the middle.

Lay right hand cover next to it on top 

of the green ribbon and stick the ends to

 the back of the right hand cover.

The back looks like this.

Fold over and stick ends of yellow ribbon

 to back of right hand side of right hand cover.

Tuck other ends under the left hand cover

 and stick to back of left hand cover..

The magic wallet mechanism is now complete.

 Note the ribbons do not touch each

 other's space - this is crucial for the 

mechanism to work.

Stick the main covers to the mount board

 and add embellishments.

Open wallet - the card is on the right.

Close back cover over the top.

Open wallet from right hand side again 

and the card will have switched sides,

 just like magic!"

Materials used:

Woodware
Bo Bunny
Derwent 

That's a great way to present a

gift card Helen, thank you.

Of course you could always

use the new Woodware Christmas

stamps and make some seasonal

gift cards ahead of time.........

Leave you with that thought...

Till tomorrow
