Wallet Card

We are off for the weekend to visit with family in PA to celebrate 'winter' b-days before my in-laws become the 'snow-birds' and leave for warmer temperatures down south for a few months. My nephew will be turning 16 - holy cow, I remember celebrating his 1st
b-day when he smooshed his cute little face into his teddy bear cake. Time goes by way too fast!
16!!! Masculine!!! UGH!!!! What to do for a card????? Simple and fits the bill- literally :) I decided to make a wallet card. Very very simple!!
* 4-1/4" x 11" Choc Chip cardstock scored in half. Corner punched each corner.
* Sponged the edges in Choc Chip and using my Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, I pierced around the entire card.
* Using my Basic Black Marker, the fine tip side, I connected the dots to look like faux stitching
* With my VersaMark pad, I blotted the entire front of the card and then sprinkled Clear Embossing powder on top.
* Using my stylus (or you could use your bone folder) I kreated random lines horizontally and vertically
* Then using my Heat Tool I heated up the front to 'melt' the clear powder. The end result with the lines makes it look a bit like leather.
* Cut a piece of Dusty Durango and again blotted it with VersaMark and heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder
* Took the piece of Dusty Durango and bent in in different directions which 'cracked' the embossing and further gave it that rustic leather look.
* Using the Round Tab Punch, I followed the same technique to kreate the faux leather look for the 'closure'
* Using my Crop-a-dile, I set in a Pewter Jumbo Eyelet

Inside of Card
* Cut another piece of Choc Chip 3-1/2" x 11" and scored it in half and Corner punched bottom two corners
* Sponged the edges with Choc Chip ink and paper pierced.
* Applied Sticky Strip to the very edges (except along the top where you will slip in your gift)and placed along the bottom of the card.
* Inked up a retired happy birthday stamp in VersaMark and heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder.

A wallet card :) Its a simple design,no froo froo, but I know he'll be more interested in whats in the wallet, than what it looks like (and thats just fine!!!) Happy 16th Birthday Troy Boy!
