Cash Envelope Cut from Border Prints

 

If you have a creative mental block when it comes to how to use
those attractive border specialty prints in your favorite 
card stock pad, here is one useful suggestion. 
Simple assembly quickly yields the full impact of

eye-catching print art.

 

Center the flap tip of this one-piece (USA) paper bill 

gift holder at the very edge of a border print and cut. 

Complete “mountain” folds on all three perforation lines 

to define flap, back panel, pocket backing with 

short pocket front. 

Double-stick tape ends of pocket closed, insert cash, 

then fold front flap around to tuck tip into curved slit. 

Something beautiful and impressive is 

just as quick as that! 

Envelope measures approx. 3.125” wide x 

6.875” long when closed. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Select border and cut the folder shape.

Since most border prints have a centered "top edge"

design layout, center the cut shape as close to

the top edge as far as possible, and centered

on the cutting mat.

Here is the cutting result of the sample folder.

2. (In this image, the folder is shown from backside.)

Bend the shape back on all perforations.

3. Locate the guide dash marks on the pocket

front section near side edges, then apply

adhesive along edges but not beyond guide marks.

4. Fold the pocket front panel back into position,

check to align side cut edges, then attach.

5. Tuck paper bill into pocket, then . . .

. . . fold the pocket upward. Fold top flap

over into position to tuck the flap's point . . .

. . . into curved slit, flexing flap just a bit if necessary.
