Well I'm finally back with a new project to show you. This man's wallet is a project I've made for Damien for Father's Day & at two Fathers Day classes I've run this month. They are such a fun project & have been a huge hit with everyone at my classes, so I wanted to share them with you all too.

It's made completely of chocolate chip card (which I've found is hard to take pics of!). I pierced around the outside edges (which I find quite therapeutic) & added faux stitching with a choc chip marker. To keep the wallet closed, I attached a strip of card to the inside back of the wallet, & a punched word window to the front with brads. Both the word window & tab are also pierced & stitched. I stamped the 'Fathers Day greeting (from 'Occasional Greetings') in choc chip ink, on a scrap of choc chip card, pierced around it & distressed the edges with the edge of my scissors to give it more texture.
The inside of the wallet looks....well, like a normal wallet!

A huge thank you to Lorri, Michele & Jackie for sharing their ideas & hope you all like Kellie & I's case too. I'll be back with another really simple Fathers Day card we made at the same class.
Bye for now & happy stamping!
Di
