Merry Moose Money Holders

I'm pretty sad that Merry Moose and it's coordinating punch are not hanging out with us longer. I'm pretty sure this set and punch will remain in my craft room for a while yet! 

I did a Facebook Live on how to create these three money holders. You can see that video HERE. 

I am going to show you the close ups of these projects. First I have the ornament or gift tag. I die cut the scalloped circle and three of the plaid circles. I adhered one of the plaid circles to the front of the circle. I then punched a moose out, tied some ribbon around him like a scarf and added him to the front with dimensionals. I cut a piece of ribbon to create the loop. I adhered that to the back of the Basic Black circle. I adhered another plaid circle over the top of the ribbon ends. I cut the third circle in half. I added the half of the circle to the bottom with Multi-Purpose glue along just the edge. This creates a pocket that you can tuck some cash or a check into!


Belly bands are so much fun! I cut the Shaded Spruce to 8 1/2" x 5". I scored this at 2 1/2" and 6 1/2". I then adhered the designer series paper (cut to 4 3/4" x 2 1/4" and 4 3/4" x 1 3/4") to the two flaps. I used my 1 1/2" circle punch to punch a notch from the bottom flap. Adhere the bottom flap to the card but only use adhesive on the edges so that there is a pocket for your gift. To create the belly band I used a piece of Shaded Spruce that was cut to 8 1/2" x 1". I scored this at 2 5/8" and 6 3/4". Wrap this around the card and adhere the two ends together on the front. Cover the seam with a punched moose. I did two layers to this moose since he didn't have any other support around him.


This beauty is the same size as a card. I cut the Cherry Cobbler cardstock to 11" x 4 1/4" and scored at 1 1/2" and 7". I adhere the 1 1/2" flap to the bottom of the card only using glue on the edges to create a pocket for my gift. The designer series paper was cut to 4" x 1 1/4" and 4" x 3 3/4". I added a couple of layered circles and a moose to finish this card off. 


These ideas can be used year round for money or gift card giving, just change the colors and stamp set or punch and make it work for you!

Happy Stampin'!

Merry Moose 2

Merry Moose has been such a favorite of mine for the last two Christmases. I think he is so stinkin' cute! 

The card base is Garden Green and the plaid and layer is Pretty Peacock. I did fussy cut the scarf for Mr. Moose.


I did a Facebook live show how to create this background. It's really quite simple. You can watch that video HERE if you would like. To create this background I inked up the embossing folder then ran the cardstock through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine to transfer the ink to the cardstock. The raccoon and log are water colored.


This card uses the kissing technique. I did a Facebook Live on this technique too! You can watch that HERE. I used the solid image of the moose and inked it up with Crumb Cake and then I stamped off the moose so the ink wasn't so intense. Then I inked up the solid trees from Mountain Air and stamped them on the moose image or kissed the images. Then I finally stamped the moose and punched him out. Kissing works great with solid images and a pattern for the other stamp. The ribbon is colored with Mossy Meadow blend.


I hope you got Merry Moose for yourself. I don't think you will regret this wonderful stamp set and punch being part of your collection.

Happy Stampin'!
