Cash Frog Christmas

Hello there. Welcome to my blog.

Today I am sharing what I hope will be a cash holder, for the teens, at Christmas time. Over the years I have found they prefer cash over gift cards so much more. I'm always on the lookout for a fun way to package a few dollars for Christmas. When I saw this cute frog image, I knew I wanted to use him on the small coin envelope from Sizzix.

I used my Epson printer to print the image and sentiment on white card stock and colored the frog with Copic markers. I cut the envelope from Kraft stock with the Sizzix Collector die, then stamped it with a mistletoe die from Stampin'UP (retired). The back closes with a washer/string closure as seen below. The overall size is approximately 3x4 inches.

Add a little glue and it's done.
