Long cards.

Good morning!  Let me ask you a question.  How do feel about long cards?  Every year we do the photo cards and every year I have a bunch of envelops leftover.  I save those envelopes :)  They are 8 1/4 x 4 1/4.  Every once in awhile I will have a need for a card that will fit in one of these envelopes.  I call them long cards, because, well, they're long.  8" x 4", that's pretty long compared to most of the cards I make.

My need for long cards this past weekend was to hold cash.  Cash fits really well in a long card :)

Here's the front of my long card.  I used October Afternoon papers and miscellany.  I attached that tag with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher.  I really resisted buying that thing, but you know what, I find myself reaching for it all the time!  Rather than stamping or die cutting Happy Birthday, I just grabbed a pen and wrote it out myself.  This card came together QUICK!  No frills for my 12 year old nephew :)

Here's a close up of the tag, and those cute little staples :)

On the inside, I laid my money down and, with a pencil, placed a hash mark on each side of the bill.  Then I used my Stampin' Up! Slit Punch to punch those slits.  The bill fits right in between the two.  I just had to remember to erase my hash marks :)  I took a picture of the card with the money in it, but I didn't know if it was illegal to post something like that on the Internet?  Is it?  I would hate for the Blogger police to come after me!  Haha!

Well, I hope you enjoy your Tuesday and thank you for stopping by today.  I'll see you tomorrow!
