Hello!
I wanted to make this money gift a bit more interesting than just giving a cheque in an envelope, so there are two parts to this gift for my nephew's 18th birthday. It's a 'Spend Some, Save Some' wallet containing two pockets, one with a cheque for him to use to buy Premium Bonds or put away in a savings account, the other with some cash for him to spend on something he wants now.

The
wallet is made in two sections, the yellow inner is folded in such a
way as to create a spine for attaching one of the pockets, then the
inside front is used for the message and the second pocket is adhered to
the the inside back.
The yellow section is then glued into the blue cover.
To decorate the pockets, inners and cover I used the papers and some of the card from the Bubbly Funk Through the Letterbox 'Hooked!' craft box. There are a couple of "You are Beautiful Inside and Out" sun shaped die cuts in the box in matching colours - but I didn't think an 18 year old male would really appreciate that sentiment, so I adapted one to use on the cover.

A brilliant card Kathy and a super design. Great colours too xx
Cool card, and the idea of separating the gift into saving and spending is very clever (and might get stolen...).
