Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Fun Christmas Money Holder

Good Morning! One of the things that I need for Christmas are money holders. You know the story, Grandma doesn’t know what the kids are interested in, so she sends money so that they can get something they really want. And I guess I’m kind of old fashioned, because I think of sending money instead of gift cards or Amazon codes, so I decided I would make money holders and use the seriously cute Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Fun die cut reindeer. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used a 8-1/2″ x 7″ Poppy Parade panel, scored at 2″ and 5-1/4″ on the long side to make the base. I used Tear & Tape along the sides to secure the inside pocket and cut Garden Green mats for the pretty holly pattern in the Snowy Scenes designer series paper. I adhered the DSP to the mats and adhered them to the front and pocket.

I used the cute die cut reindeer from the Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Fun dies as the focal point for my money holder. I used Early Espresso, Basic Beige and Pecan Pie to make the reindeer and Poppy Parade for his nose. I did cut two extra Basic Beige ovals so that his snout and nose would be higher than his face. After assembling the deer, I cut a Garden Green wreath and Poppy Parade bow and adhered it to the deer with glue dots.

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a Pool Party circle and adhered the deer to the circle with glue dots. I used a Spotlight on Nature circle die to cut a Poppy Parade panel and adhered it to the front with liquid glue. I taped a long length of Real Red Baker’s twine to the center and tied a bow at the bottom. I adhered the deer on top with dimensionals.

For the inside of the money holder, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Reindeer Fun stamp set using Poppy Parade ink on a Pool Party strip and cut it out with the Stylish Shapes die. I adhered the label to the pocket with liquid glue. I stamped the longer sentiment using Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the holly leaves in Garden Green and the berries in Poppy Parade. I adhered the panel to a Garden Green mat and then to the top flap of the money holder.

The little deer is so cute and really looks impressive in person! It’s sure to delight anyone receiving money at Christmas.
