This week's Seasonal Saturday was inspired by the fact that most money holder's I see out there were just too plain and I wanted to come up with something you could make unique and alter to fit the receiver. First thing first though, the winner of last week's Hot Cocoa Mug is...Jen from Jen's Cup of Creations. Now if you didn't win this time, don't be too sad...there's still this week and the mega drawing in a three or so weeks.
Now onto today's project. Here's a photo of it assembled.
Here's a photo of the money holder with the holder.

Paper: Red and White card stock; Merry Moments Designer Series Paper
Ink: Vivid Brick Red Ink
Accessories: Silk Ribbon; Cuttlebug; Nestabilities Circle and Scallop Circle Dies; Small, Large and Scallop Oval Punches; Round Tab Punch; Cording

Loved your ornament gift card. I've been looking but couldn't find one that said, " Here I am." Came across one similar to yours that lead me to your site. Love your creative work. This convinced me to sign on Facebook.

Carolina, Thanks for the inspiration! I enlarged your money holder to accommodate a gift card. You can see it here: http://les4inspiration.blogspot.com/2009/12/bows-baubles.html It turned out great! Thanks again for the inspiration and keep up the great work!!

adorable!! as always ;)
happy holidays and hugs! Nicole
Posted by: NICOLE | December 03, 2009 at 07:56 PM
these are adorable Carolina!! Definitely need to make a few of these! As to whether I prefer cash, gift card or a gift? Well, it's like this - if I get cash, I usually end up spending it on something totally not for me. Gifts? after receiving things like a salad shooter, cookie pans, and other non-me items - Gift card all the way!!
Posted by: LuAnn | November 29, 2009 at 07:58 AM
What a great idea! I LOVE this cute money holder.
Personally, I prefer to receive a gift card - money is just to easy to "fritter" away.
Posted by: Donna Bagwell | November 28, 2009 at 04:44 PM
What a great idea! I can't wait to try these! As for gifts, I always have preferred the gift, but now w/the money crunch, actual currency is most appreciated.

Just love the tutorial quick and simple but elegant thanks what a great job
Posted by: robin boyer | November 28, 2009 at 06:56 AM
These are just the cutest money holders ever!! I can;t wait to make one or two or three...!!! I see $$$ coworkers will love to buy these. As for the gifts, I like to receive all three, but prefer a gift given with a lot of thought put into it (handmade would be just fine) but I won't turn anything down. Thanks again for the video. Happy Holidays to you.

this is so incredibly cute - I just ADORE it-you, my friend are the BOMB!
Posted by: Donna B | November 26, 2009 at 04:30 PM
This is adorable. I prefer gifts that are picked out for me personally, but gift cards are also nice. Thanks!
Posted by: Debbie | November 26, 2009 at 12:02 PM
I love receiving a mixture of all three! I love the personal touch of a gift picked-out or handmade for me. I also love receiving gift cards because that means I have to spend it at a store that I love. Money is great because it's the most versatile!
I love these money gift holders!

These past few years, our families have grown,so I prefer gift certificates; BUT, I shall not refuse any of the 3!
