Today's project is a cute coin envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.  

Here's the front of the envelope. 

Here's a little close up.  I just tied a bow in some Linen Thread and added it with a glue dot.  The words are from the Yippee-Skippee stamp set.  I'm loving how the new catalog has a word index with these stamp sets so you can find what you're looking for in a snap!

Here's the back of the closure.  Trimming off the pointy flaps gives this the correct look for a coin envelope.  I also love this type of closure, isn't it fun?

The brads go through the DSP, so I've added some circle on the back so your card (or money) won't be dented or scratched by the back of the brads.  

To make these coin envelopes, I used a 6" x 6" piece of DSP.  I punched and scored it (with the Envelope Punch Board) on one side at 2-5/8", then on the other 3 sides, I lined up the pointer with the scored line, then punched and scored.  After you punch and score on all 4 sides, crease your lines, then trim 7/8" from the top and bottom flaps (the smaller flaps), fold in the sides and trim one so it will have a straight edge, then glue together (make sure you don't get glue on the inside).  The outside circles for the closure are 1/2" and the inside circles are 3/4".  Tie a piece of Linen Thread around one of the brads, underneath the 1/2" circle, and trim off the short end, then wrap around other brad in a figure eight.
