Tutorial: Walletcard   http://stampartic.blogspot.com/2010/09/tutorial-walletcard.html

 

Этот Мк на английском. Мне показалось, что все понятно даже тем, кто  английского не знает. Если что-то не понятно, пишите в комментариях, я добавлю подстрочник.

Today I will show you how to make a walletcard.
The design of the card is supereasy to vary.
I have decide that today I will show you some ideas of how to decorate your walletcard.

*

You may need some other things to.

For example; glue, a cuttlebug (or a Epix Six) and other stuff that you can decorate the card with.

The papers you use helps if they are in size: 15 x 30.5 cm

(Cut the 30.5 x 30.5cm papers to the half size)

Check the width of the embossingplate, is it 14cm? Then the wallets length will became 14cm also.
Is the embossingplate only 13cm then the wallet also get that length.

Cuttlebug have a embossingplate that looks like leather. Fiskars have also a variant called "Lether" (that's the one I've used) In the picture above you can see both embossingplates.

 

 

My "beautiful" sketch at the cardfolding

 

Now you fold the cardstock. Do as my sketch shows.

Cut and remove the remaining 5.5 cm.

 

Here I have cut the remaining papers to decorate the walletcard with.
The dark-brown paper is just for give the wallet a nicer look and also a better stability.
The brighter paper is going to act the imitation-leather.
I have measured the size of the paperspieces, with the three outsides of the wallet.
It is a matter of taste, how you want the front pages, there for I will not put any directives for which sizes there can have.

The straps may however be about 14cm long and 2cm wide.

 

Here, I've fixed the edges with a great template from Mirabyll.
I've drawn the circle along the edge of the paper and then cut out with a scissor.
(Of course you can use corner punches instead, it facilitates the work of course) :)

I have used the circle of 2.25 cm to the wallets "lid".
To the straps, I have used the circle of 1.5 cm.
(The Wallets lid can decorates in many other ways. For example with an edgepunch or why not punch the corners with a nice cornerpunch?

Or glue a beautiful lace along the side.)

 

 

Time to emboss “the lether pieces".
Do not forget to emboss the two straps!
Embossing only those paperspieces that will act imitation-leather.

(In my case, not the dark-brown paperpieces )

 

Here I have used a punch from Fiskars .

On the back, I have drawn up guides to finally cut out the holes with a scalpel.

Even here there are many ideas on how the buckels can look like.

 

Here I have glued the pieces at the walletcardbase (cardstock)
As you can see, I have also sewn with sewing machine along the letherpieces,

It´s looks more real and get´s a nicer design.

 

Make some hole and put eyelets in them.

 

 

Put 3D-pillows at the back of the buckles.
But do not put any 3D-pillows at the upper and lower parts!

(look at my arrows in the picture)

 

 

Here I have attached the buckles at the wallets lid with help from the 3D-pillows.
And then attached the strapes in the buckles.
Now you have to glue the straps on the back of the wallet.

 

 

Here I have glued the straps. But for show, I have put some
piece of patterned paper over the edges.

 

 

Now you cut out two identical pieces of paper in size 10 x 8 cm.
I chose the same color of the paper that the base(cardstock) of the walletcard.

Then you fold the papers along the longside 10 times.(1cm x 10 times)

Finally, you fold them so they look like two accordions.

 

Here we have the inside of the walletcard. The lining in the wallet are made of a beautiful patterned paper.
The inside of the lid have I decorated.
Here you can make small pockets for personal messages.
Like creditcards- or visitingcardsholders as it is in real wallets.

 

Finally, I glued the two utter edges of the "accordionpieces" and then
attach them inside the wallet, so it forms a coin tray.

 

Finished result!

 

(Please ignore the white color at my ugly, shriveled fingers ..) ;)
I have finally attached the lid with Velcro.

It is possible to fasten the lid with other stuff, for example; magnets, buttons, strings or something else, it is just imagination who sets the limits.
