Elegant Christmas Holly Parcel Lottery Wallet CardCompleted by Gwyneth George

I've already made this design up twice, and plan on making a couple more, so the picture shows the outside of one and the inside of another.

I printed the design onto 190gsm Glossy Photo Paper and scored along the indicated lines before cutting. I then just folded into shape and glued the tabs in place. As I'm having problems cutting at the moment I didn't attempt to cut out the decoupage elements, but I did use red and green glitter gel pens on the holly and berries, and a Sakura clear stardust pen around the greetings panel which gives a nice reflective element to the wallet as it is moved in the light.

I do like to give lottery tickets or scratchcards as a little something with a larger gift at Christmas (who knows the recipient could be lucky and win the big prizes - somebody's got to) but up uptil now they'd just been put in an uninspiring envelope, so I was so glad to see these little wallets that are designed to look like parcels. Makes the gift look far more special.
