Okay, so not exactly cash, but in some of my circles chocolate coins are definitely considered currency, perhaps even more valuable than the real thing! And now I have a cute little holder in which to gift them.
I started by printing four of the pre-coloured red trucks from the Cruisin' set, which is our featured Encore digital stamp set for this month. I have flipped two horizontally so I can sandwich them together for a double-sided look.
The next step is to fussy cut around the images, right up against the outline and including each of the windows.
Next, adhere two trucks together so they have a back and front. I also added a small piece of acetate over each window by sandwiching it between the images and holding it in place with strong glue and double sided tape.
The box is created with a small piece of card stock, cut to fit along the length of each vehicle. I glued the tabs to the outside of the box where they will be covered by each image.
Use strong glue or double-sided tape to adhere the trucks to either side of the box. Make sure the adhesive is completely dry before you load up the box or you might find it doesn't hold.
