When I saw Nicole's video tutorial HERE on making this gift wallet for Father's Day I knew I wanted to make one - and I had just the little guy I wanted to pop on the front - this is one of Mo's new Kids - Harvard - isn't he too cute and you can find him at Mo's store HERE! Now we don't celebrate Father's Day here in Australia until September - but I figured this would be a great gift idea for a teacher (just change the sentiment to THANKS maybe - LOL), a child heading off to high school or college, a grandpa's birthday (filled with pictures as well as a gift card) - really the possibilities are endless!I decided to use THIS fabulous tutorial by Kylie to make faux leather - I've been wanting to give this a go and now seemed the perfect time! I also changed Nicole's sizes for the wallet slightly - the outer cover is 1/2" taller and so is the largest inside piece - this was to make room for Harvard - I didn't want to chop his toes off - LOL. I also added a strip for a clasp - and it's held closed by a small magnet and the back of the brad.
I haven't quite decided who this is going to yet - maybe Grandpa for his birthday??? I've just popped some things on the inside to show you how everything sits and will work out the proper "fixin's" soon - and yes that IS real Aussie money - it's a bit more colourful that some currencies!
FYI I took this photo at about 10pm - I've borrowed a daylight lamp from my sister as I often get frustrated having to wait for the right light during the day - not too bad!!!!

This is fantastic Deb. Love little Harvard with his glasses and all your embossing to make the wallet so realistic. Great idea for some teenage boys birthdays too! Love it.

Wow Debbie, this is awesome!! It looks like a real wallet and I love your idea of filling it with photos as well as a gift card. Harvard is a real little cutie, and I love his name too! Congrats on making the Mo team permantly, your work with these stamps is amazing!!
Awesome, I made one of these little numbers a while back, but it was not as fancy as yours!

I know I already said I loved it but it looks better with a bigger photo. Although our Canadian Money is colourful like your Aussie money, it's not as big it looks like. The faux leather looks amazing, puts mine to same;) I'm really excited you made one!

Just absolutely fab. Great for father's day. I did one of these ages and ages ago but not with the impressions from a cuttlebug because at that time I didn't own a cuttlebug but now you have inspired me again to do one of these wallets. Thanks for sharing the link. Just gorgeous this little wallet it actually looks like a real wallet and the detail is amazing.
