These are my finished projects, the Wallet Card (at the top) and the 'Box Envelope'.

A view of the open Wallet Card.  The bottom pocket fits our Australian money notes.  Your greeting words can be added to the centre panel, adjacent to the Heart. The Wallet card measures 4" x 6 1/8".  The Envelope Box measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/4" x 3/4".

All the components prepared ready for assembly.

This is the template to create the 'No-Glue' Box Envelope.  I found inspiration on a Youtube link and modified it.  These are the things I wanted in a box. I wanted it to fit my Wallet Card with maximum height.  I liked the idea of no-glue as that enabled you to store these flat until you wanted them.  It had to be made from an A4 sheet with folded edges to give support and to be visually tidier with no gapes on the sides.  It had to have 2 locking parts because it was going to hold money.  After many attempts I was happy with this template.

On the template, I ear-tagged a section on the front panel of the box where you could add an inlay die cut - so I added one.  This die was from the 'Peaceful Peonies' collection.  The size of the area was determined by the underneath folds - I didn't want to see them through the die-cut.

The Patterned paper front panel has to have a circle cut out of it for the die-cut to show through - I measured from the top and side edges to get the position and then used the actual die to draw around the outside edge of the circle, then I just cut that circle out.  Glue panel to front of box.

The 2 Heart dies were taped together and then run it through the die cutting machine.  I cut 2 from the Silver Glitter card and one from the foam sheet.  I mounted the foam cut to one of the glitter card cuts and glued a ruffle of cheesecloth/muslin to the inner side before mounting it to the front panel over the in-lay die-cut.  The other heart was glued to the 'Together Forever' sentiment that went onto the inside centre panel of the wallet card.

Here I used the leaf die cut from patterned paper to create a 'lace-like' trim for the front flap.  I glued the leaves on the front flap before adding the front patterned paper panel.  This  concealed the attachment of the leaves and is pleasing to the eye from both sides of the edge.

The Wallet card fits just nicely in it's box. On the front panel, I heat embossed the stamp 'Wedding Day' with the Silver Sparkles embossing powder.

You can see from this photo where I placed the heart and butterfly embellishments.  I used a mix of glue and foam tape to mount these.  I added a small strip of re-positional tape to the underside of the front flap of the wallet card to hold it down.
