Sometimes there is an acute problem when you choose present, especially for a man, the best option is to give money. Especially if this is a collective gift, then everyone put together money, bought an envelope and a bouquet of flowers and congratulated a colleague on his birthday or other holiday. This is also how doctors, teachers, professors and other people you need are mostly congratulated or thanked for some service. But still, in order to have some zest and intriguing memory in your gift, you can make an envelope for money with congratulations with your own hands and will help in its production scrapbooking.

For the master class we will need the following:
• Dark brown cardboard, album sheet;
• Men's paper for scrapbooking, sheet 30*30, brown in color and with different masculine elements;
• Brown cotton lace 20 cm wide;
• Dark brown rep ribbon, its width is 6 mm;
• Figured polymer frame in dark brown color;
• A picture with a rectangular car and a round one with a clock;
• Wooden round button;
• Stamp “Congratulations”, black ink;
• Acrylic block;
• Beige branch of cutting;
• Leg-split;
• Brown half beads;
• Curb hole punch;
• Satin ribbon in a beige-brown checkered pattern, 15 mm wide;
• Lighter, pencil, scissors, double-sided tape, ruler, PVA glue, glue gun.

Let's make the base first. We unfold the dark brown cardboard vertically and attach a bill to it for trying on. We make reserves of 0.5 cm at the top, bottom and sides, so that the sides of the envelope can be glued at the end, and the bill can be inserted freely into it.

We divide it into three parts of 9 cm, and the height of the envelope is 17.5 cm. We draw the bend lines with scissors.

Use a border hole punch to make the openwork edges of the inside of the envelope. We also cut out a 3*17.5 cm strip from the remaining cardboard and punch a hole in it. For tying we use a checkered ribbon. We cut off 12-15 cm pieces and burn the edges.

We glue it with double-sided tape to the base of the envelope at the top and bottom, approximately in the middle.

Cut out three rectangles from scrap paper. We decorate the front rectangle. We glue pictures onto it, and at the bottom there is a brown openwork strip of cardboard.

Separately, we stamp “Congratulations” on a white thick sheet, cut out one inscription, tint the edges a little and glue it to the bottom with tape.

Cut strips of lace and grosgrain ribbon.

First, we apply lace under the pictures, fix it at the back, and then glue a strip of tape onto it, also gluing it at the back. We sew on the lace with ribbon, inscription and pictures using a machine.

We glue the scrap rectangles onto the base with tape. We sew each one separately with a machine, then glue the pocket inside with PVA glue.

Now we decorate the outside of the envelope. We glue a polymer frame in the center with half beads on it.We tie a bow from twine, glue it next to it, then a button, and at the top left we glue a leaf.
