It’s a new year so it’s time to dust off and resurrect an
old favorite. Please welcome back Money-Saving Monday. This was always
one of the more popular features on Scrap This Save That, so it needs a glorious return!

Even though Christmas is over, along with most of the white
elephant gift giving parties, I thought I would share with you a quick tip for
saving a lot of money on white elephant gifts. Although I know traditionally
white elephant gifts should be a gag gift or regifting something unwanted, I
always like to bring nice presents that I think people will get a lot of use
out of. It’s always fun to have the popular present that everybody wants to “steal!!” With that in mind, I made superhero cards and envelopes to take to our
last white elephant party of the season. They were perfect for the crowd that
was there.

I found a Batman and a Superman logo in the Silhouette Store
and use them as the basis to create my cards. I used the outlined shape of the logos
to create a shaped card for each. This was done by duplicating each shape and
welding them together. I love the fact that I can design and do things like
that with my Silhouette Cameo. Love that machine!!

Next I made the standard envelope and rounded the edges on
the flap. I cut small logos to go on the back of each flap. I think it really
added a nice extra touch to the envelope. For the black Batman envelopes, even
though you can’t see it in the picture, I cut a white panel for the front of
the envelope so that the sender would be able to write on it without having to use a special pen.

Dude, these are so cool! There aren't too many manly cards out there that dudes would actually keep! This one I think they might!
I looked in the Silhouette store and can't find the Batman logo anywhere. My grandson's first birthday is coming up and my daughter wants to do a Batman theme. Do you happen to have the link to the file?
