We’ve been attempting the Dave Ramsey Cash System and it works pretty well. I wanted a few envelope type dividers for each of my Cash categories to help me stay organized. My template was inspired by an envelope system I saw on Pinterest but there are many other ways and other templates for the envelopes, just browse Pinterest.
TEMPLATES:
Here are the templates, PDF format: Cash Envelope Pages
This contains 8 pages: 5 pages for the envelopes, a page of labels (some are blank for you to fill in with your own categories) and 2 pages for the register inserts.
If you choose to line the inside of your envelopes with a second paper (I used polka dots) you’ll need to print the files reversed so it lines up correctly. I already flipped the pages and you can download them here: Cash Envelope Liner Pages
INSTRUCTIONS:
Print your envelopes on a paper of your choice (I used scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby)
If you decide to line them then print out the “Liner” file. You’ll notice the file is upside down and backwards, this is so it lines up correctly with your outside envelope paper.
I printed the Registers on a light cardstock and the Labels on a vellum
All the envelopes cut out
Match your outer and inner envelope pieces together. Glue together (I used modge podge)
Fold your envelope closed, glue the flaps down
Cut out labels and glue to the envelopes.
What a great idea to jazz up the envelopes! Anything to make budgeting more fun is a winnin my book :) thanks for sharing the templates!
ReplyDeleteHow Adorable! and Thank You for the Freebies...you don't see that much these days, Seriously, Thank You!! I was once a spender ~ without care....but thanks to my remarriage to a disciplined Army Veteran....I am reformed...and I Love, Love, Love, having money in the bank!! ♥ U Rog!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you have available. Thanks so much for sharing your great system. I attempted to download the Cash Envelope Liner System, but only got another page of the Envelope patterns. I would really appreciate it if I could download the whole thing! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe liner is the envelope pattern but its been rotated. So you should see the wording backwards or upside down for the liner. Hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your ideas. When you purchase the stock card paper, what size did you buy.
ReplyDeleteThe card stock for registers was 8.5 x 11, the scrapbook paper for the envelopes was 12x12
DeleteHi! Thanks for this. What type of bag are you using in the third picture from the bottom to store your envelopes?
ReplyDeleteThat is a small clutch I made. Using Silver sequin fabric and a blue fleece.
DeleteI am now doing Dave Ramsey FPU. (#6 coming up)... I have been resisting the envelopes out of just stubborn orneriness... but you have just given me a renewed spirit toward the envelops. Thank you so much. God bless you and keep posting (here and where I found you - Pinterest)
