Kreations By Kristena

Hello. I'm Kristena Tunstall. In the Fall of 2007, my husband and I went through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. We were taught through this program about a Zero Balanced Budget and to use a cash envelope system, learning to pay what you can in cash instead of debit/credit card. 

While you receive cash envelopes with the system, they were generic, and the quality didn't hold up very long for how much we used them. It was a few years later that I decided to create my own cash envelope template originally in MS Word. I'd found really cute Mickey and Minnie scrapbook papers that I printed the template on, cut them out, folded, and glued them together. I realized that the ends of the envelope needed some form of protection, and this is how the creatively matched ends that go really well with the main envelope came into being. 

I fell in love with what I created. When we went out in public to shop, I was asked where I'd purchased the envelopes. It was this very question that led me to start selling my cash envelopes. For the first few years, I purchased really cute scrapbook papers, and made them the same way I first created them. 

Then, just over a year ago or so, I decided to switch from preprinted papers to moving my template into Photoshop and creating my own envelope designs to sell. While I do have many already created cash envelopes available for purchase, most of my designs are made once the order is placed. I do this so I can customize each person's order based on their preferences. 

While I have several listing options to choose from, I also take custom requests. This is actually how the Harry Potter, Beauty and the Beast, and the Toy Story listing became new listings.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and how I began my shop.
