Great Grad

GreatGradDetail

If you still a graduation this weekend, here is an easy money holder  was made with the retiring ‘Great Grads’ set.   Yes, my loyal readers will know that I recycled this idea from last year!

<— I have included the directions sheet for creating this ‘money holder’… just click on the thumbnail.

This is a totally simple card that holds shut with just the slit punch.  There is nothing fancy inside (no pocket or anything) because, face it–they are just going to shake the money out and probably not even read your note!

Crazy for Cupcakes Gift Card holder

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

This is one of the birthday sets that is 20% off this month for Stampin’ Up!’s birthday sale!  I let the DSP Bella Rose determine the color of the stamped images (I had a bunch of scraps left over from cards I was making).

Crazy for Cupcakes Gift Card Holder

Crazy for Cupcakes insideIt’s a *very* simple gift card holder to make and it took a VERY small amount of the designer series paper… in fact, I used the wide grosgrain to hide the fact that they don’t quite meet up under the ribbon!

The background (Chocolate Chip) is 4 x 4 1/2 inches and the So Saffron is 3 3/4 x 11 inches scored at 4 1/4 and 8 1/2 inches (folded up and punched with a half circle and held closed with mini silver brads).

The front of this gift holder is only 3 3/4 x 4 inches, so you can literally use scraps for it (as well as the punched elements again are from scraps).

This is easy enough for kids to make for their friends.  I let my kids make this type of thing on ‘rainy days’ and use them for parties they go to (and then they are made already!).
