Sister Stamps Release #22 is available today!

Hi!  Today is release day!  Go out and get your new Sister Stamps!  Graduation is right around the corner!  I mentioned earlier that I made a few projects with the Graduate stamp from Sister Stamps Release #22.  When I saw the image I had a whole bunch of ideas for graduation.  One of them was a money envelope.

This is the first one I made.  The sentiment is from Hanko Designs.  Papers are from Doodlebug.

This is the back and I left an area blank for names and what not.

I added a couple of velcro circles for easy opening and closing.

While I liked the first one that I made, I thought it was a bit busy and maybe time consuming if you had to make one for tons of friends.  So here's a simpler one.  I guess this one would be perfect for UH graduation.

This is the back of it. 

Now I'm off to finish up some Easter goodies.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Party Animals

Hi!  Me again with my 3rd entry for PTI's Make It Monday using scor-tape and glitter.  This is probably the most glitter I've ever used in my crafting life.  I promise this is my last entry, maybe. 

Anyway, I had this idea for this card using the animals from Tiny Treats Birthday.  I wanted a line of animals leading each other to Monkey's cage for his birthday party.  They are following each other using some twine on a glitter strip.  Because I wanted it to be kind of a long layout, I decided to make a money holder card. 

Here's a close up of Monkey hanging from some twine.  I used the mat stack stamp from Tiny Treats Christmas cause it looked similar to bars on a cage.  I used the long twine to tie the money card closed.

All the other animals coming along with Turtle bringing some balloons.

This is the inside.  It's a pretty simple money holder card to make.  I cut the kraft cardstock to 8.5 x 7 inches.  Then from the 7 inch side, I scored at 3 and 6 inches.  That leaves 2.5 inches to fold up to create the pocket for the cash.  I punched some semicircles and done.

I added another strip of glitter and a sentiment and wrapped twine on the edge.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
