Graduation Party Favor!!

Hello there, first of all I want to apologize for the delay in bringing you this second project of our Gradution Theme Craft Series. Life happens and I was so really busy last week, I didn't have a chance to get to film the video at all, but I'm hoping you'll agree with me that it's better later than never!

Without anymore delay lets get to it, shall we?

Today, I'll be sharing this cute little treat box so you can make it in time for a Graduation Party. Not may tools needed and this is a quick project. I made these boxes many times before so I basically know the measurements by heart.

From a 12 x 12 inches piece of cardstock or Designer Paper, you can make 4 boxes and for me that's a great deal!

Here a list of tools you will need:
- scoring board either in metric (cm) or imperial (inches) or one that has both metric and imperial measurements, with this last one you can also trim the paper.
- bone folder (sometimes come with the scoring tool) but in case you want a separate one
- double sided craft tape
- mini decorative clothespins
- designer paper in silver or gold
- graduation theme sicker 

Now, let's watch the video!

Directions:

Piece of 6 x 6 inches or 15 x 15 cm paper

Score at:

Score line 1: 1-3/8 inches or 3.5 cm
Score line 2: 2-3/4 inches or 7 cm
Score line 3: 4-1/8 inches or 10.5 cm
Score line 4: 5-1/2 inches or 14 cm

Flip you paper once and score at 1-3/8 inches or 3.5 cm.

Use your creativity and decorate it as you wish, have fun playing with paper!

Graduation Hat Gift Card Holder!

Hello friends, this is the graduation season and guess what? Greeting cards companies can make only so many different cards, so chances are if you have a graduation party to attend to, you and someone else will give the graduate the same card. Yikes!!

Many years ago when I was a Stampin' Up demonstrator I learned  from a fellow demonstrator how to make a really cool card.

Isn't  it  cool?

It turns out that Little V got a few of them with different colors, but she loves them because I made them myself. We love handmade things, they are so special.  So if you would like to give your creativity a try, let's get to it!

First, I'm going to show you how to make that beautiful tassel. Here's a list of the materials you would need for this part of the project:

- Embroidery Floss
- Scissors
- Ruler

Now, just click on the video below to watch how to make it.

Not that hard, right? You can make it whatever color you like. It can match the color of the school uniform, it can be your child's favorite color, whatever color you'll decide to use it will be great!

Now, let's get to the card. First, a list of the material you will need:

- colored cardstock
- white cardstock
- large size brads
- stamps
- stars stickers
- graduation cap stickers

You don't need to have all the fancy tools, just use your creativity and it will be just as special.

I hope you all enjoyed this little project because we have more in store for the week! Only clue I will give - it's still graduation theme!

Any questions? Feel free to leave a comment below or send me a message through the contact form.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
