Grad Money Holder and Envelope

grad-card-envelope-too
Graduation season is upon us.  We have three graduations of direct family members as well as the children of some good friends.  My daughter is graduating from college with a degree in Biology and starting working as an EMT to get clinical patient care hours a few days after she graduates.
With all of these graduations this is a really easy card to make and you can fit a gift card, money or a check in the holder.  The cut file from Lori Whitlock comes with the envelope as well.  I used some yummy Marigold twine to decorate my envelope and make a fun tassel.  I wrapped the tassel around my fingers about four times and then tied off the top and trimmed the bottom.  I used a brad to secure it to the grad cap which was cut with a hole in the middle of it.  Be sure to check out The Twinery for all of your graduation and spring celebration decoration needs.

Hi Everyone:
Anita here with a sweet gift set for your favorite teacher.  Teachers work so hard on behalf of our children and the spring is always a great time to say thank you.  I used some fun Doodlebug papers and some gorgeous bright Twinery colors to accent my card and gift box.

Easter Treats

Happy Easter:
I love making treats for special holidays and am excited about how these Rice Krispie treat pops came out and how cute they look with twine that matches the sprinkles that I put in the batter.  Twine from The Twinery just makes everything that much more special and oh so gorgeous.

Glittery St. Pat's

Happy March Everyone:
I love St. Patrick's Day.  I Irish step danced for 7 years as a kid and married a wonderful Irish man with the last name of Mulcahey.  This is my holiday and I love it.  I had a blast creating this treat container from Lori Whitlock using some wonderful twine which I curled and stiffened for the handle of my box as well as to adorn my card.  There are so many wonderful colors that you can use on all your St. Pat's and spring projects.

Happy Leap Day Everyone:
Anita here posting today on this Leap Day.  I am done with winter and am thinking ahead to spring.  I was lucky enough to receive some wonderful Deco Foil from Therm-o-web.  I had won a laminator at a recent crop so was able to create this project so easily.  I bought the candle at the dollar store and used lots of lovely The Twinery twine to highlight the foil designs.  I finished it off with some Doodlebug jewels.

Here are some close up photos of the top and the bottom.





Here are the fabulous The Twinery colors that I used.

Valentine's Day

Happy Tuesday Everyone:
I made this paper bowl and matching Valentine to my hubby who has been my Valentine for 34 years.  He is an amazing guy and father and I am so grateful that he is mine.  I made this paper bowl to put his goodies in and a matching Valentine.  The card stays shut perfectly with The Twinery twine and I used some more twine to accent the bowl as well.  The Twinery twine just brings everything up to that next level.  Be sure to get some to accent your Valentine and upcoming spring craft projects.
