Grad Money Holders

We have many Graduation Open Houses to go to this year, so I had to come up with something to hold all of that money! I have some enveloped from a friend who worked at a printer and the envies measure 7 3/4" x 3 3/4", the perfect size to hold money. This first card uses the owl from Forest Friends, the leaves from the Bird and Branch punch, and the greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. On the inside, I stamped "Congratulations" and glued two more branches on either side of the word.
This is a feminine version of the money holder. Little Layers Plus (retired), Scribbles Swirls embosslit, some edging and a ribbon and voila! You're done.
For the inside, I used Well Scripted from the Spring Mini Catalog and more of the Swirls Scribbles embosslit. It's a bit hard to see, but there is a flap that is folded up and adhered with Sticky Strip. Before gluing that down, I punched a half oval out of the center of the flap so that the kids could get to their money. I'll post dimensions and score lines in a day or two.

Well, thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Easter Roses in Lavender

Happy Easter! Ok, so it's not Easter yet, but I got a jump start on it. I used the Roses Embossing Folder with my Vellum Cardstock from SU! After running it through the Big Shot, I sponged the back of the vellum with Lavender Lace and then punched the bottom border with my SAB punch. Only a few days left to order that baby for FREE with a $50 order. Feel free to click on that button on the right to find the catalog online from my demo website.
The greeting is from Well Scripted and punched out with the Designer Label Punch. The outer frame was punched out with the Matchbox Bigz XL Die. The rhinestones finishing off the greeting are from the Eggcellent Eggs decorating kit, which unfortunately is sold out.

So, thanks for stopping by once again. It was nice to see you. Feel free to leave me a note.

Blessings,

Love That Finial Press Folder!

Oh yeah! See that great embossing pattern in the back- ground? That's the Finial Press embossing folder from Stampin' Up! This first card was from a workshop where the hostess requested an Easter card. The tulip basket image is from A Flower for All Seasons, a set that I received free as a Sale-A-Bration reward. I just love FREE!
And here is the same card that we made at the next workshop with a ribbon added and switched into a birthday card. The DSP is from the Sale-A-Bration pack. The birthday greeting is from the new set Well Scripted...isn't it gorgeous?! I punched it out with my wide oval punch and the frame behind is was punched out with my Big Shot and Lots of Tags sizzlits. I just love how Stampin' Up! coordinates their accessories.

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

It's the Breast Cancer Ribbon....

I'm sorry that this is a bit hard to see. I really played with the lighting and color on this one, but I couldn't quite catch the real thing. This is for a special woman in my life who was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. She'll be undergoing surgery next week and then radiation. I didn't want to just say "thinking of you" or "get well". Those seemed too trite. So I went with "love you much" because that said more of what I was feeling. The embossed flowers are from the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Folder from Stampin' Up! The rhinestones are from the Eggcellent Eggs pack. (I love those things!!!!!) I punched out the greeting with my Designer Label Punch and the pink frame behind it was made with the Lots of Tags Sizzlit and the Big Shot. Have I mentioned lately how much I love the Big Shot??? The Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon was made with Pretty in Pink 1/4" Grosgrain. I also textured the inside on the upper right corner to match, but didn't get a photo of it.

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station. And if you can, please say a prayer or two for those going through cancer treatment.

Blessings,
Julie
