Butterflies in the grass

Cut a rectangle out of a piece of scratch paper so you can mask this card. Use your daubers to create the sky and draw in a few dashed lines with a fine tip pen to suggest the movement of your butterflies. Pink and orange are popular colors this season. At Impress we've been using Brilliance stamp pads called pearlescent orange and pearlescent coral a lot and we're loving the combination.

Graduation Box

Make a keepsake box for your favorite graduate. For this box we glued four 3 1/4" white envelopes together to make a line of envelopes to tuck money, personal notes and photos into. Here's how to glue the envelopes together: lay down the first envelope and have the flap open. Wet that flap and then lay the body of the second envelope down right next to the first one over the moistened flap. That glues those two together. Then wet the second envelope's flap and keep adding envelopes until your line of envelopes is as long as you want it. This is a fun technique to use with any size envelope.

Items used:
3 1/4 Inch Envelopes	$3.50
Tassels	$2.50

Want to give your graduate a gift of money? Simply take an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of card stock and fold in thirds. Then punch out a rectangle shape on one end. Tape a vellum envelope under the cut out and insert with graduation confetti you've punched out. The eyelet and black ribbon adds a decorative touch.
