graduation season

It's graduation season again! An exciting time of the year as all the very lucky graduates await the beginning of the rest of their lives. I love making custom cards as gifts whenever I have the time. I think that makes them so much more personal and special. For graduations I create a handmade card using a folded bill to look like a graduation cap and add a cute little tassel in the color of the school they will be attending. Super cute. Personal. And made with love.

happy graduation

This is a really simple, fun idea that I make as graduation gifts. I make the graduation hat (folded like class notes we used to pass to friends in school, long before texting existed!) from paper money, could be $20, $50 or $100 bill. I create the tassel with embroidery thread of the university school colors of the graduate. And put it together with a tiny little brad. Then I package it in paper source petal envelopes. Too cute, and very personal.
