So cash is really the traditional gift for a grad – but I get bored giving it in the same old traditional way. So why not dress it up and present it in style! Today's project is an adorable mini folder with a Ghirardelli Chocolate inside and some cash. This is just one of the fun projects that we made at my Graduation Gift Cards and Goodies class. Scroll down for the video tutorial and the full supply list!
I typed up this saying on my computer and printed it out on card stock, then I punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch.
Inside our cute little mini file folder, the mint and a folded up bill fit perfectly! How fun to hand this to your favorite grad when you walk in to their party! The mini file folder project was created by demonstrator Jini Merck. You can see Jini's version here.
Our adorable grad owl is wearing spectacles and a graduation cap! Below is the video tutorial.
The first section is on how to make the mini file folder using the Envelope Punch Board. The second section I show how to make the darling little mortarboard and the spectacle wearing owl!
