My tutorial is for the Graduation Box that I made for my son's graduation cards. I posted it a week or so back.

I made a card box for my son's graduation. I used 2 priority boxes and put the one over the other. (make sure that you save these boxes to use for mailing at a later date)
Then I used blue painters tape to tape the boxes together and to go along the outer edges because its just a touch bigger than 12 x 12, this makes a nice border for your papers.
I gathered the graduation themed papers together and used my atg gun to adhere them on to the box sides.
Next I took some of my son's photos and put those on the box sides along with graduation elements. Cut a slit along the top large enough to fit most envelopes.
This was a simple project and will be useful for his party.

Please take a peek, and then head over to the next blog.
If you like a tutorial, please try it out and make your own creation. Post your entries by June 14, 7 pm eastern, to be entered to win.

Graduation Card Box

This is the graduation card box I made for my son Alex. My friend Vicki at http://vickiscreativecraftingcorner.blogspot.com made the card that says Alex on the side of the box. Isn't it fabulous? It will go in a memory book after the party but for now, I think its perfect for his card box. (thank you Vicki)
I took 2 USED flat rate boxes and taped them together and its the perfect size. I used the blue painters tape all around the corners, and used 12 x 12 papers to decorate the boxes. I used a few of his photos too. The thing at the top is a piece of mat board folded in half to top the box. There is a slit on top of the box to insert the cards. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

For my project I made a glitter clock for my son and his girlfriends prom photo. I used a plain black and white clock that I found at Walmart for $5.00 , glittered chipboard hearts and arrows, and a little bit of bling around the outside of the clock where the actual numbers are.

I dry embossed the paper to raise it up a bit, then applied blue sparkly glitter glue to each of the raised spots. This project couldn't get more glittered then this. LOL I hope his girlfriend likes it, its a little too sparkly for his taste.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. You should be going to http://www.tammyjennings.blogspot.com/ next.
