I told you yesterday that I would share the birthday card I made for my nephew. The idea came from
this card that Debbie made, and I thought it would be fun to use money instead. What kid doesn't like getting money for a birthday!? This was also my first time using washi tape. I recently picked some up and am having fun playing with it.
I put a piece of twine in the center of the money.
Then I rolled the money up as tight as I could, making sure I rolled all of them the same direction so the '5' would show, and then used washi tape to secure them.
I used some fun string to wrap around the candles, after I stuck them to some scotch tape.
My nephew was SO excited to get this card. He had those candles off and unwrapped in no time flat. I love when the recipient loves the gift as much as you hope they will.
PS: Come back later, I'll be posting about having the chance to go to
Doodlebug Design last night!! It was SO FUN!!
