Graduation Gift Set - JUGS35

Hi girls,
Just a really quick post today cause I'm going to my niece's graduation. Gosh does that make me feel (shhhh) O-L-D!  I made her this simple little gift set with a card and a gift box filled with the "green stuff". This week's Just Us Girls challenge, hosted by Alicia, is to use DRY EMBOSSING.

Before I get started I want to extend a HUGE thank you to our guests this month...
LeAnne Pugliese did an AWESOME job as our Featured Designer for May and I was just totally tickled that the FABULOUS Teresa Kline was able to play along as a JUGS guest for us this month - Thanks to BOTH of you lovely and talented ladies!! *XO

Ok - on to today's challenge - I'll start with the card. The embossing is on the silver layer - used the new PTI polka dot impression plate to create that fun BG. The rest of the card is self explanatory in terms of details. It features the new PTI For the Graduate set.

Next up is the gift box I made. This is the Pucker Up template (at 70%) from My Time Made Easy and it was EASY!! I scored the Enchanted Evening CS for the template with my new MS scoring device for some texture - that's another form of dry embossing :-)

These are my niece's school's colors - I kept it simple but I know she'll love it. Used a few silver balls as embellishments on the gift box and the card. Love that I can make personalized "Class of" labels...

Here's a look at the inside - using other sentiments from the same PTI set... It is FABULOUS to have a Graduation set now! I love it even if I don't use it a lot, it's nice to have when the need is there.

Finally - a look at the whole set.

Sorry this is so short - I have a LONGGGGGGGG drive ahead of me - (like 7 hours) - Hope I like my audio book! Have a wonderful and safe weekend. Check out the rest of the JUGS team (sidebar) and PLEASE play along with us this week.  Thank you for your encouraging comments - they always make me smile!

Hugs n' smiles,
