I am Heather McCanna on behalf of expertvillage.com and today I will be showing you some card making basics. In this segment I will be showing you how to decorate the money card that we already made. This card I already put congrats grad which is a message that is going to fit the recipient as there graduating and wanted to give them a small money gift. When you open the inside you are also going to want to put a message where you put the money. Make sure before you start decorating that you have taking out the money they already make sure fit into to slits we made earlier cause you don't want to mark on that or ruin the money. It is also important that you keep in mind the money would be coving most of the inner section of the card. You don't want to be writing any kinds of messages were the money would be laying. So we are going to put our message over here on the right side you can put it on other flap as long as it is a nice personal message. In this one I'm going to simply put congratulation on your graduation. It is a basic message but it fits the needs of our recipient. It is also nice whenever you are making a card that you do it in handwriting as that make the card more personal. It is also important that you keep your handwriting as organize as possible and if you are not able to do handwriting without putting down some kinds of lines go ahead and use a ruler to keep your handwriting straight or you can even use a stencil which I also have. Here I've writing a nice graduation message and afterwards you can sign it with your own signature and put the money back into the slits that we made before closing up the card and giving it to your recipient.
