Graduation Case

Today's cards were cased from some great grad cards that Debbie Olson posted on her blog last year. I didn't have the PTI Alpha Blocks set that she used so I pulled out my 1 inch punch and punched out some black cardstock then I used my Olivia cuttlebug dies to make the white cardstock numbers and adhered them to the black squares.

I had so much fun with the design that I put together a couple of cards. I should be set now for the graduation season. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a terrific Thursday. Happy Stamping!

So Proud

Yesterday I shared one of the graduation cards I made and today I have two more that I put together. I used the grad cap from Papertrey Ink's For the Graduate set, the "so incredibly proud of you" is a partially inked sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Big & Bold Wishes set, and the GRAD is from AMuse Studio's retired Fancy Alphabet set.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. Happy Stamping!

Graduation

I had a request from a friend for a graduation card so I put together a couple of cards for her to pick from. For this card I used a sentiment from AMuse Studio and the cap from Papertrey Ink. I like the simplicity of this one. I'll be back tomorrow with more grad cards to share.

Thanks so much for stopping. Happy Stamping!

Graduation Party

My nephews graduation party is this afternoon and I said I would bring bars but I didn't get to them until this morning. So far, I have one pan cooling on the counter and a second pan in the oven. Next up is lemon bars but I thought I would take a break and work on my blog post first since the party isn't until 2.

In honor of Aaron's graduation, I thought I would post a couple more graduation cards that I made. The cap on the first card is from the congradulations set by A Muse Studio and the rest of the stamps are from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping. Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. Happy Stamping!

Commencement Tonight

In honor of my nephew's high school commencement tonight I thought I would share a couple of graduation cards. These were made using the Congraduations stamp set, ink, cardstock and Nestabilities dies from A Muse Studio. The designer papers are from My Mind's Eye.

Just a reminder, I'm selling A Muse Studio products so if you're interested in the supplies I used today they're available in my webstore. Thanks for stopping. I hope you're having a wonderful day. Happy Stamping!

Grad cards

In honor of the season, here are a couple of quick graduation cards I put together the other day.

Congratulations to all of the graduates out there!

What a week

Last week was rather busy with commencement ceremony's, grad party preparations and work deadlines.

My nephew graduated from High School this year and his commencement ceremony was last Tuesday evening.



My niece (his cousin) also graduated from High School this year and her commencement ceremony was on Wednesday evening. We were lucky enough to be able to attend both ceremony's. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of either one of them in full cap and gown. Eric couldn't get his gown off fast enough and Ashley felt the same about her cap. Oh well. I had a Thursday deadline for a big project at work and then took Friday off to bake for my nephews grad party on Saturday. It was a great week but didn't leave any time for stamping or blogging.

Here's the graduation card I made for my nephew.

As always, thanks for stopping by. I hope you're all safe during this crazy weather that has been happening around the country.

Wise Old Owl

I thought the owl stamp from the Inkadinkado set Birds Galore would be cute on a graduation card so I inked him in Colorbox dark brown chalk and stamped him on SU very vanilla. I outlined him with a brush and certainly celery reinker. The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye and the graduation stamp is from a retired SU set. I matted the layers with SU chocolate chip and mounted everything to a very vanilla base. I'm thinking about making him a little graduation hat to wear. What do you think?

Graduation Time

It's graduation time! I have a niece who is graduating from college this year and another niece and nephew who are graduating from high school. I decided I'd better get started on graduation cards!

These cards have white bases and double sided papers from a Martha Stewart collection. The graduation stamp is from PSX and I made the caps. I sat the other evening and put together 18 caps for use on cards. I drew the caps and mortarboards on bassill cardstock then cut them out. Next I threaded some embroidery floss through the center of the mortarboard pieces for the tassel and attached the mortarboard piece to the cap with a popdot.

A simple card that I think works great for female and male just by changing up the colors. Thanks so much for stopping by.
