HAPPY GRAD

Hi Stampers, 

Today's card was created for my young friend Katie who was recently awarded her Bachelor of Science degree. Like yesterday's card, school colors were chosen, making this an easy card to give that personal touch.

Real Red + Basic Black = a classic color combination I never tire of.  The red card stock was texturized by running it through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice embossing folder.

The flower comes from the Mixed Bunch stamp set, punched out using the Blossom punch, and popped up with dimensionals.  To make the center, I used a 3/4" Circle Punch with a dimensional.  And a Rhinestone Jewel gives the card just the right amount of sparkle.

Both the Gingham Ribbon and the Happy Grad stamp are retired products, but could easily be swapped out.

Are you wondering how the 2 color stamping was done on the sentiment?  Our Stampin' Write markers make it easy as pie!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Stamping!

MAY means...

MAY means...

Hi Stampers!

Besides Mother's Day, mention "May" and someone is sure to think of graduations.  Below is a card that I did for our great niece who graduates from high school next week.

Inspired by one brought to me by my upline, Eloise Roys, for this one I chose Erin's school colors (I love how stamping my own cards enables me to personalize for the recipients!)

Here I used Night of Navy and Whisper White card stock with a Night of Navy brad.

The tassel was made with embroidery floss.

The inside was stamped in Night of Navy and Green Galore (retired) inks, using a stamp from the Sprinkled Expressions set from our 2012 Sale-a-bration catalog.

The scoring was a snap using the new Simply Scored and Diagonal Plate, both of which will carry over into the new catalog which goes live June 1.

Graduation Card

Hi Stampers!

Today's card is just so basic yet has such a WOW! factor.
Though I used a stamp set from the 2010 Occasions Mini catalog, the layout is easily adaptable. Personalize each card by changing it up to match your grad's school colors.

Even the flower is easy to make:  simply distress 4 punched flowers by crumpling each in your hand, smoothing out, then crumpling again multiple times until each flower is soft.  Stack them up; poke a hole in the middle; secure layers together using a brad.
