Hello Stampers!  It is Graduation season!  I have one niece who graduated from college this weekend, and a niece that will be graduating high school in the next couple of weeks!  So the CAS Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers, use a die cut, was perfect for these cards.  I love it when the die cut does the work for you as a focal image!  I simply added some embossing to the focal panel, and then added some strips of paper in their school colors.  After I adhered the graduates, I die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the front.  For the inside I added those same strips of card stock, and stamped a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm back to share a card using the Freshly Made Sketches, Sketch of the Week.  My mother-in-law requested a graduation card for a family member.  His school colors are red and black and he has a red truck.  This sketch helped me combine all of the components for this card.

For my card I started with the truck.  I stamped it, and die cut it.  Then I did some partial stamping using the balloons from the stamp set Driving By.  Next I colored in the truck and balloons.  I also added the ground using a stamp from the Trucking Along stamp set.  For the vertical piece I die cut the numbers.  Then I decided the die cut the red panel with the Rubbernecker cover die, so I could adhere the numbers and truck to the red layer.  To finish the front of the card I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a graduation card that I made for my nephew!  He went to school to be an electrician and he recently graduated!  We are so proud of him!!  For my card I chose blue because that was the color of his cap and gown.  For the cardfront I die cut it with the Spellbinders Starshine Background.  From there I made the focal point.  This set has a lot of pieces but it is so gosh darn cute!  Once I had it put together I adhered it to a wonky rectangle die that I picked up at a crafty rummage last weekend!  I felt like it still needed something so I popped up a sentiment.  For the inside I die cut the cap again and added a sentiment.  

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is graduation season!  My nephew is graduating high school next Friday.  To make the card I started with a black card base, then I die cut the quilted card front die in white card stock.  Staying with the stitched look I die cut a stitched circle in red.  I die cut and adhered the grad cap and diploma.  For the sentiment I stamped it and trimmed the sides with the triple banner punch.  Then I cut out a background to go behind the sentiment and punched the side with the triple banner punch.  I adhered the sentiment to the black strip.  Then punched out the opposite side with the triple banner punch to finish the sentiment.  For the inside I printed some clip art.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
