Congrats Grad

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

The week is buzzing right along! Today is looking to be a very nice day with warm temps and low humidity. I am hoping to take advantage of this beautiful day with a good walk this evening! So today I am sharing a graduation card that I made recently for a friend. I pulled out all retired Stampin Up! products because that is all I own when it comes to this occasion. The school colors were black & gold.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sketch An Event (retired graduation cap), Great Grad (retired words on front), Northwoods Rubber Stamps (inside sentiment)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired), Crushed Curry, Versamark

Cardstock: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Basic White

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Tailor Made Tags Dies (retired), Basic Black & Crushed Curry Twine (retired), Black Sparkle Gems, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This turned out perfect for the occasion!

I don't make very many graduation cards because of the school colors and year they graduate. I usually wait until someone orders a card before I pull out my drawer of graduation stamps so nothing goes to waste. 

I enjoy making this one! Thanks, Shannon!!

Great Grad

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope your weekend was good!

Mother's Day sure was a nice day! 

Couldn't ask for a more beautiful day with lots of sunshine & blue skies! 

Today I have a graduation card to share that I made as part of Audrey's order last week. Her friend's granddaughter is graduating from Lancaster Bible College in Lancaster, PA.

The school's colors are red, white, black & silver.

I took strips of cardstock and silver foil paper and made the stripped layer attaching them to a small piece of Basic White cardstock that I covered with a small piece of Adhesive Sheet. My strips are not quite a 1/2 inch. I also used the retired Stitched Rectangle Framelits on this because they worked perfectly for my saying panels! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Great Grad (retired), Sketch An Event (retired graduation cap on cardbase)

Ink: Real Red, Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic Black, Basic White, Silver Foil Paper

Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Festive Pearls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I found the Great Grad stamp set at my local Goodwill a few months ago for $4.99. It was like new so I snagged it figuring graduation season was coming up. My card rack is really lacking graduation cards right now and sometimes it is hard to make them ahead of time because customers usually want them made in school colors.

Audrey was pleased with this one!
