Graduation in August....Masculine

 This is a card that I made for my daughter's boyfriend's graduation....I wanted to give him a handmade card, but I wasn't on the ball, so I gave this to him as he was leaving for college. The card stays together by sticking it beneath the circles on the left.........BELOW is the inside of the card.  I used the Top Note (one of my favorites) as the slot to hold his gift...$$$...but it will just as easily hold a gift card.   Tomorrow look for my feminine version of a graduation card!!

HELLO

Pleasant Poppies is a NEW large background stamp!  I LOVE IT!!! The poppies were stamped using black STAZON ink (it won't smear), blender pens and ink in your favorite colors!  I chose Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Real Red! A simple HELLO....sneaks out below the ribbons!  To place an order just click on my store or email me! Need a catalog....just shoot me an email....the cost is $5.00 or free with a $30.00 order.

DOUBLE TAKE

Just Beleve Stamp Set adds a beautiful silhouette to this card.  Below the same look is achieved with the My Friend Stamp set.  The sentiments come from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Sets.  The sunset is achieved by sponging Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red and Pretty in Pink Ink onto Whisper White paper!  A STUNNING affect!

Graduation Card....FEMININE version

 Here is the card that I made for my son's girlfriend's graduation!  Again...I wasn't on the ball and didn't get it made for graduation...so I gave it to her as a send off to college!  Below is the inside of the card.  I used our new FRAMELIT as the money holder...but...again...it will also hold a gift card!

Quint-Essential Flower

This single stamp...Quint-Essential Flower is only $8.95 and has SO MANY OPTIONS!!!! I stamped it in three of our new colors...Midnight Muse,  Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit...then punched it out with the Scallop Punches and Circle Punches...then layered them with dimensionals!  The background is Summer Starfruit cardstock ran through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder!!

BEAUTIFUL WINGS

This designer paper is retired, but I was making some cards to sell at a local art gallery for our local ART CRUISE...I wanted to show you what you can do with the Blossom Punch and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit!  You can use any of the many different designer papers that SU has to offer!  It is a simple yet lovely card that comes together quickly and easily!  To place an order just click on my store or email me!
