Graduation Card using Word Play and The Open Sea

The stamp set Word Play is one of my favs from the big catalog because it has so many sentiments that work for a wide variety of occasions and is wonderful for scrapbooking! I also used a stamp set The Open Sea from the upcoming Summer Mini which will be available May 1st. I embossed the gray. This card can be easily changed to suit any graduation colors by changing the ribbon. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Greeting Card Kids Teacher Retirement Card

The Greeting Card Kids stamp set is absolutely one of my favorites from the big catalog. I just love the kids! I used it for a teacher retirement card. Also used the Smarty Pants stamp set, Love Note Designer Series Paper, Scallop Border Punch, blender pens, real red, more mustard, basic black, basic grey, early espresso inks, Stampin' Up buttons and our wonderful crochet trim ribbon. Enjoy!

Sneak Peak - Flower Garden embossing folder

I did a little experimenting last night with some new upcoming products from the Summer Mini catalog which starts May 1st. I used the Flower Garden textured embossing folder on white cardstock and then sponged the flowers on the first card. On the second card I used markers to color the flowers. I embossed first...so the flowers were white...then added my color to them. On both cards I used the new triple layer punches for my borders. The first card uses the doily punch and the second one uses the blossom bouquet punch. The sentiment is from the new Fabulous Florets stamp set. Enjoy and keep watching for more sneak peaks soon!

Summer Mini Sneak Peak - Triple Layer Punches

Here are three cards made with new upcoming products from Stampin' Up. The new triple layer punches look to be very popular. They are so simple to use, simply move the easy to use front lever to the image you'd like and punch! Three images in one body saves space! One punch is a makes 3 flower shapes, the other one makes doily shapes. I also used the Bold Blossom stamp set which is featured in the Occasions Min and will be carried over to the Summer Mini. The new paper Beyond the Garden was used along with the new Flower Garden textured embossing folder. The sentiments come from the new stamp set Happy Greetings. I also used the itty bitty punch pack and glimmer brads and pearls. Can't wait for the Summer Mini release May 1st. Enjoy! ( P.S. The turquoise polka dot blue paper comes from the brights patterns designer series pack from the big catalog.)

I decided it was time to come up with some ideas for graduation cards. Here is a fun simple card made with the owl, star and decorative label punch. The star and background are embossed with the square lattice folder. I used our wonderful striped ribbon and a new stamp from the new upcoming stamp set, "Happy Greetings" which will be available in the new Summer Mini Catalog May 1st. Enjoy!
