Congrats Graduation Card

Welcome friends. It's just about graduation time and I have a quick and easy card that would be easy to mass produce for those graduates in your life.  Just switch out the colors for whatever you need and you'll be good to go.

I started by die cutting a piece of white card stock using the largest die from the Wonky Stitches dies from Avery Elle.

I then stamped the image onto it using my Misti so I could stamp it a couple of times. This is from Paper Trey Ink's For the Graduate set. It's a set that I've had in my stash for several years but I still love it.

I then stamped the image that has 3 skinny lines together and then die cut the Congrats word die from MFT both out of navy card stock and silver glitter card stock.  I offset the die cut sentiments to add a bit of a shadow effect.

I mounted the entire panel onto a piece of navy card stock and adhered it to my top folding white card base.

Thanks as always for your visit.  Crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Class of 2016

Welcome friends. I'm so glad you stopped by today. I have a CAS graduation card that would be easy to mass produce -- I made 10 of these in just over an hour. My daughter had several friends who graduated this year and she needed some cards -- Mom to the rescue.  

I started by die cutting my white card panel with the stitched die. I then stamped my focal image and then the Class of image below that. The most time consuming part of this card and all 10 of them was adding the 2016 for the date. The numbers are so tiny and it wasn't something I could do with my Misti. 

All in all, I am super happy with how this turned out. Thanks for your visit and have a great day!

One lucky hopper will win 2 stamp sets and 1 die set from the Time For Tea line.  To enter the draw, simply leave a comment at EVERY stop along the hop!

Today we are excited to share the final set of stamps and dies from this release - TIME FOR TEA:

For my first card, I've got another card featuring School Spirit and it's matching die set.

I decided to make a graduation card to have on hand for next year. Gold and black do happen to be the colors of the high school I attended but I also thought they might work together for a more generic graduation card.

For my second card, I used the super fun Happy Everything set along with the Distressed Background & Ink Splats set to create this fun shaker card.

I'm entering my cards into the current challenge at Simon Says Stamp for anything goes.
