Graduation Thank You

Hi! Today I have the thank you cards I made for my daughter to thank those who celebrated her graduation from High School.

Graduation, Thank You, Beautiful You, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I am pretty happy with how they turned out. The girl is stamped from the Beautiful You stamp set (and I feel is fitting since my daughter is also a dancer). The dress is colored with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends markers. The legs and arms with the Ivory Stampin’ Blends marker.

The graduation cap is made from Cherry Cobbler card stock. A little bit of Crushed Curry baker’s twine is used to make the tassle and that is attached using a brad.

The sentiment is from the A Big Thank You stamp set. As I was making quite a few of these, I used the Stamparatus to stamp the girl and the sentiment. It makes mass producing a breeze.

The card is finished with a piece of retired Design Series Paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper stack.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Today I am playing along in Kylie’s International Project Highlights! I haven’t had a chance to play along the past few months – so am happy to be back today! Our theme this month is Friendship! I’d love your vote for my card! Hop over here and click the heart on my card to vote for i!

Here is my card:

Friendship, Sand Dollars, Sea of Texture, Thoughtful Banners, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #internationalprojecthighlights

I just LOVE the Sea of Textures suite! From the fun and quirky to the soft and subtle, this suite has it all! I did a little watercoloring for the background as well as splattering with a marker. The sand dollars and coral are die cuts from the coordinating framelits. My sentiment is formed using words from the Thoughtful banners set.

Here is a video showcasing this card:

In the Sea

Hi! Today I have a card showcasing the Tranquil Textures Suite in the new catalog! The Sea of Textures Stamp set and dies are so fun to play with!

Thanks, Octopus, Sea of Textures, Stampin' Up!, SU!, 2018AnnualCatalog

I demonstrated this card on Tuesday with Teresa Facebook Live yesterday. I love all the different elements on this card along with the color combination! The three main colors are Fresh Fig, Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

The base of the card is Mint Macaron. A piece of Designer Series Paper from the Tranquil Textures pack is mounted on that at a skewed angle.

A Watercolor Wash technique using the three colors was applied to a piece of Watercolor Paper. The net behind the octopus is die cut with the coordinating dies from Crumb Cake card stock. The octopus is Fresh Fig which is first stamped on scrap paper, then on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. He is die cut using the coordinating die. The sentiment is stamped in Tranquil Tide ink. The octopus is attached using dimensionals.

The finishing touch is thick Baker’s Twine using the Nature’s Twine collection.

Here’s the video – it is the second card:
