Hi there!

It's a struggle to make graduation cards I've discovered, this is my second attempt with these. Today I brought out the Dress embossing folder from X-cut to create a pretty backdrop for the sentiment/image stamp from Rox Stamps.

I cut out some leaves using the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die and sponged them as well as the embossed panel with Distress inks. Next, I stamped the balloons from My Favourite Things Beary Special Birthday set, colored them up with my Copics, added Glossy Accents and then cut out by hand. For the congrats, I used a Rox Stamps die and black foam for dimension. I added the balloons and the sentiment/image with foam adhesive. I finished by adding a Craft Emotions bow die-cut.

Ok, I think that´s about it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hugs, Birgit

Hello there!

Today I have a graduation card to show you. I have not had a reason to do anything like this before, so this is my first. A challenging project I have to say.

 For the background I used Mama Elephant - Freestyle Florals stamp set and I colored them up with my Copics. It turned out to be a wonderful background to the front panel, I think. And to the panel was one Lawn Fawn - Outside In Stitched Scalloped Rectangles Stackables die used. The stamped candlelights is from STAMPlorations - Party Mates stamp set and also colored with Copics. I stamped the sentiments from Gummiapan and K-designs underneath, and embossed one of them in gold. I finished my card by adding a few gold sequins a piece of ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Birgit
