2012 Graduation

With graduation upon us, I realized that I never posted this 2012 graduation card.  This was the only one that I had to make last year and it turned into festive Red White and Blue one.   Well, the high school's colors are red and blue so, where can you go from there?   The mat paper on this one is from Basic Grey's PB&J collection.  Then I corner punched the corners with the EK Success corner punch, followed by the matching border punch on the right and left edges only since the card wasn't the right measurements to do it all around the mat.

The cut is from Hello Kitty Greetings & Salutations cartridge, cut at 3 1/2" and I stamped the '12 on the ribbon with some Martha Stewart number stamps.   The blue strip of red starts was using the same EK Success border punch and some of the punched stars used to decorate the paper as well.

The stamped sentiment on the from is from Hampton Arts and really was how this become so patriotic.  

I used another strip of punched paper as a border inside as well as a sentiment stamp from TPC Studio and the cap/tassel stamp from Stamps Happen

Carnival Signs - Desserts

For these carnival signs, I am just going to give the details under every one.  I used real raffle tickets and some curling ribbon to snazz them up and then put eyelets in the corner of each sign, to hang them.

All of the letters were cut at different sizes from the Country Life cartridge.

The cotton candy was cut from County Fair at 11" (the biggest on 12x12 paper) and then I covered it with fake spiderweb batting that I inked in the same color.   The paper for the 'cone' is from DCWV Carnival stack.

The cupcake was cut from Hello Kitty at 7" and the paper was from DCWV Celebrations

The snow cone was hand made with DCWV Celebrations paper and then a circle cut in half and then glittered with aqua glitter.   

The Popcorn is from the County Fair cartridge at 5"

Teacher Appreciation Card

This is my last post for Teacher stuff.   The school year is now over.  :(  This was my greeting card that I gave to my son's teacher with a small gift card, on the last day of teacher appreciation week.  

I used the same DCWV Stack 6 paper that I had used in making the drink carrier and then some number border tape from Vintage Street Market, taped onto a solid red strip and added vertically.   The books and apple are one cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings and Salutations cartridge, cut at 3 1/2" , with the layers.

I hand cut the frame that I stamped with a sentiment form Stamps Happen 'School Days' set.

On the inside, I added more Vintage Street Market border tape and an Inkadinkado sentiment.
