Die Cut Graduation Card

Happy Saturday,

Today, I have a graduation card I made for a friend at work.  She needed a card for a friend receiving her white coat.  A challenging request, but I found this die which I could make into a white coat shaker card.   

A pretty simple card, die cut the black cardstock and mounted it on acetate.  Then outlined the coat with raised foam tape added some sequins to the middle and capped with white cardstock to created the shaker card.  

Made a second card with more layers and less sequins.

My co-worker need 4 wedding cards too, so those cards will be featured in the next couple posts.

Today, I have a birthday card using My Favorite Things "It's a Mice Time to Celebrate".  I made a couple versions varying the color of the mice, present and cardstock.  

This is a cute set, love the dancing mice, which were colored with Copic markers.  I added some stitching as a border and some sequins to make it a party scene.

Simon Says Stamp - Wild Beauty Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Last weekend, I taught a class for a women's event 

through church.  It was a fun get together to share our

hobbies and talents.  

This is one of 2 cards I made

for the event and the ladies had the opportunity to 

make one of each card.

This card uses a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, 

called Wild Beauty and the sentiment is from a set called 'Happy'.

Step 1 - Stamp the sentiment and flower outlines in black.

Step 2 - Stamp the flowers in Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice

and Spring Rain.

Step 3 - The 3 stems were drawn with a black multi-liner pen 

and white centers were added to the left and middle flower 

with white gel pen.

Step 4 - Sequin detail was added to the base of the flowers.

It turned out to be a fun card to introduce the ladies

to 2-step stamping, especially since some had never stamped before.  

The clear stamps really made it easy for beginners.  

It was a fun project and night of crafts and learning.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp Sets: Wild Beauty and Happy

Ink: PTI Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice, Spring Rain and True Black

PaperTrey Ink Cardstock: Hawaiian Shores, White

Lil Inkers Design Die: Stitched rectangles

Copic .8 mm Black multiliner pen

White Sakura Gelly Roll pen
