Graduation Cards
>> Tuesday, May 8, 2018
Hi Everyone,
I'm in graduation card making mode right now and I have a couple of my most recent makes to share with you. Since they both have the same layout, I tried to be a little creative in the stamps that I used.
A new sentiment from DRS Designs is Let the Adventure Begin and instead of pairing it with a traditional graduation image on the front, I used the Hot Air Balloon. I colored up and fussy cut three of them, and attached them with dimensional foam tape to and embossed cloud background. The sentiment was heat embossed, although I don't think it shows up in the photo.
I carried the Hot Air Balloons inside along with the Successful Future Grad Greeting.
I couldn't resist making another card using the adorable Graduation Pig! He's definitely a new favorite of mine :)
I created some patterned paper using the Easy Dot Background and the Splatter Background stamp in green and yellow ink. I punched out 3 holes and framed them out in black, and stamped and colored up the pig three times. I added them behind the windows in fun positons, attaching the top one using a "Wobble". It's a plastic spiral that gives him dimension, so it looks like he's bursting out. And if you flick him with your finger, he moves back and forth.
I finished up the card using the perfect sentiment, Go Hog Wild!

These are fab grad cards, Karin! LOVE those hot air balloon & your inside greeting is perfect w/ the outside one. Hmm..I don't think I have that one & I thought I had almost all of them. Your piggies are so fun & they look like they're having a blast.
2 absolutely wonderful cards Karin! Love the balloon card with the embossed background and the red, white and blue theme - all 3 stamps are a perfect match! Your piggy card is simply ADORABLE! Love how enthusiastic is :) Can't wait to see him dance!!
