Cap and Gown Repeat Post

 

 

 It's that time of year again! 

This is a repeat post but I noticed that the video was getting some views on YouTube and so I thought I would post it again since Graduations are happening all around the US this month! 

I made these cards when my oldest son was graduating from College last year and we had quite a few other family and friends graduating as well. 

These are easy to customize with different color tassels or caps to go with the various school colors that the grads may have.  

This one holds a gift card! Perfect for adding a check or cash too. 

Video for this card can be found on my YouTube Channel.

Gallery Blooms Center Pop-Out card

 

Hi Stamping Friends!  Today I want to share a fun fold card. This is a Center Panel Pop Out card.  It's a simple fun fold with just a few extra score lines and slits.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard to see what it looks like in a flat image like a photo so I have taken a couple at different angles. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The center panel seems to float above the card. 

The card doesn't open in the traditional way, so there is an added panel to the back for writing a greeting and signing your name. 

For this card I used the new Gallery Blooms stamp set and dies. The dies cut out all the stamped images, AND they also come with two sizes of frame cuts out and additional leaves and greenery dies.  

There is a whole suite of products for this set with designer series paper, an embossing folder and even another coordinating stamp set sentiments and more dies.   Be sure to check out the Beautiful Gallery Suite when the new Catalog goes live on May 6th. 

I loved the flower images for their use in coloring techniques.  Of course the first technique I had to do was watercoloring.  I embossed the image in Black Embossing Powder and then colored the flower with Peach Pie and Mossy Meadow ink.
