Artiste Graduation Card


koreen card1-650
Hello Crafty Friends,

I want to share a card I made for my beloved newest Sister In Law. She just graduated with her Master’s Degree and we are SO VERY PROUD of HER!!! She is an amazing young woman with a super bright future ahead of her. My brother is a very blessed young man to have her and vice versa!

Here is the finished card. The finished size is 5 x 6.5.

Here is a close up of the “Blue Ribbon” I used the Bravo Stamp Inside one of the Circle Frames in Chocolate. I used a scallop punch to cut this out instead of the corresponding Cricut Cut. I then stamped the Zig Zag Ribbon Stamp in Lagoon. Instead of using the corresponding Cricut Cut, I used a Circle Punch. I didn’t want too many scalloped and zig zag edges competing.

Here is a close up of the decorative strip. I used the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set to create the edges and then the Grad cap and sentiment were from the same Kudos Stamp Set. I used some Cinnamon Stickles to decorate the butterflies as well as the Bravo.


I used the Following To Complete:

Cricut Artiste Cartridge Bundle  For the Rosette and the Ribbon Strips.

The Kudos Stamp Set (One of the 3 Stamp Sets Included in the Cricut Artiste Bundle).

To My Sister in Law Koreen; May the blessing of the Lord be upon you all the days of your life. May His goodness and mercy follow you and over take you in all that you do! Glory to God in the highest for His faithful love to you and Joey!!!!

Thank you so much for taking a moment to stop by and allow me to share. May you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Good morning crafty friends,
It's another Wonderful Wednesday at MyPaperCrafting.com and that means another Craft With Cutters Challenge!  I am trying to make a more concerted effort to participate in our challenges! This week's challenge is all about "Winter Attire". We were tasked with making a project that reflects the many extra layers of clothing and extras to keep warm. Of course, I write this as I sit in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt here in Central Florida. It is CRAZY the warm weather we have been having here. We haven't even turned our furnace on once yet this season!!!!  Okay on to my project.
