Owl Graduate Card

Hello crafty friends,

Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. Today I am sharing the last of my school, graduation cards. Here is what I came up with.

Here’s a look at the completed card. I used the card basics stars-dots cut file set and the Owl graduate digital printable from PaperCraftingWorld.com. I used some papers from the DCWV Stack 7 stack. I started with a kraft cardstock base. the red paper is also a patterned paper from the same stack. I used some more craft paper to cut the dots mat.

Here’s a closer look at the stamped sentiment. It is from the stamp of the month from last month’s set. I used my Cranberry Ink Pad.

Here is a closer look at the Owl graduate digital printable. You can see that I used some Crystal Blue ink around the edges of the image.

Here is a closer look at the stars. I added some clear gems to give them a little extra pizazz. I also used some foam tape to give them some lift.

Here is a closer look at the top stars.

Here’s a closer look at the bow. I used some thin ribbon and added a sequin. I didn’t have a gold colored sequin so I used my shin han marker to give it some color. This card was quick and easily made.

Don’t forget that PaperCraftingWorld.com currently has some great school and graduate related cut files and digital printables on sale. PLUS use the PCW50 code with a $5 dollar minimum purchase and you can get an ADDITIONAL 50% off!!

Trophy Shaped Cards With Print N’ Cut Images

Hello crafty friends,

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Today I am sharing another set of fun cards that are perfect for giving your top star students to celebrate their scholastic achievements for the year. Everyone loves shaped cards, so I thought a trophy shape would be great! I made a “boy” version and a “girl” version.

Here is the boy version. I used some fun printed paper from the DCWV Edumacation stack. I cut the shape out in a gold colored cardstock. I then cut the stop from the DCWV paper.

Here’s a closer look at the blue ribbon. I used my Big Top stamp set and my black ink pad for the You’re the Tops sentiment. You can also see the gold stars up close. I inked their edges with some Golden Terracotta ink. I also used some Golden Rod Stickles for the centers.

Here’s a look at the card opened.

Here’s a closer look at the Great job banner. I used some white cardstock and then stamped it with some black ink. I then colored the letters in with my various Shin Han Markers.

Here’s a closer look at the base. I used some brown cardstock and my wood embossing folder to add some texture to it.

Here’s a view of the girl version. I used all the same supplies except I used the cute little girl QT Patootie with Award Digital Printable set. I used my Pazzles inspiration Vue for with my printer and did the print n’ cut feature. I did add a touch of diamond stickles to her tennis shoe laces.

Here’s just a closer look at the cute little print n’ cut cutie.

Grad Bear Card

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing another fun card I created for graduation. This one is for my niece who recently “graduated” from middle school (8th grade).

Here is a look at my completed card. I started with a base of black cardstock and the size of 5 x 6.5. I then used a piece of white cardstock and then used my flight of the arrows background stamp. I stamped it in a slight diagonal and used my blue lagoon ink pad.

I then used my Great Job stamp set and stamped it using my blue lagoon stamp pad. I then used the same stamp set and my White Daisy ink pad and stamped the fun starburst stamp onto some black cardstock. I then used my White Chalk marker and my Gold marker to coloring some of the larger stars. I also used my white ink pad and a sponge to brush onto the edges of the cardstock. I also used my White Chalk marker to add in some dots. I also used some of the clear sparkle gems to add a little sparkle.

I then used the cute little Graduation bear and print and cut it out. I used some foam tape to give the little bear as well as the great job label some lift.
