A Graduation Card with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you all are having a FABULOUS weekend!!

Today it is my turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. I created a card mixing up the new "Celebrate" stamp set with "Shenanigans" and "Rad 2."

I am kind of obsessed with mixing sentiment sets as of late. Since I will be actually giving this card away, I used a series of blues with accents of silver since the colors of the school are blue and white.

First I used "Rad 2" and stamped the first line in blue ink. I then die cut some silver stars using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-dies," measuring their size to leave a space to stamp the "Celebrate" sentiment in light blue. I then covered the light blue sentiment with sparkle pen.

I adhered the silver stars in a line underneath the "congrats" and the "celebrate" sentiments. I then adhered the panel to an A2 card front covered in some patterned paper.

To complete the card, I added a sentiment strip that I had stamped using the "Shenanigans" stamp set. I used foam adhesive to pop it up from the card front.

A Graduation Card

Happy Monday!! My FIRST real day of vacation!! I have a few goals this summer. One is to do some cleaning and purging. Charlotte does not have a job so she is going to help me. She is not too excited but beggars cannot be choosers.

I have slowly been cleaning up my craft room. It is slow going as I am a pack rat and NOT good at getting rid of things. I put them in the "to go" pile and then take them out of it days later. I am running out of room and all the "extras" wind up in a pile on my desk.

Today I am posting a card I created for one of my students that graduated this past Friday. As a rule, I don't always give kids a card because I would have to make too many. However, this boy was one of the HARDEST workers that I have ever meant. He has processing issues and he never gave up.

This card was probably one of the fastest I have ever made. I used CAS-ual Fridays "Bravo" and "Rad 2" stamp sets for the sentiments. The hat was from the "For the Graduate" set from PaperTrey Ink.

I added some clear Spectrum Noir Glitter Marker over the hat and covered it with Glossy Accents. I also made three score lines below the sentiments but you cannot see them in the photos.

The last step was to add a few sequins. The student asked me if the card was home made and told me he loved it!! I also added a GC to Ben and Jerry's inside.

That is all from me today. I hope your day is FABULOUS!!
