Here's to a Bright Future . . . Graduate!

Happy Monday, stampers!  This is a busy week for me, as my hubby and I are lay delegates to the District Conference for our church denomination.  I am super excited to see a LOT of dear friends and be a part of something larger than just myself.  So I will not be online for a few days - be sure to check my Online Store on Tuesday for the next lineup of Weekly DEALS!

I have another grad card for you today.  I used this card to announce my sons' college grad party - but I also made some with just a sentiment inside for an individual graduate.  Hope you like it!  Be sure to leave a comment if you have any questions or feedback!

The label was stamped with a retired label border stamp and diecut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits die.

The cardstock base was cut 4-1/4" x 11" and then I double scored so the top flap overlapped the narrow bottom flap.  I played with the fold on regular paper until I got it just the way I wanted it.

The background behind the images was created by inking up a clear block and stamping with just that!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Pure Gumption, The Open Sea, Creative Elements, Basic Label, Introducing
Ink:  Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Elegant Eggplant
Paper:  Naturals Ivory, Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla
Extras:  clear block, Apothecary Accents Framelits dies, brass brads, Dimensionals
Inspired by:  Dawn Olchefske

Saturday Morning Video: Create Watercolor Backgrounds

Good morning and welcome to Saturday Morning Cartoons Videos!  I love any technique that makes good use of my clear stamp blocks.  Learn how you can create a watercolor background using markers and your clear stamp block. Brian shows you just how simple it is.

Isn't that cool?  I just love that technique, and what an easy way to make up a bunch of note cards! You can find clear blocks HERE in my store, and note cards HERE in my store.

Lookin' Fine . . . in that Grad Cap!

Well, graduation is in the air!  The college grads at the school where I work have their reception tonight and their commencement tomorrow.  It's so hard to believe graduation time has come!  The years go by much too quickly.  Today I want to share a card with you that I made at a DOstamping card class.  You can find all the directions on Dawn's blog - it was surprisingly easy to make!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
