Graduation Time already!

Yes graduation time is upon us!!! Last year we had my daughters college and my niece's high school graduation bash!
This year my stepson Zachary is graduating from high school.
I made him this card using the school colors of purple, gold and black.
Hard to see with the black on black paper, but the 2nd layer of black paper is embossed with the square lattice embossing folder.  Layered over that are purple, black and then yellow pieces of card stock cut with the Framelits labels collection.  Dimensionals were used under the black embossed paper and the congratulations to make the card 3 dimensional.  The congratulations was stamped on whisper white paper and cut with the bitty banner framelits.
Big week ahead of us! Graduation on Thursday and the party on Saturday!
I will take pictures of the party directions to inspire you for your next party!!!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend!  Have a great week too!
Be inspired to create!

A Simple Card for Graduation And Stampin' up Fun!

Hi!  I hope you are having a good week!  I am having a busy one, but I do see some free evenings in my near future!  That means I can get back to the gym and back to my crafting!!!

I am very excited about crafting these days for 2 reasons.

Reason #1 -- I am going to my first Stampin' Up group quarterly workshop this Saturday!  I will be swapping cards with 33 other demonstrators!  I can't wait to see what all these creative people have come up with!  In addition, we will be learning some new techniques and making some projects with new tools!!!  I already feel inspired! 

Reason #2 -- I am going to the Stampin' Up convention next month in Salt Lake City with my crafting buddies Julia, Judy and Dawn!  It is going to be so much fun!!! I am sure I will be blogging all about it when I get back!  I hope to share so many new creations after these 2 great events!!!!

Using a couple of new tools I made this monochromatic Congratulations card for a grad.

I used the vintage wallpaper embossing folder, the new Elegant Butterfly punch and the Bitty Banner stamp set to put this easy card together. 

Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!  Be back soon!
