GRADUATION CARD CASED

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another graduation card to share with you.  This one I totally cased from my upline, Dawn Griffiths.  Thanks Dawnie!!  I did change the colors up a bit by adding our NEW Tip Top Taupe In Color starting NEXT WEEK IN THE NEW CATALOG.

 First:  So sorry for the poor lighting and the shadows it created.  We have been so rainy here in Texas that I can't get a good photo to save my life!!

 Here is the card opened up so you can see the inside.  It uses the same photopolymer set I used on my last grad card - BRAVO.

I used the brushed gold cardstock that is retiring for the star in the word YOU on the front.  I also used red and green markers to color in the LA in the word on the front.  That is because Kade's school colors are  Red and Green and I wanted to add a little bit of that for the school spirit!!

Hope you enjoyed my banner card for graduation.  Thanks again, Dawn G. for the idea.

Remember to use Hostess Code:  SKHWXU2J  when ordering so you have a chance of winning the hostess dollars to spend this month.

Thanks for visiting.  I am entering this in the TRY STAMPIN' ON TUESDAY sketch challenge.

HUGS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY card for you this week.  All the wrapping paper has been collected and put into the trash and the boxes are in the recycle pile.  Now get a cup of hot cocoa and take a look at my beautiful turquoise and black card for this week.  First, here is this week's sketch:

A very simple sketch that is easy and perfect to use for almost any card!!  Here is what I created with it:

I absolutely LOVE the combo of turquoise and black together.  I think it is a crisp and clean combo.  I used some circles and the pansy punch, then some banners and the sentiment is a HUGS die.

Here is a closeup of the main part of my card.  I used some stitching around the circles for added interest.  And I added a thin black boarder along one edge of the black and white dsp.  It is from the current SU catalog, but I am sorry I don't remember the name.  I think it is back to black, but I could be wrong.

I really love how my card came out.  I like the little pop of yellow in the center of the pansy.  And the surprise on how the turquoise circle behind the black only goes half way.  Just a little bit of interest to keep your eye busy.

Thanks for stopping by.  Time for YOU to now make a card and upload it to SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.  You have all week to come up with your creation.  We would LOVE to see what you create so please share with us.

I also entered this card at PAPER CRAFT CREW CHALLENGE.
