Week of 2/29/20 Cards

I have created my first DRS Design card featuring two graduation stamps. Since I need to get another 18 more graduation cards done for this year I am working on them in advance so I don't fall behind.

FS681 - the super talented featured stamper is Shelly Schmidt aka mcschmidty. I found this fantastic CARD.
I need to make 18 more graduation card as we have a bunch of my son's friends graduating this year. Shelly's terrific card was perfect for inspiration. The School colors are black and yellow so I used those colors on the card.

I used the DRS graduation hats and stamped them on the yellow strips. Alternating black and yellow I die cut the panel with a pierced rectangle to pick up the piercing on Shelly's card. I added the star emboss folder to the panel. Stamped the sentiment and popped on dimensionals on the yellow layer. Finished with a handmade tassel and some sequins.

Hats off to the Grad
