Using the DRS Designs Graduation sentiment I stamped it on white paper and then die cut it with the scroll. Sponged the edge and used a copic marker along the die cut scroll edge.
The base layer is embossed and then I used the DRS Designs Graduation cap and colored it with copics. Finished the card off with punched stars and sequins.
Graduation...It's the Beginning
USEIT2020 - die cut flowers
I used 2 different greens to create the ombre color on the masked panel. Then I grabbed my tote of die cuts I am trying to use up and found this great die cut flower. Popped it up on dimensionals, added the sentiment and finished with different green gems.
Birthday Flowers
Stamped the alphabet BG stamp and then stamped the flower image over it and colored with copics. Die cut the hearts and popped the image on dimensionals.
Cut the layers and stamped the sentiment. The lace layer was embossed then fussy cut around the scallops. Finished with ribbon.
Thinking of You
USEIT2020 - Carolers
Going through my tote of stuff I am trying to use up I found these carolers that needed to be put on a card. The WTUI challenge was perfect inspiration to get me to use them.
The carolers were white and I added black acrylic paint to them for the card.
I die cut the fence and punched several red flowers. Popped the frame on dimensionals and put the carolers on dimensionals.
Glued the fence and added the ref poinsettias to the fence. Finished with Nuvo Drops.
Christmas Carol
USEIT2020 - Stickers
The senior class of 2020 will not be having a prom or graduation this year. In our county a resident decided to start up a FB group to honor seniors and have people "adopt" them. We are going to start mailing cards, gift cards, letters and just pour on the love to them. Well I grabbed a super special senior from my son's school. In our marching band he was the kid that made the show for me. He is one of my son's dearest friends and if you look up the Avon Marching band grand national competition from 2019 he is the sax player that puts his horn down in the middle of the show and starts doing back flips. I just admire this kid so much. This will be my first card to him.
Cut the layers, grabbed the music die cut from memory box and glued down to the brick emboss white. Die cut the circles and used stickers to embellish.
Marching Band
I am sure most of you are wondering why I am calling the class of 2020 True Heroes...Well they are in my eyes.
Many will not have a graduation ceremony. Some are going straight from class to the field. They are doctors, nurses, military, and many other front line workers already in the groceries working their way through classes and still out there working. I salute all of them with these cards.
I am trying to build as many graduation cards as I can so that I can help celebrate these great individuals that are moving on in their next phase of life.
Quick cards, cut the banners, embossed the base layer, die cut the graduates and die cut the numbers.
Please if you know of a senior graduating this year consider dropping them a note, card or a message to congratulate them. Many are missing out this year and need to know that they should be celebrated.

USEIT2020 - Heartfelt Creations card kit
I am trying to use up my Heartfelt Creations card kits as they no longer sell them and they are taking up space in my craft room. When I saw today's MIX challenge I knew this sentiment was perfect for the challenge.
For us when we take vacations we usually meet up with family and friends. We are missing so many of them.
This kit came stamped and cut. I colored the images and sponged the layers and glued down. Finished off with some stickles.
Let's Hang Out
USEIT2020 - Die cut World
When I saw the Pintrist tag I remembered I had 2 of these die cut world dies in my tote of items to use up. I am working on creating as many graduation cards as I can for this year's seniors and I thought those world dies would be perfect for some grad cards.
Cut the layers, die cut the diploma and stamped the sentiment. Sponged the edge of the diploma and finished off with some stickers.
Class of 2020
All of your cards this week are beautiful. I like that you are taking the time to honor seniors. It is sad to think that they will not have the senior prom pics or the graduation ceremony to remember. Their memories will include a very unique and tragic time. Maybe there will be something put in place at a later date. Of course none of us know how long this pandemic will last. Getting back to your cards...
ReplyDeleteI love all of the die cuts you used this week. The musical ones and all of the flowers add such a delicate feel to your cards this week. I like all of them. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and strong. I need to stop writing chapters. LOL!
Thank you Aracelli. I am on a senior facebook group for our county and we are doing drive by dropping off fun goodies trying to let our seniors know how special they are to us. So I am quickly making cards to honor them hoping to bring a smile.
DeleteI hope you are staying safe and healthy.
