Graduation... again?

GRADUATION....

...again???? Well, when I get inspired, I just ride the wave...

Two words were blinking in my mind: Graduation and Simple... Below is the result. 

Two very simple graduation cards, made in mere minutes...

-248-

I used one of those $1 stamp set in metallic ink on black card-stock.

I doodled the path of the soaring cape with a black marker.

I also stamped the same cap stamp in black ink under, on the white card-stock and use a metallic gold Pentel to highlight the tassel.

The black cap was propped with a dimensional.

Until next time...

Love

Love.

Another simple card: I run the white card stock in a cuttlebug embossing folder, added a red punched heart and a "love" sticker.

Until next time.

Thank you with Bouquet

THANK YOU...
... with a bouquet.

Here comes a simple one, but still pretty unique.
I made those thank you cards at the request of one of my customer, she wanted classy but simple.

The flowers are first printed on white card stock and then cut out, leaving a white border. i used a Martha Stewart flower stamps set as well as for the stem of the bouquet.

I then glued a little bow made out of cotton twine.

The sentiment was printed beforehand.

Until next time....

Thank you Card Silver

Thank you Card Silver.

With the same idea than the Congratulations card on the post #201, I made a thank you card.

I stamped a double row of mini flowers on the white linen and color their center with my copic marker.

I also stamped a sentiment from the Thanks a Bunch set from Sparkle'n Sprinkle.

I punched a circle on a piece of silver card stock 1/4 to 1/2 inch smaller and tied a ribbon and a piece of cotton twine on top.

Until next time.

Sympathy

SYMPATHY...

It is always hard to find the words to help alleviate the pain of somebody who just loss a love one.

Maybe a simple card is worth a thousand words.

I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the tree. The silver card stock is from paperandmore.com.

The butterfly is made out of silver card stock with a Martha Stewart punch.

I printed the sentiment and cut it out with a Lifestyle crafts party flags die cuts.

I also added a very slim white ribbon bow on the flag and a silvery ribbon at the bottom.

Until next time.

Congratulations

Congratulations

The sentiment was printed beforehand, on a white linen card stock, and I added a top piece of card stock with a punched opening.

Below are two versions of the same card, with different top card stock.

I also stamped two little flowers top and bottom of the sentiment and added some sprinkle at the center.

A Martha Stewart wide silver ribbon and a very slim white ribbon finish the card nicely.

Until next time.

Simplicity

Simplicity.

Because I never have enough of those little cards for a quick note...

I used the flower in the Thanks a Bunch set from Sparkle'n Sprinkle and colored it with my copic markers.

Paired with a Tiffany blue envelope, it looked very beautiful!

The rounded corners finish the card nicely.

Until next time.

HO HO HO

HO HO HO

I was redoing a wall of picture frames in my living room and my mind was still thinking Holidays Cards. This is how I came up with these two cards.

HO HO HO: 3 H, 3 O, and the perfect font. I cut out the letters with a square punch and matted the little frames first in silver then in black, and anchored them with a bow punched with a Martha Stewart punch: don't they look like little frames on a wall?

I took it one step further.

I was browsing fonst like I always do, and found one called Santa time:

-160- 

Now, look closely:

Yep, the letters are made of little Santas holding each other... well, I think the one in the "H" is pretty drunk, if you want my opinion.

You got to love those fonts!

Until next time.
