Here’s a graduation idea using Blue Ribbon and Great Sport.  To make the ribbon embellishment,  I embossed the swirly image in Great Sport in white embossing powder on the 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 piece of Basic Black.  Then stamp the ribbon in Coastal Cabana and Summer Starfruit.  Punch the scallop circle part and cut out the banner ends.  Stamp the congratulations part on the banner ends in Basic Black and piece the ribbon back together.  Stamp the “Congrats Grads” in Versamark on Basic Black, punch out and adhere to the center with Dimensionals.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Blue Ribbon, Great Sport
Cardstock – Basic Black, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White, In Color DSP pack, Neutral DSP pack
Ink – Versamark, Coastal Cabana, Summer Starfruit, Basic Black
Etc – white embossing powder, 2 3/8 Scallop Circle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, Neutral Candy Dots

Of course this card would work best in the colors of the graduate’s school!  Hugs, Fran

I made this background paper in My Digital Studio – which was fun, but didn’t really work for this card.  It never occurred to me that the scale of the design would look different on from my laptop screen to the printed page, so it’s really large.  But I thought I’d share it anyway because I like the idea.  I took every graduation set I could find in MDS and made my background.  That’s it!  The “2013” is die cut with the Timeless Type Numbers.

On the inside I used Blue Ribbon and popped it on a Sizzix die (Circle & Ribbon 3-D Platform)  I’m not giving up and will try again – adjusting the scale of the background and maybe introducing another color.  What do you think?

Enjoy the weekend – stamp something!  Hugs, Fran

It’s a wild combo – Blue Ribbon, Dapper Dad, Best Dad Ever and the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts Base and Dress form insert!  On the front I used Dapper Dad.  The watch has a soda pop top that was smashed in my Big Shot and filled with the stamped dial and Crystal Effects. 

Doesn’t look like the dress form insert, does it?  I made a layered piece with Blue Ribbon and the Simple Numbers Bigz die.  To make the banner piece on the ribbon, I stamped off with Beyond Plaid and then stamped the ribbon on top of it.

Stamp and layer your image and attach it to the form!
