Number of Years 03

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s graduation time and I have a few to send out.  Karen Burniston’s Poppy the Owl seemed like the perfect character to grace a graduation card!  The numbers are the Stampin Up’s Number of Year stamp set with matching die.  One of my graduates had blue and white as their school colors.  I used the Schoolhouse Designer Series paper for this one.

Poppy’s cap is made from the bowler hat in Props 1.  Karen has a diagram on her blog showing how to cut it to make it a cap.  The hassle and diploma are hand cut.

Another graduate’s school colors are red and gray.  I simply copied the same design and changed up the colors.  These card are large – 4 1/4 x 9 – and will easily accommodate a check 🙂

Here he is in Smoky Slate.  He looks so smart!  The Number of Years set makes this a easy card to put together.  Hugs, Fran

Love You Sew 01

Isn’t this a great sentiment?  This is Love You Sew, a hostess set from the Occasions Mini.  I paired it with Number of Years and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper to make this card. I could give out lots of this card – even give one to myself!  Hugs, Fran

PIU Baker Beaver 01

Since I’ve turned 29 every year for quite a few years – this card is perfect!  Baker Beaver  and the Cake Pop Stand are a new dies for the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups dies.  Isn’t he cute?  Don’t you love the spatula?  That’s from the new Props 8.  It’s a full set of baking props. For the cake, I used just the largest cake layering piece and cut it down by 1/8″ for each layer. I’ve paired him with Stampin Up’s new Number of Years stamp set.  The sentiment “Look who’s turning” fits exactly on Karen’s new Pull Card Edges.  Baker and his cake are on an action wobble.  The paper is the very fun It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Mini and the balloons are the new Balloon Bouquet Punch.

Number of Years 01

This card is my version of the one shown on page 10 of the Occasion Mini using Number of Years.  I thought I’d share how I made it so you can use my measurements.

Start with a 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White.

Stamp the Happy Birthday in Archival Black towards the bottom.

Stamp the stem above it in Mossy Meadow.  Line up the flowers and stamp in Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Pool Party.  (The sample in the catalog might very well be Mint Maccaron – but I used Pool Party)

Stamp the grassy/swipe image in Old Olive only inking up one time so it fades out towards the bottom.

Flip this piece over and attach some Old Olive Bakers Twine to the back.  Adhere to a Whisper White notecard using Dimensionals

Use the fine tip glue pen to adhere 3 sequins to the front of the card.

Let me know if you make it 🙂  Hugs, Fran
