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

PIU Vet card 01

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This card is for a sweet young woman who just finished vet school!  So of course I had to corral some Karen Burniston animals to congratulate her 🙂  They are posing in front of the Barn Pop Stand. The card is 4 1/4 x 9 and will easily accommodate a check or gift card.

The idea is that all the animals have come to wish her well.  Check out the bandages on each one.

Looks like everyone is healing nicely!  Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

BYOP 03

This month’s Karen Burniston Designer challenge is to dressed up some characters!  I’m starting out with Poppy the Owl dressed up for graduation.  I just love how the Pop It Ups Gift Card Holder goes with Stampin Up’s B.Y.O.P stamp set.

BYOP 03 open

I chose a combo of red, white and blue to match one of our local high schools.  Working backwards – I’ll now have to find a matching gift card!  The border on the card comes with the Gift Card Holder die!  That’s easy 🙂

BYOP 03 detail

Poppy’s graduation cap is a small square with a Basic Black Candy dot in the center.  The tassel cord was cut free-hand and the the red tassel is a small piece of Real Red with some slits cut into it, rolled up.  The diploma is a scrap of Whisper White, rolled and tied with Baker’s Twine.

To make the star, punch 3 star.  Hold 2 of them together and cut a sliver out of the center of both at the same time.  Remove the center and alternate the colors.

Hope over to Karen’s Facebook page to see the other characters decked out in their finest!  Hugs, Fran
