Happy Graduation Friend

I have already gotten graduation invitations. It seems hard to believe it will be time for graduation and the year half over.

I started with mounting the printed card stock on brown.

Cut a strip of another printed paper that matched the background paper and put it on the right side then put a ribbon on it.

Stamped the saying with VersaFine and embossed it, cut it out with Spellbinder. I lightly sponged the edges of the cut out with Sepia colored ink.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out the rose and scroll.

I stamped the word Friend, and used a 1" punch and cut it out

Dancing Feet

I thought this might be a good one for today since it is raining here in Janesville, WI.

I cut the dark red card stock and rounded the corners with a larger corner rounder.

I cut the blue card stock and punched the corner punch and then used a smaller corner rounder for these corners.

I stamped the feet on Ex-Press paper and used Copic markers then cut them out.

The feet are put on light blue paper that has spots of white in it and cut it small enough so it didn't go into the corners so the red card stock color came through..

The saying is stamped and embossed (that is why it's shinny and doesn't look the best). I cut it out with Spellbingder.

I glued the rain drops last.

Sharing Popcorn

This is our popcorn bowl from Crackerbox Palace. I can eat popcorn any time of the year, but mostly it seems to be in the winter. Our weather this April is cooler than it was in March, so I am still thinking of popcorn.

The saying has been stamped and I used Spellbinder for cutting out the frame with the gray and blue card stock. The burnt orange I just cut a square and rounded the corners. You really can't see it in the picture, but I tacked down the bottom of the saying and used popdots on the upper part of the saying so it has a slight slant to it just to make it more interesting.

The bowl has been paper shaped and glued just around the outer edge. I scribbled a yellow marker on the image to add some butter to the popcorn-who doesn't like buttered popcorn? Then I dotted and swirled (very lightly) liquid applique around the popcorn and heated it up to get the puff for the popcorn.

The salt shaker, I first put some clear glitter glue (Stickles) for the salt, then added liquid lacquer over the entire glass area.

I cut out the design with Spellbinder in 2 shades of blue and put them together.

I added the pink flowers in the corners and the small pearls on the top, bottom and sides.

The ribbon was glued on the side.

I used a corner rounder punch around the image and the card.

Butterfly Thank You

The envelope also has the saying stamped on it with dusted pink ink on the corner and the punched butterflies are also glued on the envelope.

The printed paper is only half the size of the card.

Punch the printed paper at the size you want the top part of the card.

Using the same punch, punch one edge of the colored card stock.

When you glue the printed paper on the card, only glue the top part of the printed paper to the top of the card. Slip the pink card stock under the punched edge of the printed paper.

The bottom of the printed paper, turn the printed paper around so the punched edge is hid under the pink.

The Thank You is stamped with Crackerbox stamp.

The buterflies are punched out of scrap from the printed paper.

There are large pearls next to the saying and smaller pearls on the pink card stock on the punched area.
