Congrats!

Graduation time is coming soon.  A happy time for the graduate and the families.  I picked up this Sizzix star die and thought it would be perfect for a graduation card.

This is a quick and easy card to make.  Punching out all the little pieces took some time.  I need to get one of those roller brushes that takes care of these little details!

This congratulations card could be sent as a retirement card, congrats on a job promotion or graduation.

Have a great day!

Congratulations Coffee Gift Card #6

In the last post, I mentioned I could post two more cards.  After posting this card, I will be getting ready for a party I am hosting tomorrow.  I would much rather be making cards than cleaning the house, but duty calls....

Congratulations to the winter graduates!


Here is card #6 in the 2017 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

 

 Take care,

Congratulations

Graduations and retirements are coming soon.  This card is very similar to a birthday card I saw on Pinterest -- my favorite source of inspiration!  I changed the sentiment to Congratulations and added a little pocket on the inside for a gift card or money.

The front seemed a little blah so I tacked on several silver and red sequins.  The basic card is black and the black and white patterned paper is from my stash.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite sets:  Word Up from Paper Smooches (though I think this set is retired as it does not match the current Word Up set on their website).

 If you need a bunch of birthday or graduation cards, this would be a top candidate -- quick and easy.

I'm adding this card to the Paper Smooches April Challenge - Black and White with a Pop of Color.

Congratulations

Graduation time is almost over, but I needed one last card.  Everyone loves the smiley face so I thought I would make a look-alike of a card I saw at the post office.  Sometimes they have some really great ideas!

I punched a yellow cirlce and drew the smile with a Copic pen (actually traced around the bottom half of a smaller circle).  They eyes are a cute little stamp from Technique Tuesday's Simple Sentiments.  The congratulations sentiment is from Paper Smooches Word Up set -- these are my two favorite stamp sets. 

Then I cut out a cap and twirled a length of twine for the tassel.

My first card was just the smiley face, cap and tassel on a white card.  It is okay, but needed something.  Hence the background paper of teeny tiny colored dots.  I think the patterned  paper adds a little depth and the smiley face pops.

The second card will be posted to Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenges Blog -
