Welcome! Today I have my next girl grad card to share. I'm headed to Calgary to spend the weekend with Sherrie Siemens and our Calgary Copic girls, so my husband needed all five six (now he tells me!) graduation cards before I left. :-) For this card I used Papertrey Ink's Congrats All Ways stamp set, combined with the numbers from For the Graduate. Patterned papers are from Carta Bella's new So Noted 6" x 6" paper pad.
I thought that someone might have a question on how I got that card base with my Spellbinders Grand Labels Four die template, so I took a picture. I used the next to largest die template, making the folded card base about 5-1/2" wide and slightly less than 4" tall. I also trimmed the tips off after scoring and folding the die-cut shape, as you can see above. I did that to allow the card to sit flat on the bottom instead of wobbling from side to side on that pretty point.
For the inside sentiment, I used Papertrey Ink's For the Graduate stamp set, stamped in Berry Sorbet ink.
The flowers are cut with Spellbinders Rose Creations die template set, from white coffee filters. I then dripped some Copic colorless blender on the filter-cuts, and then Copic R22 for the blossoms and Copic YG23 for the leaves. (Rose Creations is a simple floral die set to use because it does not require winding. Sometimes I'm winding-challenged. ;-}) The focal panel is cut with a Spellbinders Labels Four die template (largest one in the set), and then trimmed just the same as the card base and mat layers.
Okay--off to Calgary now! I'll have some guy grad cards for you a little later this week. Thanks for visiting!
