Graduation Cards

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of graduation cards that I made last weekend. My daughter always requests custom cards with the names on them so this is what I came up with.

The Greetery-Capsule Star Studded, Altenew-Caps Bold Alpha Die Set

I had the recent Greetery products nearby so they were first to grab. On the background I used the Capsule Star Studded Borders dies, Capsule Basics dies & Capsule Party Scene dies. To customize the names I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and for the congrats I used the Let’s Have a Word: Congrats die.

The Greetery-Capsule Star Studded, Altenew-Caps Bold Alpha Die Set

On the inside of the card I used the World’s Greatest die for the trophy pocket. I added the “for you” sentiment from the Big Yay set.

The Greetery-World's Greatest

Of Course a shaker is always a fun touch so I filled it with the Starshine Embellishment Mix.

Here was my daughter’s reaction: “Okay Mom, you went above and beyond on these and I love it!”
I’ll take that as a win!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Greetery-Fête & Fiesta Collection Day 1

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to kick off the Fête & Fiesta Collection introductions.

These new products go live at 10am EDT on Thursday, May 14.

Picado was a new term for me. It actually means “chopped” but this type of “perforated paper” design is a traditional Mexican folk art featuring intricate designs cut into tissue paper.

I am in love!

For my first card I used a combination of the Pretty Picado Die with the Capsule Star Studded Borders and the Pretty Picado Sentiments stamp set & coordinating dies for the sentiment.

Hi there! Today I’m joining The Greetery to introduce the gorgeous new Christmas Market Collection.

My first project featuring the Cocoa Cozy product suite. This is such a fun bundle that includes a stamp, die, stencil as well as an embossing folder. I used the 3D Winter Mitts Embossing Folder with Buttercream cardstock. I used the coordinating Winter Mitts Stencil to add some shading to the snowflakes using Buttercream ink. I stamped the mittens with Sorbet ink and die cut them along with the cup of cocoa using the Cocoa Cozy Dies. I stamped the sentiment with Poppy ink using the Cocoa Cozy Stamp Set. I also put the white die cut mitten cuffs back into the embossing folder to give them that sweater texture.
