Graduation Cards 6 ways

Still timely I think since the celebration keeps going.  I had a grad at my house. This is one of my favorite pictures from the Day.
 She is busy  making arrangements for college registering for classes, and spending times with her friends before they all go separate directions. Just finished having an Open House for her the week before Fathers Day.
 This week I have a grad party for a Senior at our church. SO I needed to get my cards made, and I need to get some in the mail.

For Graduation this year I stuck to using my old stand by favorite QuiKuts Grad Cap die. I love it and since only use it for HS or College graduations it does the Job. I love teaming it with an Embossing folder From Provo Craft, and a sentiment from StampinUp. This year I used several different sentiments from my stash, some new and some retired.  For the first set I used the "Congrats" from  "Say It With Scallops". I really like how  they look together.  I  used the Music CB embossing folder, with one because the grad is in to choir, and band, and Music.  The  Colors are their School Colors if I know them.

The Second Set I used different sentiments, "Congratulations" from "Something to Celebrate" and "Happy Graduation" from "Teeny Tiny Phrases" I also used the "D'vine" swirl Cuttle-bug EF, because I always think of a cap being tossed in the air when I use it. The colors are mostly retired  or scraps from my scrap box.. the Black is Embassy Black from Wall mart, The white was an old Wedding Card left over of cover Stock from GP. The red on the second picture is Real Red, the green and Blue are Brilliant Blue and Green Galore... The colorful CS on the first set are mainly Scraps I had.  The brads are all mostly from old color combo sets from Making Memories, and the tiny ones are from color sets I got  from Queen Co. along time a go. I used my Decorative Label and Word Window Punches too. The Ink Jet Black StazOn.

So if you haven't figured it out yet, I am still sticking to the theme of using my old supplies.  And spending my money on  the occasional new punch die or stamp set.  "Trying" is the operative word here while I try to get my stash to a more manageable level.


Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
