Congratulations Graduation Card

I'm back this afternoon posting a card I made for my grandson's recent graduation that I hadn't made as of yet until today! I was pretty much at a standstill with no idea what design and I don't own any graduation stamps, but I do own a Cricut Explore Air. I searched the images for a Graduation Cap and this is the one I choose. I fiddled with the size a couple of times, but I decided on a 2" wide image.

I followed the sketch on Freshly Made Sketches blogspot for this card. When I first saw it I knew it would work perfectly. The colors are his school colors, Red, White, and Black. I used Neenah Solar White 110# for the base and Neenah White 80#, SU Real Red for the inner panel, and Cap. The top layer of the card I embossed with a retired SU EF to add some interest and I felt it looked masculine. The square was cut with the square from SU Stitched Shapes Framelits. I embossed the white stitched square with SU's Dynamic EF. The sentiment is from MFT's Essential Sentiments. I love this set and use it often.

That's it for now. I need to make a New Home card for my GD and her hubby. They will be moving into their new home next week. Sometimes I just can't seem to get ahead of my card making. Do you have those situations?

Have a blessed weekend. Stay Well and Stay Safe...

Blessings,

Happiest of Birthdays to You

Happy Wednesday morning. I just finished up this card for one of my SIL's and will link it over at CASE(E) This Sketch blog.

Inside of Card

I used the SU Sailing Home suite as I have done on several other cards that I have made recently for the men in our family. I really love all the images with matching dies. I used Neenah Solar White 110# for the base with a layer of  SU Night of Navy topped with Balmy Blue which was embossed with SU's Subtle Dynamic embossing folder and cut with one of MFT's Stitched Rectangles. The sentiment is from MFT'S Bitty Birthday Wishes and cut with MFT's Skinny Strip Die-Namics.

The inside was stamped with the sailboat from the SU set and the sentiment is from MFT's Anything-but-Basics Birthday Wishes.

Well, I'm off to work on several more cards for family members who have October birthdays. Enjoy your day and I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Bernie

You're in My thoughts Today

I'm here posting a second card for MOJO Monday today.  This was using some of my last strips of paper by SU, Frosted Floral SP. I believe after looking today that I do have one more 6x6 pieces left. It's better then thinking I haven't more!

I paired this piece with Gray Granite and Blackberry Bliss. I then embossed the gray layer with SU's  Subtle Dynamic Embossing folder. After I had finished gluing down the pieces, I was disappointed that I did not emboss the Blackberry Bliss piece.Oh well, it is what it is. The sentiment is from an old Papertey Ink set that I embossed with WOW silver embossing powder. I used my MISTI and GinaK's Wreath Builder template and one of the stamps from the original Wreath Builder set. I then cut it with SU's Stitched Shapes Framelits.

That's it for tonight. Have a wonderful evening and go do something you LOVE!
