Graduation Card

 It's hard to believe but Jennifer graduated from 6th Grade.  They had a very nice ceremony for the class.  She will be going into the Middle School in September!!  Oh boy!!  

For her card, I used some Brushed Silver CS I had left from SU with some lavender DSP I had in my stash with some pretty stars on it.  I punched some additional stars from silver foil to match the paper and my sentiment as well.

My inside sentiment is from Gina K's stamps and added some more stars!  It came together pretty quick which was good as I was running out of time.  

Here she is on stage.  She got an award for getting Honors all year.  It was a nice evening and fortunately it was inside as the weather here has been so terribly hot!  We hope everyone has a wonderful 4thof July!

Birthday Card

 Lots of birthdays coming up.  I made this card for my youngest daughter Jeannie.  She loves flowers and has some gorgeous ones in her garden.  

 

A friend of mine gave me this Gina K Twisted Stems stencil and I thought it would be perfect for her.  I cut is out with Gina's ML#2 set using SU's Garden Green CS for my base card layering it with Black and white layers.  I used her Pink Carnation colors for the shades of pink and her Green Spruce colors for the leaves. For my sentiment, I used SU's Little Ladybug.  .

My inside sentiment was from SU's Happiest of Birthday stamp set.  Today's stencil sets are so easy to use.  I was really pleased how the flowers turned out.

I submitted this card over at - Stencil fun challenge.

Mother's Day Cards

 When I was thinking about making some cards for Mother's Day, I was looking through my embossing folders and came across this oldie but goodie! Does anyone still  have any Cuttlebug Embossing Folders?

I used He Loves Me folder.  I can't remember when I used it last.  I used my Gina K's ML#2 to cut my SU's Wisteria Wonder CS for my layer and adhered it to my base card in Daffodil Delight.  Love these colors together.

For my sentiment, I used Concord & 9th stamp set - In The Bag. I thought it looked cute inside of the heart.  I also added some gems for some sparkle.

For my inside sentiment, I used my old stamp from Michael's and added a few hearts.  I think this embossing folder can be used for so may other occasions.  I found another one that I will have to dust off.  

I entered this post over at Can You Handle The Pressure  challenge.
