Taylor’s Challenge - Graduation
WOW! I can’t believe how many graduations I have to attend. Yesterday, we had a graduation party for 3 cousins. I don’t mind making multiple cards…. but sometimes I’m too pressed for time that its hard to “push” my creativity. LOL! Thank goodness for Taylor’s Cupcake Challenge (TECC19). What a perfect layout. One card done. LOL!
I used my Just-Rite Monogram Set for the first time. I just loved it and it was perfect. Since this card was for a male cousin, I couldn’t really add the bling that I wanted to add. I had to make it somewhat simple. I just love the Stampendous Graduation stamps. and I had to add the Adorn-It Multi-Colored Jewels. This card fit perfectly in the Business Sized envelopes.
Now…. I had to come up with something for my other male cousin…. hmmmmm…. what to do…….
I saw this cute Gift Card Tutorial from Julie’s Blog. I thought it would be perfect. Again…. a male card…. so I had to keep it simple. Here is my take.
Again, I used the Stampendous Graduations Stamps. I used the Sakura Stardust pens to color in the ribbon on the diploma. It’s hard to see the sparkle.
Surprisingly, my guy cousins loved their cards….. Phew! 
Very cool cards! I am a big fan of black & white with a splash of color. I hear ya about graduation parties. The invitations are flying in for me too!
Have a great day!
