The Tassel Is Worth The Hassle

I have a graduation party to attend tomorrow and I made this little card to put the gift of cash in!

The little graduation cap is a stamp from the retired Stampin' Up! set, Sketch An Event. I stamped the cap in black ink on Whisper White cardstock. I cut it out completely leaving a little white edge around it. You can either cut around the tassel like I did, or make little slits to fringe it. It's cute either way . . .
The Tassel Is Worth The Hassle!

If you don't have the set Sketch An Event in your Stampin' Up! collection, an even more attractive replacement for this stamp is one from the Great Grads set in the current catalog (item #114976). It includes some "congratulations" stamps which can be used for other occasions in addition to graduation. I love sets that are versatile like that.

Have a fun weekend and I'll be back soon. Thank you for stopping by!

So Glad We're Friends

It's the weekend, and don't we all just love the weekend? I sure do! The only problem is I try to do way too much and the time just flies. I wish it went that fast when I am at work. Oh well.

I have a couple friends with fall birthdays so I made some fall-like birthday cards today. I just love the look and texture of this line of paper from Daisy Bucket called Sweet Marabella. It's double sided and almost has the texture of wallpaper, but thinner. It's very cool. I decided to pair it up with Stampin' Up! cardstock in Kraft for my card base, Whisper White, and Garden Green. The antique looking brads are by Making Memories, chipboard flower by Maya Road, and orange flower by Bazzill. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! called Best Yet. It is a hostess stamp set that you get free with $150.00 purchase or more. It is a wonderful set with 6 sentiments including a Christmas one. I've only owned it for a few months now and can't begin to tell you how much I use it!

I have a really simple but elegant Christmas card to show you in my next posting using one of the Sizzix dies in the SU! Holiday Mini. Stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!
