Grad Thank you notes~

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you, I hope you had a nice weekend.  It was Graduation weekend and it was full of family and friends within 6 feet away!

With Graduation over it's time for my daughter to get busy sending out thank you notes, with that in mind here is my project share for today.

These are the simple card layouts I created for my daughter's thank you notes.  Her favorite color is purple so with that in mind I chose Highland Heather to add some color to the beautiful Inspiring Iris Photopolymer stamp set.

The lighting in this photo is dreadful and I apologize, it's so much prettier in person!

Wink of Stella added some pretty shimmer to the petals of the Iris.  Leaves stamped in Granny Apple Green.

Graduation Gift Card Holder

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you.  Did you get a lot of yard work done this weekend?  It was supposed to rain all weekend but it only rained a little bit in our area.  I wish it had rained more but I am glad of what we got! 

Here is my project share for today. 

Graduation, graduation, graduation!  Seems like so many of the children I knew as little preschoolers are now graduating! 

Beautiful You photopolymer stamp set was what I used for the front of these graduation cards.

I created four of this style with different side stamps.  I sent off the one I created for my niece and forgot to grab a photo of it, I used all current stamps on hers, however this one, the sentiment is no long current, it's from the Bravo photopolymer stamp set. 

To add color I used Stampin' Blends Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, and Petal Pink and Light Mango.  To make the diploma I curled a small bit of paper around my Paper-piercer and tied it with black crochet thread.

The card base is a standard 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 Basic Black
Scored at 2 1/4" and 5 1/2"
Whisper White (regular) for the inside layer cut 1/4 smaller than each panel.

Graduation hat, I simply cut a square and then cut it at an angle, used black floss for the tassel.

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

Hello Stampers!
I was asked for 'one more Graduation card, please'!  I love getting special orders to create a card.
This is what I came up with.

Color layout, simple, Whisper White Thick and Basic Black card stock were used along with Silver Glimmer paper.

Confetti Stars Border punch, and Bravo Stamp set.  This layout was super simple, and when you need a card in a snap, simple is the way to go.

Our Graduation was this past weekend, it's so crazy how fast time goes by!  It seems like we just started school and here we are at the end.

Here is what I came up with!

The stamp set, Graduation is returned.  I am so glad I have the large Letter Framelits before they are gone!  (They are retiring next month!)

Graduation countdown!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you.
I can't believe that Graduation is only in two weeks.  This school year has gone by so quickly.  None of my children are graduating this year but we know several of them, so I better get hoppin' on creating some cards!

I used the Large Number Framelits to add the year to this card. Sentiment is from Suite Sentiments.

The Graduation hat was simply made by cutting some Basic Black down to 1 1/4" square and the tassel from the Balloon Framelits.

Thank you for joining me today!

Mini Cupcake Tutorial by Cheryl~

Happy Friday Stampers!
I hope you have a super fun day.  I was brought up that you can make a bad day go good simply by having a positive attitude.  I am positive that I love this project!!

Here is another graduation treat hand out, only these are for my daughter's 8th grade promotion.  You could use these for any kind of celebration, even simply it's FRIDAY celebration!  :)

Here's what you'll need to create these.  
-Chocolate chip card stock cut to 4" X 4" (makes 4)
-I used the Zig Zag Embossing Folder (retiring soon!)
-Cupcake builder Punch (retiring soon!)
-Scraps of DSP and card stock
-Real Red scrap pieces
-Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write marker

Punch out several cupcake tops and cherries.

You will need to run the Chocolate Chip card stock through your Big Shot or Textured Boutique.  score your card stock every 1" then turn and cut into 1" strips.

Fold up so you get a triangle and use Fast Fuse or adhesive of your choice.

Next attach the top of the cupcake, you will need two tops, one on either side of the triangle.

Color the stem of the cherry with Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write.

Then place a Hershey's Kiss in the triangle.

Isn't it just so cute?

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Encourage-MINT!

Happy day to you stampers!
I have another fun and fast graduation project to share with you today.

I used Junior mints and wrapped it with Basic Black.  I then printed off a picture and wrote up the sentiment "Thank you for your encouragMINT"  These are so simple to make, you can do it while watching your favorite movie!

I have also used York Mints, but being my nephew does not care for mint I let my kids choose what kind of mints to use! :)

Thank you for joining me today!  Tomorrow is Friday!!  Hooray!

"Big School"

Hello Stampers!
Happy Wednesday to you!  We are half way through another fabulous week!  I can't believe our school year is almost over!  I am super excited to spend summer break with my children, but I am not excited to say goodbye to my preschool class, I enjoy seeing them everyday and will miss them when they head off to 'big school'!

Speaking of heading off to 'big school', my nephew is graduating from High School and I have been working on some fun little treats to hand out at his after graduation party.

These are one of them!
Aren't they just fun?  I am sure you have seen these before, I see more and more of them year by year but I wanted to share what I have been up to and why I haven't had the time to post on my blog!  LOL

They are simply Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups I have also used Rolos but these were picked this year so that's what I am going with.  I used floss to in his colors to tie a 'tassel' to the left corner of the square.

I did use Stampin' Up's! Basic Gray as the base for his picture and attached it with Fast Fuse, then used a Glue Dot to stick it to the candy.

Thank you for joining me today!  If you have any questions please let me know, I will be sharing another project tomorrow!
