I'll be back sometime this week - so I can't leave comments

You Did it Bubbles...

Hey There Crafty Friends! Happy Monday to ya!!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!

I have a WINNER from Saturday's Blog Hop to announce
and a Graduation Card to share with you today!

Okay... So these cards were inspired by a design image I saw on the

Doodlebug Website and the Christmas cards I made using a

Flat Back - Which I got from Jennifer McGuire Last year...

Now.. Say that 10 times fast! HAHAHA

These cards have what I call FLAT BACKS - Which means the

cards are smaller and are attached to the larger Flat Card Base...

Does that make any sense??? 

Don't worry the next picture should help you out!! LOL

See how my card opens? 

It's a smaller card size (3 3/4 x 5) and it's adhered

to a standard Flat piece of Cardstock (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

It will fit inside a regular A2 size envelope... 

So I created the image in my Silhouette Program

after seeing the design on the Doodlebug website -

I thought it was so cute and perfect as a graduation

Card front - I had to do some alterations to the

SVG file to get it looking like it does -

But I honestly love the way it turned out - I die cut the

Grad cap in Red & Black for the 2 different cards

and you can see how I did up the inside as well

The Black & White Cardstock is Recollections

Silver Cardstock is Neenah

Red Cardstock is Stampin Up

Designer Paper is Doodlebug & the dots paper

is a file I found in my Silhouette Program which

I printed out on some Bazzill White Cardstock then 

sprayed with my Acrylic Sealer before cutting them out

on my Cameo Machine

Stitched Rectangle Die - My Creative Time

And the Winner of Georgiana's Anniversary Blog hop is

LARELYN!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Email me your address so I can get that

stamp set in the mail to ya!!!

(My e-mail address is on my blog under my picture)

 I leave town this week so please email me asap 

if you want your prize mailed before I go!! :)

Have a Wonderful DAY!!

Theresa

Hats Off CASing...

Hello and Happy June 1st Everyone!!

Yikes! June is already here!!! Summer has begun

around here and I'm already looking forward to Fall! Hahahaha

Okay, Okay... I promise I won't rush it!!

I've got more graduation cards to share with you
since I took a break and made some Coffee cards! :)

Here's one I made CASING MYSELF!!!

Back in February, I made this card using a Your Next Stamp

Heart Splatters Stamp, Washi Tape, & some Heart Dies

So... I decided WHY NOT Make a Graduation Card 

with the Same idea in mind???

I honestly think this turned out pretty Cool!! 

I'm using the Your Next Stamp (Large Splatter) Stamp

in some Brillance Galaxy Gold Ink and

I'm using up some of my Gold & Black Washi Tape

The Stitched Rectangle Die is from My Creative Time

The Assorted Stars Dies are from Your Next Stamp (Stripe-Tastic Stars)

Grad Cap Die - Sizzix (Crazy Things)

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom (Simple Sayings 3)

Which was Heat Embossed with some Ultra Fine Black

embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp

Everything was die cut through my Gemini Jr.

I used my Misti for the Stamping and I adhered

the White Card front to a Black piece of Fun Foam

before attaching it to my Black Cardbase! 

I also wanted to let you know

TOMORROW - Saturday, June 2nd is

Please make sure to Join us

We will have giveaways and

there are only 8 stops along the way!!!

Hope to see you tomorrow!
Have a Fabulous Day!!

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend?? Did you do anything FUN?

Exciting? Relaxing? ME? YES! I did get

some wood projects completed!! Hopefully

I'll share the pictures soon with you! YAY!

I'm back with another Graduation card!

I hope you don't me sharing them...I warned you

that I made several for the Teachers at School! :)

This one is a TOTAL PINTEREST FIND!!! 

I would have brain blocks while trying to come up with

so many graduation cards

 so I went to Pinterest to refresh my mind

and came across one that was neat!

I made mine an A2 size.. I believe the one I saw was a 

square card - and mine is just a tad different....

not much because I actually liked the papers they used

which I happen to have!! :)

The Designer Paper is Doodblebug & Stampin' Up

Cardstock is Recollections, Stampin' Up, & Neenah Silver

Red & Blue Congrats...

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty friends!

Wahoo! We are 1/2 way through the week already!

I'm certainly looking forward to the weekend!

I don't know about you... but the weather here is HOT already!

We've been in the 90's and my AC is working hard!

Last year, I think it was a little cooler still at this time

of year... but I guess Mother Nature is ready to get this 

party started! LOL  

As long as I stay inside, I'm a happy camper! LOL 

Summer is not my favorite season

but I do enjoy having my son home from school

so we can take day trips together or visit family

while he's off... Come August, I'm sure I'll be

happy for him to get back to a routine... But

for now... we'll just enjoy his time off! :)

I've got another graduation card to share with you

I made a Male & Female Graduation card! 

You never know which one they'll need

so I went with both and I also went with Red & Blue -

Utah's school colors are Red or Blue (mostly)

So, I thought I would stick with those colors on some

of my cards and other cards are just black/gold/white

or Black/Silver/white - since you can never be

to sure on what someone is really 

looking for in a graduation card! :)

I found the Silhouette images through Google and

traced them in my Silhouette Program

adjusted the sizes to work for my card fronts and

then cut them out. I popped them up with

some dimensionals from Stampin' Up

The Stitched Rectangle Die & Postage Stamp Frame Die 

are from My Creative Time 

Cardstock is Recollections 110lb Black & White

The (Congrats) word Die is from My Craft Spot (No Longer in Business)

I cut them out 3 x's each in Silver Neenah Cardstock with some

Stick it adhesive on the back side

The Designer Paper is some old Stampin' Up 6x6 pad I had

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

Clear Wink of Stella on the Grad Hats and added

some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards to give this card

a more Feminine touch - I made 2 of them

The Sentiment was Heat Embossed in Ultra Fine White 

Embossing Powder from Simon Says Stamp

The Sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink

The Stitched Rectangle is from My Creative Time

The Future Starts here...

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

How was your Mother's Day Weekend???

Mine was really nice and quite just like I like it! LOL

Hubby took me out for lunch on Saturday to avoid

the crazy crowds on Sunday and I made a bunch more

Graduation cards... 

Have any of you felt like you made too many cards

at once and then didn't know what to make afterward?

That was/is me right now... UGH! I spent one weekend

making a bunch of Design Team cards, then 

the following weekend I made a bunch of Graduation cards, 

then again the next weekend making more graduation cards!

I ended up at one point CASING myself again... cause I 

didn't know what to do... Sometimes it just flows... 

and sometimes I get drained and come up with nothing...

I'm just glad I got the graduation cards done...

I'm NOT making any more this year unless I

absolutely have too! Ya know what I mean? (Wink Wink)

Well... We got about 1 1/2 weeks left of school

over here... This week is a Full week and next week

is a short week with short hours... Today's the

School's Annual Carnival so I'll be going to work

late tonight! Not my favorite thing to do... But

someone has to clean up the big mess they

leave behind! hahaha 

My son said he'd come with me tonight to

help clean up around the school... He's

such a good kid... Sometimes I just can't

believe he's my son! LOL

Anyway... enough of my silly rambling...

Here's a Graduation card that I made

for some of the Teachers at school - They're the

ones who requested I make the graduation cards

for them and I'm happy to do it --

I used the Simple Stories Rad Grad Collection -
Cardstock is Recollections 110lb Black, Bazzill, DCWV Shimmer Gold
I used my Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray on the Stars & Diploma
Assorted Rectangle Stitched dies are from My Creative Time

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!

Your Future is Bright!!

Hello and Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

How was your weekend? 

How's the week going so far for ya?

As the School year winds down for us

I've been keeping busy... We have lots of

events going on for the next couple of weeks

so my schedule is going to be out of whack! LOL

I love my job so it'll be interesting with the kids

getting more antsier as the next few weeks progress!

And I found out that I'll be working all Summer!

Which I'm okay with... My hours will be cut so I can still

enjoy Summer and receive a paycheck! (Wink Wink)

Anywho... I thought I would Share a Graduation card I made - 

I spent this past weekend making a

bunch of Graduation cards that the Teachers requested...

I saw the "Shades" SVG file in the Silhouette Store and HAD to have it!

I kind of had an idea the moment I downloaded it -- I added Glossy Accents 

to the Glasses, to give it a more realistic look!

Cardstock - Bazzill, Recollections, 110lb, Fun Foam

Designer Paper - Echo Park (Wish Upon a Star)

Shades SVG File - Silhouette Store (#261236)

Grad Cap SVG File - Silhouette Store (#64661)
