This year we have a boat load of grads among our friends and family! This is a card I just finished today with more new stuff that I wanted to show you that came from Frantic Stamper!
The DP is Basic Grey's new
Basics Kraft Paper 6x6 pad! Love love love this set of basic background papers. Masculine cards are never easy to design but this collection really motivates and inspires some masculine creativity!
The exploding gift image is from
Inkadinkado Birthday Sentiments. I stamped it in Colorbox Chalk Dark Brown ink. Several of the stars and dots were accented with similarly sized peel-off stickers!
The grad cap is a Sizzix Sizzlet cap and gown die. I shaped the bottom half of the die cut into a curve and attached it with dimensional tape. The little tassel is from a package of discontinued Martha Stewart embellishments that I got at Big Lots awhile back.
This sentiment here is a "
Dazzles Greeting" Peel Off by Hot off the Press. I am having so much fun with peel-offs recently, I don't know why it took me so long to use them!! Go to
Frantic Stamper (look under Stickers category) to see lots and lots of fun ones -- they are super cheap and great go-to resources when you need just a bit of "pop"!!
The design of this card is inspired by the following challenges:
Midnight Madness Sketch (
MMSC52)
Incy Wincy Designs (
Anything Goes)
TFL, I'm so glad you stopped by!
