Graduation Card for a Girl

Good Morning,

First up, to keep you updated I have no roof left on my old garage, sooo exciting and it is still outside, not to say there is no dust already mind ;-)

So, onto the card for today, a friend asked me to make 2 Graduation cards, one for her neice who is graduating from uni soon. Now, unfortunately I don't have any graduation stamps at all so I went with the very versatile New Years Celebration,

Colour combo is Kraft and Cameo Coral, ((loving the coral))

Paper on the bottom half is from Pink Flamingo, edged using the spiral punch, Graduate is stamped using the Just Perfect alpha,

yummy brad from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit,

Champagne and bubbles are topped in Crystal Effects,

The inside is finished with a little of the same dsp, sentiment is an old hostess set from last year, perfect sentiment tho right?

Well, thats it for today, they are taking down the garage walls today, weather permitting I suppose, excting times round our way right now,

Thanks for stopping by, I really love that you do and Stampin' hugs to you all,

Another Sneak Peek and an Award!

Well helllloooo!

I hope you are all having a lovely day, I have got sooo much to do today, not least of all is to pack!!! (we are going away for 3 weeks on Sunday, eeek!) It is also my sisters birthday while we are away and my bestest friend Elaine's birthday on Friday!!!! So I suppose I had better get on with it :0)

First of all I must say I made this card after seeing this lovely creation by Kate- thanks for the inspiration Kate :0)

We will be making this and more on Saturday at my Cupcakes class...

Unfortunately they are not the worlds best piccies as it is raining here (again) but I will add the colours so you get the idea, right?

Choc Chip card base, Pumpkin Pie layer and Whisper White top layer with matching grosgrain ribbon. Sweet Always paper pieced balloons.

I stamped the balloons in Choc Chip ink, the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie and I also added a balloon to the inside.

Here you can see the lovely Spiral Punch detail, I really must use this punch more as I love the effect it gives.

Before I go I have been given an award from the super kind and talented Jan, thank-you Jan :0) If you don't know Jan then you really must pop over to her blog and take a look at her wonderful creations.

Right, that's it for today, Must get on....

Have a good one, and don't forget to come back tomorrow for another sneaky peek!!
