Good Morning,

Today is the last grad card I have to share with you.
I hope you have enjoyed the other cards and have used the ideas on your
own creations.  I use the Mojo Monday sketches on these cards because sometimes
ideas are hard to come up with, this is a great way to get your motivation back when
your brain can't seem to help you out.

Todays Card:

I know that these cards have been very simular, two of them are for twin girls, so I made them look simular for that reason.  The other one is for my son's girlfriend, so I made hers to look like the twins only because they are all good friends.

I used Stampin Up stamps/cuddlebug embossing folders/scalloped circle punches from marvy/grad hat from quick kuts (sp)/and the poka dot paper is a paper pack purchased at Joann's/other label punches are from stampin up/the number punches I purchased at a sale and have no clue what brand.

I hope you have enjoyed the grad cards, I hope I am done with them.  I am hoping to move on to some other theme.  I will post a Birthday card tomorrow???

Have a great Sunday

Jodi

Hello and Good Saturday Morning,

I am back this morning with another graduation card.  I have only one more to share with you tomorrow, so we will be done with the grad cards.  I have a couple of Birthday cards made up and a baby card and will share those with you later on.

Purple and Gold is the theme for this card also.  I haven't received any cards from grads from any other school so I don't get to make any other color, however, they don't have to be the school colors of the grad.

Here is the card:

Most of the elements I used for this card are from Stampin UP, but some stamping was Hobby Lobby stamps, the scalloped circles are punches from Marvy, and some label punches from Stampin UP. Ribbon/stampin up.  Ink/Memento Thanks for looking Jodi

Graduation card purple and gold

Hello,

Today I am back with another graduation card.  I know you all are probably going to get sick of
seeing the same colors in my grad cards but I try to make them with the colors of the school the are graduating from.  Purple and Gold is probably a common color style for a lot of schools, but you can use any colors to make this card. I used supplies from Stampin Up, Quik Kuts, and embossing folders from cuddle bug.....

Thanks for looking

Jodi

WOW!! Am I back?

HELLO,

Well, I don't know how long I can keep posting, but I have been making a few cards lately and I will try to post one when I can. 

I have found it hard to have the time to make cards.  I keep busy with the house, the outdoors and all the things that includes, but yesterday my cousin and I got together and made a few graduation cards, so I will be sharing those with you today.

You may find that they all tend to look simular, and that is probably true, but all the graduates I am making cards for are from the same school, so the colors will all look alike.

Here is the first card:  This was patterned from Mojo Monday sketch Monday 216 probably an older sketch.

For the front of the card I used Black as the base card, I used white cardstock on the layer and embossed it the swiss dot embossing folder.  I used the graduation hat cutting die from quik kuts, black brads for the hat and the stamp is from Stamping Up, I decorated the black back tab with a punch border.

The inside of the card I used white cardstock and embossed it with a embossing folder that was perfect for a congratulations greeting.  The little black folder is from sizzix and I made a small band on the inside to put money, the greeting was a stamp from Stamping Up.

Well, that is all I have today, I have a few more cards I will share with you but that is all for today.
I just hope I can keep stopping by for more cards.

Thanks for looking

Graduation Cap Box

Hello, Boy what a hectic time it is here.  Graduation time. My sons girlfriend gradatuated on Friday night and her family hosted a party in her honor.  A couple of nights before the party she asked if I could make her a box for everyone to drop cards in....so my mind went spinning trying to think of something I could do to make it special.  So I hit Wal-mart and their fabric dept.  I bought some white satin and ribbon and put together this box. I didn't take this photo, I kinda took if from her facebook page, so thanks to the photograhper for that.  I used the rub on letters for the front lettering on the box, I made a flower for the side and put a rub on, on the button in the middled.  I used the 2011 ribbon along the side.  You can't see but I used white satin ribbon on the sides and on the top around the slot.  Then we attached her tassel from her real cap. Thanks for looking and I hope to be back soon........ Jodi 

Red/White Graduation Card

Hello Everyone, 

Well I have made it back another day to show you a new card.
I am still receiving graduation invitations so I am still making cards.
This one was a little different then the others, still trying to keep it
simple so it is easier to make them in batches.  I really didn't expect all
the invitations I received so I didn't know I was going to have this
explosion of cards to make.

Card Recipe:

I used for the front of this card Labels 18 from spellbinders

"Happy Greetings" from SU summer mini catalog

The hat I used on the front was from some of the stickers I had stored away

The ribbon is from Walmart

I used the embossing folder from Cuttlebug, not sure what the name is but it is perfect for these cards.

Inside:

I used labels 18

The sentiment is a stamp I had from previous years, I just like the message

The top diploma is from sizzix

the small pocket I just put together for the money to rest and put some 2011 ribbon on the bottom.

The 2011 ribbon was given to me by my cousin Pam and I think she might have purchased it from Joanns.

Thanks for looking today!!

Graduation time is here

Hello, Hello, I want to apologize for not posting for a while.  Seems like life gets in the way sometimes of the things we would like to do.  I have been busy with yard work, and getting things done for spring cleaning, always good to do that when a new season comes along. Well, graduation time is here and I have been getting plenty of invites. I tried to keep my creations simple so that I could make several in good time. I tried to use the colors of the schools these kids go to, I have 3 more I haven't photographed in red/white also. Card Recipe I used the "congratulations" embossing folder on all these cards.  I thought that was a simple way to add a lot of embellishment to the card. I used the "graduation" sentiment from Stampin Up. The graduation cap and gown is from Sizzix. The "Best Wishes" sentiment is also from SU.
