Bloom and Grow - Graduation card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Bloom and Grow - Graduation card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Graduation Cards - Fancy Friday Blog Hop

April 25, 2019

Hello friends! There are so many reasons to make a card and to send a card. This month I am getting ready for Graduation season. Our theme for this month is: “Create a project of your choice for any family member”. There are quite a few talented kiddos that need a little gradation recognition.

SNEAK PEEK ALERT! I am using a few new products that are not available until June 4th. Don’t be sad. You can turn ANY card into a graduation card by adding a cap and diploma. Or just a cap! Create a cap quickly with the Tailored Tag punch and Story Label punch (available now). It’s super easy.

1. Punch out Tag shape.

2. Punch diamond shape

3. Punch Story Label, trim off end.

  1. Punch out the Tailored Tag label shape.

  2. Insert tailored tag shape into the punch again and punch out a smaller diamond shape.

  3. Punch out the Story Label shape. Trim off one end to create the cap base.

  4. Assemble as shown on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, a brad, and tassel of choice.

  5. Create a tassel with fringed paper or frayed twine.

The ‘Let’s Celebrate You’ first card SNEAK PEEKS three fun NEW products. First it showcases the Bloom and Grow stamp set and dies, this is beautiful set with larger verses and beautiful florals that are perfect for coloring. Second sneak is one of the new InColors: Terracotta Tile. This is a coral color that is a little deeper and dirtier than Calypso Coral. I love it! And, third is the layering Stitched Nested Label dies.

More SNEAKS: This card features another new stamp set called ‘Above the Clouds’. This set has a coordinating hot air balloon punch. The sentiments in this set are perfect for graduation. I created another cap to top off the hot air balloon. This card introduces another new InColor: Seaside Spray. This pale gray blue has just a hint of light purple tones. It’s soft and calming color.

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.
