Graduation Time

It IS that time of year, and I needed another Graduation card. 

I saw this card idea on Pinterest so I made one too.  I added the year and put the hat up top instead of at the bottom as I saw online.  Thought this sentiment was way too cute!

I used two different Cuttlebug folders. The one is Honeycomb used on the large gold background, and the second one is from Give a Hoot companion set.  It doesn't have its own name, but I love how it looks. Here's a better close-up shot.

I love embossing folders, and I really should use them more often!  Hope you liked my card.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'd like to link this up to DL Art Thankful Thursday Anything Goes Challenge
and to Jo's Scrap Shack Photo Inspiration Challenge.

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

It's time for another Die Cuttin' Divas challenge...

It's a Sketch Challenge!

I made this graduation card based on this sketch:

I used blue, gold and white cardstock scraps to make this card!  The blue background is embossed with Cuttlebug's Geometric Rings.  The grad cap was cut at 2" from the Wrap It Up cartridge.  The sentiment is a wooden $1.00 stamp from Michael's and I stickled the stars in it.  Then I made the other blue stars with a punch, and added some gold gems where needed.
