    For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT378), we are to use banners. I love banners! I use them a lot for sentiments but this time I just used a banner for the header. It’s a multi-part die w/ several layers for the banner and a bunch of little tassels to go w/ it.

    The images are from DRS Designs. The huge sentiment was stamped w/ the cobalt ink  on top of the grad cap I stamped w/ the sky ink, and layered a couple of times. The background is a Congrats label/envelope label but I stamped it so the blank middle was behind the main layer and doesn’t show. I inked it w/ the summer sky then used a cobalt marker to highlight a few words here and there. Added the banner layers and tassels and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished!

    Thanks so much for stopping by

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white, lt blue, cobalt blue
    Ink: Ancient Page cobalt, Memento summer sky
    Accessories: Spellbinders banner basics 2 dies, Tombow cobalt blue marker

    Congrats to Tracy, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS275)! What a wonderful gallery she has and after much browsing, I chose her Happy Birdie Blue to case. I kept a similar layout but changed the colors, images die cut shapes.  I needed a graduation card for one of my DH’s nephews and these new Our Daily Bread designs images are perfect for the new graduate.

    I die cut a square panel and with the die still in place, I sponged some of the neptune ink in the center and the pear tart ink toward the edges.  After sponging, I stamped the sentiment. I like to do the sponging first so the stamped sentiment will stay clear and sharp.

    The frame was stamped on the larger square and colored a little with markers and sponged as well. The banners and tassels were die cut added below the sentiment.  The finished card is 4.50 x 6.25 (A6).

    Thanks so much for looking! Have a Happy Mother’s Day!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: ODBD – Dreams, Ironworks Borders

    For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT323) at Splitcoast, I went the easy route today and used a song for inspiration. I needed a grad card for my nephew and while making it, I kept hearing “Pomp & Circumstance” the whole time, lol. Since I was in the band all the way thru school, I bet I’ve played this song a million times.

    All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. Anyway, I gold embossed the greeting and diploma and die cut w/ a Spellbinders circle. The ruffled gold is two cupcake liners that I split, removed the middles and put them together to form a lg circle. I used a MS diamonds edge punch on the black glitter dp and formed a circle w/ it. The final part of the medallion is just strips of metallic gold ribbon attached to the back. (I didn’t have time for a video, but I did take some pics so hopefully soon, I’ll have them up for you to see.)

    The black glossy layer is backed w/ a gold glitter dp layer. On the white layer, I used the CB swiss dots on top and the QK stripe label on the bottom. The stripes are very visible because I used them to line up and attach narrow strips of black and gold glitter dp. I saw some glitter striped dp in the store but it was the wrong color so I made my own to match. Finished card measures 5 x 6.5 (A6).

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
