Of course with graduation time here again, it was a perfect excuse to spend time in my new room. Besides, my dear hubby doesn't want to (or won't) spend any more money on greeting cards considering how much money I spend on paper. ;D
Anyway, I made a cute little envelope card using my favorite retired Stampin' Up! products...
I generated this card using Brilliant Blue ink and cardstock, the Great Grads stamp set and the Hugs & Wishes stamp set. I also used the All Stars Large Stampin' Wheel to complete the front of the card, as well as satin white ribbon.
Complete instructions:
Cut a piece of 6 3/4 in X 7 inch brilliant blue cardstock. Either fold cardstock in half so that it measures 6 3/4 in X 3 1/2 in. Cut a piece of 6 1/2 in. X 3 1/4 in. piece of white cardstock...this is the interior of the card.
Using the 1 3/4 in. circle punch, make a punch at the left side of the paper - this will be the front of the card.
Using a stamp-ama-jig, or by eyeballing it, stamp the G image on white cardstock so that it is centered in the circle punch area.
Open the brilliant blue cardstock, and lay it out flat on a piece of scrap paper. Ink and roll the stars image across the card so that it spans the front of the card. I actually started the image over the punched area, stamped it and re-inked the wheel and stamped the other side of the cardstock - opposite of the punch area....this way the image is crisp and consistent over the entire card.
Finally, wrap the satin ribbon around the longer portion of the card front, tie a bow and viola...you are done.
I hope you enjoy this card...it is very versatile for all school colors.
Thanks for looking - any and all comments are welcome!
Happy crafting!
