My grandson, Drake, is graduating from high school this year, and will be headed to George Mason College in the Fall. I’m so proud of him! His ceremony is today, and this is the card he’ll be receiving.
Congratulations Drake!
I began with striped, Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″, placing a Patchwork Pieces Die in the center, and rolling it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I glued the frame to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Rather than using the striped, cut pieces, I used the same die to cut solid, blue, Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper. The die was carefully removed from the pieces, so they stayed intact, making it easy to glue them in the frame.
I wanted to have Drake’s name on the card, and the Alphabet A La Mode Dies were perfect. I used Blueberry Bushel Cardstock, Foam Adhesive Sheets for Dimension, and attached them to the card front.
The stars are from the Wanted To Say Die Set, cut from Lemon Lolly Cardstock, with Foam Adhesive Sheets for Dimension.
“Congratulations” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blueberry Bushel Ink on Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper, backed it with Foam Adhesive Sheets, and used its Sentimental Silhouettes Die for cutting.
The inside was completed with a sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped, “You’ve come so far & accomplished so much,” in Blueberry Bushel Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, and glued this inside. The last detail was decorating the envelope flap with another pattern of Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper.
I’m happy to say, I’ll be giving Drake his card “in person” on June 8th!
