Emoji Smile

 

My cousin just graduated from Dental Hygienist School and is now working in her career field! Congratulations Kim!  I'm so proud of the accomplishments she's done to get to where she is today! 

I created this card using the My Memories Suite digital software. The Emoji is from free clip art found online. The "sparkle" for the teeth is an embellishment from 'Holiday Hustle' by flergs. The star shower is a Stamp Brush set from 'Hello December Project Life' by SU, and the sentiment is from 'Go Graduate Plus' from SU.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

For my niece, who graduated from The College of Wooster. So proud of you! Congratulations!

I did a bit of hybrid digital stamping on this piece. The focal part... I used My Memories Suite digital software to create a gradient gold color on a square. Next, I added the sentiment from the 'Go Graduate Plus' stamp brush sets. Then printed it out on white cardstock. Finishing it up the traditional way with an embossed background and ribbon.

Graduation

 

While we were in Cleveland in June 2016, our nephew graduated from high school. His party was held at the Hinckley Lake Pavilion. We enjoyed great food and fun games with family and friends. Also, 2016 was the year of the cicadas -- they emerge every 17 years to breed and then die after leaving the eggs in the ground. Their song (or noise) can be heard constantly throughout the day/night. Hearing them wasn't so bad...it was actually kinda nice. It was the dead carcasses everywhere that was kinda gross. 

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies Used:

Background - Black

Punch - Square (filled w/blue)

Embellishments - Glimmer Kit (SU) - gold line; Graduation Day - word congrats

Stamp Brush Sets - Decorative Overlays (SU) white starburst; Go Graduate Plus (SU) - hat and owl; Extreme Elements (SU) - white stars

Font - Wide Latin (white)

Graduate Year

 

I really liked the look of Michelle Leone's graduation card, so striking with the bold orange color. I wanted to create a similar card using the colors of Jacob's high school and the tools I had.

Go Graduate

Graduating from College -- what a great accomplishment! Congratulations to our God-Daughter, Trina! We are so proud of you!

I used Trina's College colors -- umm..whoops! I think her colors are red/white. Oh my...gotta change this. I'll post it when I get it done.

I designed the circle cap and words in my digital software (My Memories) and printed it out on Whisper White cardstock.  I finished the card traditionally.

Okay.... I created another card with the correct colors... here it is:

My Memories - Go Graduate Plus digital stamps, font (Lavanderia Regular and June)
Paper - Night of Navy, Whisper White, Neutrals DSP, Real Red

I decided to design something in My Digital Studio around that saying.  I used the cap from 'Go Graduate Plus'.

College Grad

I saw Dawn's (DawnsGreetingCards on Etsy website) lovely card (her's is on the right), and wanted to create something similar with what I had on hand.

I used My Digital Studio to print out the sentiment and cap. Then, I printed it on Whisper White cardstock.

I used the Labels Collection Framelits to cut the sentiment out and scissors to cut out the cap.

I created another one in red, as I was mistaken about the college colors (that would have been so embarrassing!). LOL

Here's the card:

Another cute sketch from the Clean & Simple blog this week!  You may view the challenge and all the cards created with it here:

I'm a bit disappointed with my lighting on my photo.... cause it doesn't reflect the true colors of Elegant Eggplant, Glimmer Gold and Whisper White on this card. Oh well..... imagine a deep purple with gold and crisp white! lol! Royal colors indeed!

I used My Digital Studio software to create this card.  The Glimmer Kit with it's gold trim created a lovely border around my piece. The hats....along with the sentiment is from the Stamp Brush Set - Go Graduate Plus.... isn't it great to be able to mirror stamps, as well as, make them bigger or smaller to fit your needs!  The font I used is called 'AtLastGreetings'.  I printed all this on Whisper White cardstock and then attached it to a piece of Elegant Eggplant.

Thanks for taking a peek!
