Welcome back on this wet and wild Tuesday! It was a stormy commute home for me today and quite the crazy drive. It seems like people forget how to drive in the rain when we haven’t had any for more than a week! But I made it home in one piece, even if it took far longer than it needed to.
We’re continuing our design series that’s all about the grads. And today’s card is a nod to one of the local high schools. One of the fun things we can do as crafters is tailor our designs with things like school colors. in this case, we’re using a combo of navy, white, and orange. And we’re pairing up two retired goodies to make this cutie — the School Days stamps set and the Wanted to Say dies.
We get started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock. a panel of white cardstock serves as the base for the focal panel, where we repeatedly stamp the cap from the School Days stamp set in navy. Our focal panel is matted with Timid Tiger. Then we wrap the panel with Timid Tiger ribbon and tie in a knot to one side. We’re using the Wanted to Say dies to create our celebrate sentiment using a combination of Peach Pie glimmer paper and navy Garden Textures foil paper. The sentiment is adhered above the ribbon with dimensionals. A few Timid Tiger dots finish things off.
I’ll be participating in a craft show the weekend after graduation and I’m hoping there will be some locals who are still on the lookout for graduation cards for parties that weekend. We’ll be continuing our grad theme tomorrow. I hope you’ll drop in and see what’s next.
