Tin of Cards Project Kkit

The Tin of Cards Project Kit comes with a great tin and fun dividers.  The cards aren't bad and can be made with whatever greeting you choose.  I forgot to photograph them, but you can see them on the  cover of the new catalog and on p.152

Prize Time Projects, part 1

Celebrate card

 This was one of my favorites.  We used the new photopolymer set Wild About Flowers and the new Watercolor Wash background stamp.  I love using the mini stapler to attach things.  I didn't think I liked the new IC dotted lace ribbon, but it's great!  Very pliable and easy to work with.  The corrugated paper is fun too and adds interesting texture.  The expressions natural elements add a quick and fun greeting.  They are another product that I didn't expect to like!

Garateful card

I was so glad we got to use the white perfect accents.  I had wanted to order them and now I don't have to, though I might need more.  We used the white corrugated paper and the new lots of labels framelits.  Those weren't on my wish list, but they are now!  I always like to add washi tape to a project. The silver thread is very fine and hard to see in the photo.  I like the way it will stay tied.  Or you can easily put down fast fuse and it will stay put without tying!

Gift Bag, lg size

We got to use the new gift bag punch board.  That was fun!  I want to try it some more.  I didn;t think I wanted it, but now I'm contemplating it.  The "large" refers to the base of the bag.  You can make any of the sizes any height you want.   That new ribbon is so easy to tie!

Framed Wall Art

This wall art was quick, easy and fun.  Elizabeth Price used an old frame she found at a good will and spray painted.  I might try that.

Framed Wall Art, closer view

The Elegant Dots TIEF very pretty.  I saw the triple banner punch in th preview and was very interested, but then decided against it.  After using it. SO EASY, I decided I do want it!

Would you be interested in making wall art?  What size?  Would you want the frame included in the class price?  Shoot me an e-mail and let me know your thoughts.

Congrats to Caroline who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, an ivy league college.  My friend Patty had asked me to make this card.  I was honored as Caroline is our friend Alexandra's daughter.  Alexandra died of renal cell cancer ten years ago.  I used to stamp with her, and then her daughter after she passed.  Caroline was only twelve at the time.  She's an engineer and I thought she'd appreciate this mechanical card.   Ok, I believe this is the last of the grad cards I have to share.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Happy Graduation Colleen!

I made Colleen's card a little wider so I could fit on the greeting I wanted.  I think I did that with Emily's card, too.  She graduated from Carondolete, but I used the colors for the college she will attend ing, Vanderbuilt, which are gold and black.

Happy Stamping!  Mary

Happy Graduation Kevin!

My friend Shelagh's son graduated from college and I made him a simply laid out card like the majority of the cards I made for my friend Patty.  See below for the last of the cards I made for her.

Congrats Sean!

My friend made a "corner pop up card" for me years ago.  She was in my club and wanted to give me a card that I hadn't shown her how to make.  She looked up the directions on SCS.  I had seen one in a Stampin' Sucess magazine, but had never made one until this year.  I don't know the official name (I couldn't find it on SCS so I dubbed it a "Corner Pop Up" card.  I thought it fitting to make one for her son's HS graduation.

My friend Patty Beck has a daughter who's graduating from UCLA this weekend.  I would hold stamp parties for her in elementary school!  Her other daughter. Emily, graduated from Carondolete two weeks ago and will attend UCLA in the fall.   I had to make something different for her!

Megan's card is a corner pop up card and Emily's is a free standing pop up card.  They both use Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Whisper white.

Below is the card Bianca made for Emily for her HS graduation.  I've made this type of card before.  Click HERE to view.  She did a great job.  I love her little diploma.  Oh darn, I forgot to take a photo with the sides open.  I think she had stamped 2015.

I have a few more grad cards to share with you next week!

Happy Stamping!  Mary
