Hats Off to the Grad!

I needed three graduation cards this weekend, and was able to combine them with three different challenges. I used the same stamp set on all three, one reason why I love stamping. Just one set can give you quite different looks. The first card is for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger and the Casual Friday color blocking challenge.

Here’s the Tuesday Trigger called Rainbow Bright:

And the Casual Friday challenge:

And the first of the graduation cards:

And a peek at the inside:

The next card, for my nephew, is based on the CPS Sketch for this week.

And my card:

The last card is probably my favorite, and it’s not for any challenge. I cut the card itself on the Silhouette, and then finished it off with my stamps and dies.

And the inside which holds a gift card. The message pulls out for a handwritten wish for the graduate.

I’m posting this late tonight instead of tomorrow morning because my friend and I are off to Buffalo early in the morning to the CKC Convention. I wasn’t planning to attend, but Mary was interested in going, so it didn’t take much to convince me. I’m taking one scrapbook course, one technique course, and one products-based course, all by companies that I admire. There’ll be a recap in a few days!
