Hello friends! I'm popping in today with a second post to share the card I made for this weekend's Project Inspiration feature for Papertrey Ink! Graduation is definitely on the horizon and will be here before we know it! I have a few cards leftover from last year, but I found out about an exciting graduation happening in a few weeks, so I wanted to make one just for the occasion!
Rather than use school colors, I decided to go full-out feminine and fun for this one and I love how it turned out!
I'll share step-by-step photos and instructions on how I made this card!
Step 1: Foil an A2 panel of True Black cardstock using the Fresh Greens Hot Foil Plate and champagne foil. Trim it down closely around the tips of the foiled leaves. Mount it to a top-folding A2 Vintage Cream card base using foam squares.
Step 2: Cut the frame from Ocean Tides cardstock using the Framed in Success Die and attach it to the base using foam squares.
Step 3: Stamp the sentiment in black using the Framed in Success Stamp Set. Cut the books from white and then add Harvest Gold, Pale Peony, and Ocean Tides ink over the top. Stamp the book titles in pigment gold ink. Attach them to the frame with small strips of foam tape.
Step 4: Cut the flowers and leaves from white using the Into the Blooms: Anemones Die. Color the with ink and blender brushes. Cut the cap using the same die as the books and frame. Attach them to the frame.
Step 5: Cut the banner using the Hold That Thought Die. Heat emboss the sentiment and then glue the glitter numbers using liquid glue. Attach it with foam squares.
Step 6: Add glitter and die cut stars to finish off the design!
I realized later I stamped the book titles upside down, BUT in Sweden and the Netherlands, this is how they are printed, so I'm just going with it! ha ha!
I always love the gold cardstock for the center of the flowers!
Thanks for fluttering by!
