Circle Circus card

I was trying to come up with a fun neutral graduation card, and kept thinking that black and red would be striking together. I wanted something easy and thought this was a fun card for graduation. I like my Circle Circus stamp set and this is what I came up with.

This was one of the cards I offered at my last class, Dads, Grads and more. You can see all three of the cards on the May 26 posting.

Don't forget to stamp the inside of your cards, I thought this was fun.

Plus with Father's Day coming up, it would work great for that too!

The Square Lattice embossing folder worked great on this card. I stamped first, then ran it through the Big Shot for a fun texture. The Word Play stamp set I used on the insides of these cards is on sale during May, SAVE 30 percent off! Check the promotions link for details.

Dad's Grads and more cards

Here are the cards I offered at my last class, Dads, Grads and more. I got one of the fun ideas from my friend Marsha. You can see her swap on the May 23 posting.

I loved The Open Sea card, but I did mine with Early Espresso instead of Cherry Cobbler. The Designer Series Paper Nautical Expedition is great! I had a hard time choosing which papers to use for the cards. I definitely want to do some scrapbooking with this paper.

Have you seen the Baker's Twine in the Summer mini catalog? I used it on this card and love it. I can see how this would be great on lots of cards, and to tie your tags for gifts. It's available in 3 different colors. I used some of the stamps from Word Play on this card, they work great with the Decorative Label punch. Word Play is one of the sets on sale this month for 30 percent off. See all the sets on sale under Stampin'Up! Promotions.

We needed a nice get well card a few weeks before class, so I came up with this tree card from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. It works great for neutral birthdays, get well or anything else. I am always looking for easy neutral cards, and I kept thinking the Circle Circus would be fun to use for a graduation cards. Black and red are so striking together, so this is what I came up with.

I like using my Big Shot dies and embossing folders with my cards. The Square Lattice embossing folder worked great on two of these cards, plus the Top Note die is a great stand by for any card. Hope you enjoy them!
