Graduation Cards

We have two family graduations that recently took place!  Perfect excuse to make cards!  I found this inspiration floating around online.  Love the final product.  Colors are dictated by the schools my cousin's sons attended....I hope they are right!

 

 

 

 

 

A Bowwow

A friend gave me the A Bowwow stamp set; she is so generous and sweet!!  So when friends of ours got new four legged family members, it seems appropriate to use this set!

Thinking of You Dragon Fly card

I made a few Thinking Of You cards for Father's Day this year.  Sadly, we know several friends who lost their Dads, and I wanted them to know we were thinking of them on their first Father's Day without their father.  I used my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the card and the dragon flies.  I embellished with pearls or gems.  My next project is to learn how to better photograph cards!

Working with Vinyl

Recently a friend gave me the courage to try cutting vinyl on my cricut.  I am so glad I did!  We got a new mailbox 2 years ago when we moved it, and I had not been able to find numbers I liked.

 I considered ordering customs vinyl numbers and eventually decided to see if I could make my own!
I was not able to find Cricut vinyl in the store in the color I wanted so I bought online at craftvinyl.com - he evens sells outdoor vinyl, which is what I wanted!  After watching a youtube video on how to do it, I was cutting and sticking!

 

 

Even decided to add a monogram to the front!

If you have not played with vinyl on your cricut, I encourage you to give it a try!  Fun and easy!
