Graduation time...

I needed 6 graduation cards for kids from our church.

We had a reception for them following church so I needed them all at the same time.

Only one card was started the day before I needed them.

What is it they say..."If it weren't for the last minute, a lot of things would not get done."

I like how the black card stock sets off the other colors so I used black on each card.

This graduation card was made for a graduate who lives to fish!
This was the perfect stamp for him.

I stamped in black on craft card stock.

Only two colors of ink were used so it made up fast but very nice looking.

This card was made for someone who loves horses and western things.

Again, a perfect stamp for him.

When a layout works...and you need 6 cards in about 1 hour.....go with it!

I was happy with this layout and just changed a few flowers & colors.

A few of them were stamped before embossing with the Cuddlebug embossing folders.

(By the way...these work in Stampin' Up!'s BIG SHOT!

Also, I stamped the diploma and hat a 2nd time for each to cut out and apply with Stampin' dimensionals. The diploma is tied with gold cord.

I made this card another day for my friend's daughter & made it in her school colors.

Again...the same layout worked.
