Beautiful Graduation Cards

 Since I am laid up, I have been stamping for me this week. From Stampin' Up! Kits to using stamp sets and dies that I have to make some really pretty graduation cards. The cards turned out so pretty, I am kind of proud of them to say the least.

Here are the cards:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SETS: (A variety of Congratulatory stamps for the Inside)

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Pumpkin Pie or Pretty in Pink or Shy Shamrock; Black, Splash of Sparkles DSP, Gold Foil

ACCESSORIES: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Square Punch, Dimensionals, Gold Gems, Wanted to Say Dies (Celebrate), Beautiful Balloons Die (Tassel)

When I got this DSP, I really had no idea what to do with it, but when making the cards, I wanted some gold to make the card special and this worked so great.

Thanks for stopping in, hope to see you again.

Cindy

I Guess I Have Come Full Circle

 I can remember when I first started stamping, I use to stamp on this small table in our living room. I didn't have a lot of supplies so I just kept it all in a bin by my feet. Later I would move into my son's old bedroom and go from there. You may have heard that I sprained my ankle and am having a bit of a challenge getting around. Yesterday I decided that I wanted to stamp in the living room so that I could put my foot up. So out came the little table and a Stampin' Up! Kit.

Here we are:

The name of the kit is Lots to Love Kit, and it was so much fun to put together. You can stamp whatever you want or need on the inside. It is a really pretty kit for spring. I am so glad that I was able to craft today, it made me feel better on the inside. My ankle is coming along, it just is going to take some time.

Today I have the Butterfly Garden Kit to work on, I will let you know how that turns out, but I am really looking forward to it. If you want to see the cards up close, turn in to my Facebook Live on Monday at 5:30 p.m.  You can find me under Cindy's Stamping Studio on Facebook.

Have a great day and take care.

Cindy
