Happy Grad~~

Good morning! It's that time of year, when Grads are gearing up for the next phase of their lives! I have a grad this year myself, and I couldn't be more proud of her! She is a gem of a daughter and so beautiful, inside and out! I always told my kids, "it is more important to be pretty on the inside than the outside"! Fortunately, this girl is both!

For this rather simple card, I started with black CS, stamped the greeting on the bottom front with white Craft ink by SU! The punch used on the gray square is the new Scallop Trim Border punch bu SU! I added the grad cap embossed with black powder, some PTI ribbon, popped the whole thing up with Dimensional's (SU!) and ta-da! Fast and easy, which is good since I made 8 of these!

I'm certain you know at least one graduate this season! Be sure they hear from you, and if it's been a while since you sent someone a card, encourage them today! After all, that's why we make these cards isn't it?

Link to SU color changes!

Hi there! Since I am not so savvy with linking stuff on my side bar, I thought I would hook you up with someone who is! Below is a link to a fun Stampn' Up blog that you will enjoy, and who also has the color changes as a link on her side bar! Go check them out! I am unable to print these out for my club girls, but hopefull your computer will not have the same issues mine does!
