Congratulations, Graduate Meets Full of LIfe

Shimmery Gold and Black header with words Stampin' Dreams blog hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. We are a group of demonstrators from around the world that enjoy creating projects and sharing them with others. Today our theme is Graduation.

I created a fun card using the bright colors from the Full of Life papers along with several stamps from the Cap & Gown stamp set. In my opinion, this is the perfect graduation set. It has everything you need to make a variety of graduation cards.

Instructions for Congratulations, Graduate card

Cut a Night of Navy card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″. Fold and burnish.
Cut your starburst paper to 5″ x 3 3/4″ being sure to cut equal dimensions off each side. So first cut to 5 1/2″ width and then trim the second 1/2″ from the other side. This keeps the starburst centered.
To arrive at a 3 3/4″ height you will cut 1 1/8″ off the top and then the same off the bottom.
Mat the starburst paper on a piece of Basic White cut 5 1/4″ x 4″. Adhere both to the front of the car base.
Use the largest Stylish Shapes square to die cut a white square. Stamp the hands and the sentiment directly on this with Memento ink.
Color the sleeves with Light and Dark Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blends. Use the Light skin tones for the hand.
Stamp the large mortar board cap on a scrap of Basic White and color with the Blueberry Blends and Wild Wheat for the tassel. Fussy cut.
Adhere the Stylish Shapes square to a Night of Navy Mat cut 1/4″ larger. Pop this up on the front of the card.
Add the mortar board cap to the upper right corner with dimensionals and glue.
Use the two strips you cut from the sides of the paper on the inside of the card as shown.
Stamp the sentiment centered between these strips.
