Grad Cards - Take 2

This is my second post of graduation cards. Go to yesterday's post to see the others.

Today's cards are my favorite 2 of the 5 I made.

For this card I found a clip art photo of a football player. The boy who this card is for is a football player so I hope his mom likes this one.

For this next card, I created a faux medallion focal point. It is a very clean and simple card - very guy like!

I hope my friend likes a few of these cards. She wants 3. If you had to pick from the last five (two on this post and 3 on the previous post) which 3 would you pick????

Thanks for dropping in!

Grad Cards - Take 1

So I was asked by some ladies at work to create graduation cards for their children.

I forgot to take pictures of the ones I made for the girl, which is too bad because they were adorable!! Oh well!

I did, however, remember to photograph these ones that were made for a boy.

This first one is created using white embossing powder.

This second one was fun because I created the little mortorboard. Not my idea but saw it on SCS. I did make the little tassel myself, kinda proud of that!!

This last one was created with a bunch of circles made with masculine papers.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a few more cards - my favorites of the bunch!!

See you then,

Local High School Grad card

I totally cased this idea from SmilynStef !!! Of course I changed the school name. I saw her card and loved it. I don't actaully know anyone who is graduating from our local high school but I do have a co-worker who's son is graduating so I gave it to her and told her she could use it if she wanted to :-) She seemed to like it!!

The background is made on my computer. I printed the school name and symbols and then cut the paper so it was on a slant when I added it to the card. I have no idea if this is how Stephanie did it but that's how I did it! The rest of the card is pretty straight forward.

Supplies: Cardstock-Whisper White, Brilliant Blue (Stampin' Up!); Ink-Brilliant Blue, Basic Black (Stampin' Up!); Stamps-Sketch an Event (Stampin' Up!), Simple Little Things (Papertrey Ink); Other-Computer (which is how I made the background paper).
