2021 Graduation Cards

I needed to make a few graduation cards for family & friends. I used the same template for both but changed the focal colour to match their school colours.

The card base was die cut using the Brick & Mortar 3D EF. After I embossed it, I lightly ran the Basic White craft ink pad over it to add a little dimension to the bricks. I die cut the numbers using the retired Large Number dies. I used Basic Gray & retired Galvanized Metallic paper for the numbers. The accents are also retired items; but they give a simple masculine bling that I was looking for.

New Home

I needed to create a New Home/Congrats card for a coworker who just bought her new home. I cased this one from Pinterest. The cute home was die cut from the retired Trimming the Town DSP using the Coming Home dies. I used the coordinating Trimming the Town DSP for the playful polka dot accent. The background was embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D EF.

Happy Birthday Mom!
