Graduation cards...

My sister and I made similar graduation cards this year, so I thought I'd share them both with you.

Here's my sister's card:

I love all the detail she added: the embossed numbers, the mortar board and the "Congrats" banner tied around the zero. Such a nice touch!

My card is a lot plainer. I cut the numbers and their shadow from the George cartridge. Using the school colors of maroon and gold, I adhered them on a black mat for a bit of contrast. Since it was for a girl, I simply added a little bling.

Now when I look at it, it looks awfully plain! I guess I should have added some embossing, too!!

Here's an angle shot so you can see the bling a little better. I welded the gold shadow letters together using my Gypsy, but cut the maroon letters separately.

The inside seems a little too plain, too. Some embossing would have been nice here, as well. Guess I need to go visit my sister and take a few lessons on making cards!  When can I come, Michelle?


I have another graduation card to share with you, but will do that in another post.  Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
