Challenge #500 ~~ Celebrating by the Numbers.

 How can it be July already and how can it be Shopping Our Stash's 500th challenge!! Well to celebrate this occasion we want to see a celebration card with at least 1 number on it.  Lots of occasions to celebrate at this time of the year....Graduation, Canada Day (July 1st), July 4th in the U.S.A. and of course lots of birthdays and anniversaries that you can add a number to. Since I have a great grandson heading to Grade one in the fall I made him a Grad card. I am in the process of making a card for his sister who will be entering high school in September. (it would be done but I changed my plan) Have a peek at the card I made.

Since I was shopping my stash everything on this card is over 5 years old. The stamp I used is from Penny Black, and the patterned paper is Bo Bunny. The alphas/numerals are flat attached and the image is elevated with a couple of ovals of 110 lb cardstock.

Close up of the super cute hedgie, and he looks so happy.

No inside sentiment yet I want print it off the computer.

It's Tuesday!! Time for a NEW Challenge at Shopping our Stash.

Hello family, friends and followers!!! Wasn't it a gorgeously "hot" weekend, lots of sunshine here in SWO!! I had time to make a card for Shopping Our Stash!! challenge #356 ~~ Pomp and Circumstance which translates to a Graduation card or just a Congrats card will do.  I had a chance to take advantage of the Friday Freebie from Bugaboo Stamps and it was a grad. image. They have a different freebie every Friday.

Not my usual mouse image this time but it's a super cute Grad Mouse from Bugaboo Stamps,  Although the image is new I used my original spellbinders oval dies and the cardstock is probably a couple of years old.

Close up of the image.

Oh look finished with out the sentiment, I have a great grad . sentiment and  I neglected to bring it to the cottage,  Well be prepared there will be a lot of darn I forgot "something" at home, or didn't think to pack it.  I brought my big shot but only brought the magnetic platform so there went any idea of embossing the background.  I just need to pack smarter.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the Main Blog and check out what the rest of the design team have made. 

Go Graduate!!!

Hello there, it's Tuesday and my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet blog. Along with Weddings in June there are also graduations so since I had some graduation caps from Eyelet Outlet Store in my stash and I designed  a card around them. My inspiration for the card was a sketch at Mojo Monday.

I used a couple designs of washi tape, the black with gold stars and the narrow arrow along the bottom, Of course I used the graduation hats and black bead strips, they come in all colours and there are 500 in a package.

Graduation Hedgie

This is the week we have been waiting for NBUS #7 at djardkreations, I have lots of Never Been Used Schtuff, and I had to remove this one from it's plastic wrap to use it and it's from a Cuttlebug embossing folder Asian package hmm about 5 years old, and I think there are a few more in the package I haven't used too. Here is my creation.

The stamp I used is from Penny Black, I stamped, coloured and fussy cut it out and mounted it on a wobble, if I could figure out how to use my video on the camera I could show you how it worked. I found the congratulations paper on Pinterest and printed it on blue cardstock and use a stitched oval from Impression Obsessions.

Sentiment was computer generated from Verses for Cards.

New challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Critters, now i know you have lots of cute critter images, now is the time to get them out and make a Critter card or project.  I know I have a lot of cute critters, house mouse, happy hoppers, gruffies, Fluffles (the cat) and hedgehogs. I haven’t used a Penny Black hedgie stamp in a long time and decided to get a graduate card done.

Don’t you just love the little guy jumping for joy at graduating. Not much you can’t figure out from the picture but i used Daffodil delight and GP white cardstock, and a scrap of patterned paper.

Here is the finished inside using scraps I embossed both the front panel and the inside with swiss dots cuttlebug folder.
