Graduation Greeting Inspiration With Mimi

Sharon Y.1 Comment

Hi friends! Graduation season is here and we have just the perfect handmade greeting card inspiration you need!

Mimi chose the adorable piggy from Celebration – Digital Stamp, combined it with the graduation hat and the ‘congratulations’ sentiment from To A New Beginning – Digital Stamp, printed them all on 80lb. white cardstock.

The great thing about digital stamps is they you can easily mix & match and scale them to your liking!

She die cut her panel using the large die from Dots Meet Dashes Large Rectangles Overlays – Stand-Alone Die. She also stamped out the large and bold sentiment, ‘You Got This’, from Everyday Sentiments using Distress Oxides in Kitsch Flamingo, Wild Honey, Salvaged Patina. She die cut two layers using its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts and stacked them for the added dimension.

I love the trios of sequins and the ink blended back panel in coordinating colors to finish off her card!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to those who are graduating, and if you know someone who is, why not make them a card and put a smile on their face! Thanks so much Mimi, your card is so adorable!

Hi guys! An early Happy British Columbia Day to all! As a Canadian shop, we’re celebrating this special day with a 15% OFF sitewide, today and tomorrow!

Today I have a card for you featuring multiple stamps and dies from different releases!

To set the scene, I used the body of the Home Sweet Home stand-alone die cut on The Sandstone Series – Cool Granite – Heavy Weight Premium Cardstock. I blended Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink onto it for some added shadowing. I then cut out the roof using the Mysterious Galaxy – Medium Weight Premium Cardstock. This cardstock has a subtle shimmer to it and I like it a lot for the roof!

I took some patterned paper and The Sandstone Series – Banana Boat – Premium Fine Paper to mimic wallpapers on the inside of the home.

I stamped and Copic colored images from multiple stamp sets, including Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2), Sweet Ride, Lucky Break, Bee Happy, Cuddly Sheeps Seasons’ Greetings, Rabbit Café, Summer Sunshine, My BFF, and Congratulations!

I took the adorable girl from Sweet Ride and the cute bunny from Happy Track and Field (Chapter 2) and placed them inside the home, looking out the window and the door. I took the boy from Lucky Break and place him in front of the house.

I then placed the tiny bee from Bee Happy on the window sill, and bells from Cuddly Sheep’s Season’s Greetings on the door for some extra décor!

I also gave the little bunny a rose which was from the My BFF stamp set!

I thought the home needed more decorations, so I stamped the plants from Rabbit Café multiple times, and used them as potted plants in front of this home.

I used sentiments from the Congratulations stamp set to finish off this card. I did some masking to make “Congratulations” into a short-form “Congrats!” as I thought the full version was a bit long for this card, and I’m happy with how it turned out!

For the final touch, I added the smiley sunshine from the Summer Sunshine stamp set to give the card a little warmth!

I hope you like today’s card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

And don’t forget, we are working hard on our next release, and we hope to bring you some new goodies real soon!

Colourful Congratulations Card with Ashley Y.

Sharon Y.Leave a comment

Hi everyone! Today Ashley Y. is back to share with us the most charming Congratulations card!

I love the rainbow colours she used for this card! She blended the card using the Vintage Basket Penguin Perfect Patterns – Designer Stencil. She started with the red Distress Oxide ink, and then rotating the card by 45 degrees in between each colour, until all 8 colours were applied.

She used the sentiment “Congratulations”, and “I’M TRULY HAPPY FOR YOU” from our earlier stamp set Congratulations. I love how the centre portion was masked off so that it creates some white space for the sentiments to ‘pop’!

Check out her video tutorial on our YouTube channel and give it a LIKE!

Thank you so much Ashley for this beautiful creation! I really love the rainbow colour on this card!

Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful day!
