A Graduation and a Card

Hi Everyone,

we had a big celebration on Sunday - our daughter graduated Biomedical Engineering with highest honors (summa cum laude) from college!!!!! Yeahhh! We are so excited! She always was an outstanding student and she still is. I made that card for her:




I made the graduation cap with a diamond die by Lifestyle Crafts and just cut the bottom part by hand. Made the tassel with embroidery gold thread an dadded some left over sequins from aprior project. The gold dots I  made with a stamp by  Avery Elle - Circle it and WOW embossing powder. The die cut sentiment is by Papertrey.

Here is our daughter showing off her decorated cap:


And here are both of my kids in front of the Biomedical Engineering building on Campus:




Another view of my card:


I am linking up with:
Curtain call - Totally Tassel
Friday Mashup - all about grads
The Pink Elephant - Graduation

    


And I have another card to share, but for the info (and the video) - YES, I made a Video!!! - you have to visit the Spotlight Projects over at STAMPlorations


Happy Stamping!

Was für eine schöne Tochter hast du!!! Toll sieht sie aus.
Ich gratuliere dir zu ihr und ihr zur bestandenen Prüfung und allem was damit zusammenhägt.
Dein Sohn ist ja auch ein knuffiges Kerlchen. Dem sitzt der Schalk im Nacken oder???
Deine Karten sind mal wieder wunderbar. Ich weiß ich wiederhole mich immerzu, aber ich weiß keine passenderen Vokabeln dafür.
Liebe Grüße,
Flo

Crazy. Awed by your card at Curtain Call in the gallery. Came to say how classy it is. Awed by the fact that you have a daughter - I hadn't registered that! I only knew about your son and figured he was quite a bit younger. Wow! How proud you must be. And congratulations to her! That's quite an achievement.

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
