Fly High and Soar

Hello and welcome back! I have been busy as I am sure most of you have been too now that Spring seems to have arrived in Missouri. Today I have a Congratulations card to share with you that uses the soon to be retired Perfect Punches Stamp Set and the Swallowtail Stamp Set. The colors I picked are Pool Party, Whisper White and Soft Suede. I stamped the Swallowtail with Versamark then embossed with the Pool Party Embossing Powder. The sentiment is done the same way then punched out with the Modern Label Punch which is layered on a Large Oval Punch is Soft Suede then a label made with the also soon to be retiring Lots of Tags Sizzlits. I added Soft Suede Taffetta Ribbon and a few pearls for just an extra finishing touch. This card will be perfect for Graduation or an upcoming wedding. Not sure which yet but it will be used soon. Thanks for stopping by and remember that time is running out to pick up the retiring items. Don't wait and wish you had ordered. Tonya

Kindergarten Graduation Card

Since my youngest graduated from Kindergarten this last week he of course needed a card to help celebrate the milestone and believe me it is a milestone. I wanted to keep the card simple yet fun and bright. I used Crushed Curry, Real Red and Ballet Blue which is a cheerful combo. The stamp set that I used is Starry You and is a favorite of mine for the boy cards that I often have to make. I also used Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon, Large Star and Star Punch and the Large Oval Punch. The card stock colors are Real Red, Ballet Blue, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. There is one Silver Brad added to the center of the stars to add a little accent. The graduate loved his card and is so proud that he graduated. The card really went together rather quickly which is always great when time is short. Remember that if you want to place an order for the retiring colors that it is as easy as placing an order online or sending me an email. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back again. Tonya

Graduation Card with MDS!

Hello to all! It has been a busy last few days. We had two graduations, a graduation lock in and company visiting, so sorry for no posts lately. Today I want to share with you the graduation card that I made for my wonderful daughter this week. She graduated from the 8th Grade this week. The card I made does not have any stamping on it. I didn't have a graduation set that I wanted to use so I purchased the Go Graduate Plus Stamp Brush Set, printed off the image of the graduates feet and the sentiment on Whisper White Card Stock and then watercolored the graduate image with blender pen and Aquapainter. The card stock used is Ballet Blue, Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Black. I used the Scallop Edge Punch, and Real Red Gingham Ribbon. You might notice the texture on the top portion of the card and this is made with the Stampin'Up! Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the new Summer Mini. The other little element that I added is the mini diploma that I made just by rolling a small piece of Whisper White Card Stock up and using a Mini Glue Dot to hold it in place. I hope you like today's card and see just how easy it is to use the My Digital Studio Downloads. If you would like a complete list of downloads available please let me know. Oh, I forgot to mention that they are so quick to get because there is no shipping time just purchase the Digital Download that you want, download it to your computer and it is ready to use. Busy day again tomorrow but I will post later in the day. Thanks and have a great day, Tonya
