Hey everyone! I hope you are having a nice weekend. The temperature has "dropped" to the upper 70s here today and it feels so nice out! We just came home from our neighbor's house. They were hosting a graduation party for their son and I wanted to share with you the card I made. I'm also submitting this for the Summer Celebration theme for SU Only Challenges.
I also have two extra cards that I made with the Places You'll Go stamp set. Today's color combo is a fun one - and perfect for the guys. Dapper Demin, Delightful Dijon and Emerald Envy.
I had the idea of using the globe for the zero in "2016" and I love the way it turned out.
I used the new Copper Emboss Powder - so awesome! Gives the globe that vintagy-rust look I think.
I also wanted to make this card a money holder. I hadn't made on in awhile. Actually, I'm not sure if I've ever made one, but it's easy peasy. The card stock was cut to 10"x6.5"... Scored at 4"& 8". The 2" piece I rounded the corners with the PL Corner Punch.
For the inside I carried over the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge (also used the splatter on the numbers) and the same striped Emerald Envy piece from the 2016-2018 In Color DSP stack.
Since this was a rather unusual size of a card, I needed a special envelope. I like the idea of a vellum envelope, so I used my Envelope Punch Board and made a custom one!
I wrapped the envelope with Emerald Envy baker's twine and used the new Laberler Alphabet for the tag. I love the typeset font! (The little airplane is cute too!)
I was very pleased with the graduation card. I might be a little brave and do something very similar for our card class tomorrow.
If I chicken out, one of these two cards will work as a graduation card too!
Have you seen this new embossing folder? It's called Seaside. I think it's a beautiful pattern and fun for all kinds of cards!
I hope you enjoyed these cards! I have to do some more planning, but I believe this set will be my next Stamps in the Mail kit. Stay tuned!
Thanks so much for stopping by on your Sunday! Hope you have a wonderful week! :)
