2016-05-24 09.20.37Hi Guys! Come on in and see what I’m doing today!

I am making the 8th Grade Graduation Cards 2016 version. I’m a middle school Computer Applications teacher and have an 8th grade homeroom. They are the absolutely best students I have ever had in my homeroom and deserve something extra special (they love Target gift cards!). I made similar graduation cards last year, but I switched the colors a bit – they are really easy and impressive!

2016-05-24 09.21.23Here are the Close To My Heart White Daisy card bases with red glitter cardstock attached to them – check out all that glitter! I Love It!!!!

2016-05-24 09.22.00I glued the gift cardholder to the inside of the card and wrote a quote from LeeAnn Womack’s “I Hope You Dance” song – lyrics that are always appropriate for someone beginning a new journey. I like to handwrite the inside rather than print it – makes it more personal, don’t you think?

2016-05-24 09.22.40I punched a 2 1/2” circle out of CTMH White Daisy cardstock and stamped a sentiment from a Studio Calico stamp set using Color Box dye ink in Moody Blue. Then I used Stickles on “sparkle” to make it stand out.
2016-05-24 09.23.18I used pop dots to attach the circle to the red glitter cardstock – mmmmmm, all that glittery goodness . . .

And that’s it! A really easy, simple card that goes together quickly and looks incredible!!!!!!!

As always, I’m Livin’ the Moments . . .
