Celebrate Grad!

#stampinup  I still need to make a few more graduation cards--there are so many high school and college grads in my life! It's a blessing to know these special young people...and one mom who returned to school and got her degree after her kids finished school. You go, girl!

The color challenge at this week's Create with Connie & Mary was a great inspiration for my final batch of graduation cards.



I started with a Lost Lagoon card base and added a Hello Honey mat. Next, I used Lost Lagoon ink to stamp two rows of flags from the "Celebrate Today" stamp set on the corner of a Whisper White panel.

I stamped one balloon in Hello Honey onto Whisper White card stock and added "graduation" in Lost Lagoon. I cut this out with the matching Balloon Framelits. I also cut a So Saffron balloon with the framelits and stamped the dots on top with So Saffron ink.

Then, I cut a 1" strip of So Saffron card stock, flagged the end with the Banner Triple Punch, and stamped the word "celebrate" in Lost Lagoon.

I attached the balloons with Stampin' Dimensionals and tied a bow with a length of Whisper White Baker's Twine.
