Congratulations!......{MCT Throwback Thursday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another MCT DT post.

Today is Throwback Thursday and I am showcasing  perfect set for graduation season

Grad Night

Take a look at my card and let me know what you think.....

I made this card for my son's girlfriend who is graduating this year. Can you guess our school colors...LOL
I wanted to make this card CAS to have the focal point all on the grad hat.
To make my card I used a white cardstock base, added a layer of black cardstock and red designer paper both die cut using the More Stitched Rectangular Dies.
I used the Grad Night set to stamp the sentiment onto the designer paper and they die cut the grad hat in our school colors.
I popped the grad hat up onto a Stitched Circle die and the popped the circle die cut onto the card front.
I simple white Trendy Twine bow completed my card.
The perfect graduation card that can be used for any school simply by changing up the color combo.

As always, thanks for stopping by my blog!
Make sure to head over to the MCT blog for more inspiration!
Have a GREAT Thursday!!

Next I die cut 2 of the Stitched Squares Inside and Out, layered them and stamped the sentiment from the new release set~ Grad Night.
Next I die cut the 2017 using the numbers from the Stitched 4x6 Journal Die, adhered those to the squares and then die cut the grad cap from the new Grad Night Set
To finish my card, I added a few banners from the Ribbon End Banners set and some random enamel dots.

How adorable is this little worm?? Love him with his new grad hat...LOL!!

To make my card I used the new set~ Grad Night~ the cutie worm, grad hat and sentiment along with the set~ Thanks for the Lift for the banner for the sentiment. I also used my favorite die~Stitched Rectangular Frame Die for the card mat.

Look Whoo's Graduating.....{PKS Sketch Challenge}

 Good Morning  everyone!

 Can you believe it is June already?

OMG I can not get over how FAST the months are flying by!!

Which brings us to another Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch challenge! 

Remember these challenges run for about 2 weeks so there is plenty of time to play along with us!!

Here is the new sketch...

And here is my take on it!

With graduation season upon us, and myself having a 5th grader moving up to the middle school, I thought using the sketch to make a graduation card would be perfect.
I love the Peachy Keen Stamp set~ Smartie the Owl, such a cute owl image, adorable eyes and great matching sentiments. 
So for my card, I used an SVG Cutting Files cut~ Graduation Owl and stamped one of the sets of eyes in place of the cut. Once he was all assembled, I set him aside to put the rest of my card together.
Following the sketch, I used designer papers from Doodlebug Designs~ The Graduate and My Creative Time~ Stitched 3x4 Journal Die as well as the new My Creative Time~Bunch of Fun Circles die for the ribbon in which my owl sits. The sentiment is also from the PKS~ Smartie the Owl set which I stamped onto the journal die cut. I embellished my card using some glittery enamel dots and tied a cute mini bow onto the graduation hat using some Totally White Trendy Twine.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and take on the sketch. I would LOVE to see you play along with the new challenge!!
You can find out all the details by heading over to the Peachy Keen Blog as well as see the inspiration from the other DT members!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

I will be back later with Day 1 of sneaks for the new 

Peachy Keen Stamps June Release! 

OMG Kathy has done it yet again!

You guys are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!

Class of 2013.........{The Kraft Journal}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

This week's challenge is... 

Clean and Simple or CAS

and anyone who know me and my style, knows that this is one of my favorites!!!

Anyways it is graduation season so I thought I would get a jump on making some graduation cards...Here is one of I am sure a few more to come :)

Hope you like it!

So here is what I did.... I started out with a Brown Kraft Cardstock base and added a mat of black and white cardstock (all from my stash). I had this beautiful paper kit from "DCVW~ Graduation" that I used to layer the bottom of my mat. To cover the break from the pattern paper and white cardstock, I added some Black Twill Tape, a double bow of Natural Hemp Cord and embellished with a Custom Fastener  blinged out with some gold stickles.

Finally I used My Creative Time~Follow Your Dreams stamp set for the sentiment and numbers. 

So there you have it....my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!
