Look “Hoo’s” Graduating…

Author: May 18, 2009 4 Comments

Graduation Owl Card Ok, so it's been a super long weekend and I did get LOTS done! I am really liking how this card came out! Guess what?? It's not a Side or Stair Step Card! LOL!!!  My friend Sharon has crowned me not only "Queen" of step cards but I am now the "Ambassador" per her comment on the post below. LOL!!  I Love it…Oh and yes she will be right behind me. You've got to check out her card HERE! Ok, so where was I???

Oh, yes this card was a fun one to make using Stampin' Up!'s great punches. Again I'm using my daughter's School colors.  I got this idea from our Stampin' success magazine we get every month. There was the cute lil "Owl" staring at me ; ) it was created by Lyssa Zwolanek. Be on the look out for more of this little guy as He is very addicting to make. Next time I make him his feet are going to be either Only Orange or Pumpkin pie. I think the Tango Tangerine is too Orangey? Or is it just me? Hmmm!!!!

Supplies used: All Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Stamp Set: Great Grads
Cardstock: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray, Basic Black, Whisper White, So saffron (beak), Tango Tangerine (feet), Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Basic Black, Basic Gray
Accessories: Grograin Ribbon, SU Punches – Scallop, 1 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 (retired) circle punches, Small Tag, Boho Blossoms (feet), 5-petal Flower (beak), Round Tab & word window, Dimensionals

Ok, I think that's it. Back to more stampin!

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stampin',

Graduation “Side” Step Card

Author: May 16, 2009 2 Comments

Grad Side Step Card Happy Saturday All!  Well I've been busy over the last week! ; )  As I mentioned I'm getting ready for the Vista "Chocolate Festival". 

So anyways in between all that I'm making Grad Cards for my Daughter to see which one she likes..and with Graduation just around the corner.. .YIKES! I'll be up late these next few weeks.

Ok, so on with the details of this card. Super fun and once you do a few very easy to make.

Everything used is Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted!

Stamp Set: Great Grad & (retired) Bold numbers! LOVE these numbers!
Card-stock: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray, Whisper White
Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Going Gray & Basic Black
Accessories: SU! Punches, Big Shot Bigz Pennant Die, DD Glitter, Ribbon

I would LOVE to see your creations! Download Directions HERE!  As I mentioned before the directions I got from Kate Wilson & Jackie Topa's site!  OH – Quick Tip you want to make the Slit First…so you would have the 5 1/2 side up against your cutter and line it up to the 2…then go down to 2 1/8 start your slit and end at 7 1/2.  I hope that made sense! If not email me with any questions you may have!

Ok, on my way to a Birthday Party! 

Have a great day & Happy Stampin',
