Gold Star Graduation Card With Front Flap Gift Card Holder

Hello My Stampin' Friends, It's Graduation Season and I have loads of inspiration for you over in my Project Gallery.   Be sure to visit my Website Frequently so you stay up to date on my projects. I share load of great projects there - as well as on my Pinterest Boards and my Facebook Page & Group.  You can follow those through the links at the bottom of this post. Here is my most recent Graduation project share:

I created my Graduation Cap by cutting a pair of layering Squares, with my paper trimmer, using an embossing folder to emboss the top layer, then adhering them together.  The Tassel was cut with the Birthday Celebrations Die and added to the cap with a punched circle and glue dots.

So Easy!!!  You can use any fun embossing folder.  I kept mine simple as the star pattern was so busy.  If you use a simpler pattern, or a plain card front, you can have fun and really dress up the Cap.  Just as the Graduates tend to do!

This card contains a Gift Card/Cash Pocket.

You can actually create the pocket or not.

The choice is yours.

All you need to do is create a traditional card, score the front flap toward the right edge - going as far in as you wish your pocket to be - fold the new flap in, then add tear tape to the top and bottom edges and seal closed. Now, you have a pocket!  Easy peasy!

The right edge of the inside flap will be seen when the card is closed so, be sure to dress it up.  You can add coordinating DSP to the pocket as well, as I show here in my card, if you wish.  If you are not using it as a pocket, seal it completely and you can leave it blank so as not to draw attention to it. 

I have provided a complete project supply list, 

for this card, below.  

It includes links to each currently available item in my Online Store.

Note that I have used some stamps and paper from my stash so I have shared an alternate stamp set that will be a perfect replacement for the ones I've used.

Easter Blessings For Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello My Stampin' Friends,

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop!

For my project, I have created a Fun Fold with the Everyday Arches Dies.

I admit, I found this card online and CASE'd it the first chance I had.

I do not remember who the original creator was so, if you know, 

please share.  I'd love to give credit where credit is due!

I used the Everyday Arches to create a window in the card front and then inserted a card that was created with the same size Arch die.

The Arch-shaped card is attached to the inside of the main card

so that it can "open" through the window.

You can do this with any shape you have in your collection.

But I'm addicted to these arches.

I did not have the Faith Collection Bundle at the time I created this card

( I do now though! )

so I created my cross with strips of embossed Basic White cardstock and embossed them with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder - which is 50% Off right now in my Online Store!

I really like the subtle glow that blending some Lemon Lolly ink behind the Cross created.

What do you think?

Is this a card you'd like to try?

You can order your supplies by clicking either of the

Wildflower Birthday Balloons For The Stamping With Friends Floating Hexagon Blog Hop

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today, I am Blog-Hopping with Friends and you will Love our theme:

Floating Hexagon Fun Fold Cards.

Each of us have created a unique card to share with you.  

I can't wait to hop along with you and see the other entries.

My card features the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Papers with the included Die Cuts. I Love that Stampin' Up! has started including these sheets for us to play with! It makes creating our projects so easy - but they look like we took a lot of time to create them.

Here is my Card:

 

I chose the Large Balloons die-cut, from the paper pack, 

because it was the perfect size for my card.

It "floats" on a Window Sheet panel to give it support. 

I added a beautiful Bow to my balloons,

as well as a touch of Wink Of Stella, to dress up the card.

This is one of my most favorite Ribbons.  

I hope it sticks around for a long, long time.

My greeting is from the Best Family Ever stamp set.

It was the perfect size, and font, for the card. Don't you agree?

I finished it off with a few Glossy Dots.  

They added the right finishing touch.

I have provided a complete project supply list 

for you below.  

It includes link to each item and you can print it as well.

Everyday Arches Fruit Pop Shaped Cards With Fruit Salad DSP

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

I have a super-fun Fruit-Pop Shaped Card for you today.

Do you remember the April 2021 So Cool Paper Pumpkin Kit?

Well, I still have 2 full kits.

I immediately thought of the Popsicle Cards when I was cutting my Fruit Salad DSP for my Simply Sparkling Wobbler Cards.

I used the Everyday Arches Dies to create my card bases.

Just like I did for this card.

I am going to add another "stick" to the back flap though.

I don't like how it's just floating there.  

I simply don't feel like re-doing my photos, LOL,

so imagine I've done so. Hahaha.

Shop my Online Store, following this link, 

to qualify for my current Ordering Special:
https://www.stampinup.com/?hostcode=SVBWJYRH

Or, click the photos above 

to go directly to my Project Gallery 

which has links for the supplies you will need.

Update:

I fixed my cards and I feel so much better now.  LOL.

I was able to add another stick tucked up under the inside panel.  

When the card is closed, they line-up together perfectly.

Don't you think this totally completes the card?
