Grad Cap Cards

I found these very cute graduation cap templates for cards at several different sites including The Cutting Cafe and Disney Family Fun.  I chose to use the one from The Cutting Cafe as it was a little smaller and the front and back were already connected.  Also, at The Cutting Cafe, you get the 'Happy Graduation' sentiment and an envelope to download.  It is a little hard to tell, but the second card is black and silver.

If you've seen my other posts, you will know that my oldest is graduating high school in a week.  So, I'm thick into graduation cards for his closest friends not to mention graduation announcements.   So much stamping, so little time!  WHEW!  And, another new challenge for me.....a tent card thanks to Crazy4Challenges #39 this week.  Really easy as pie and really fun to make!  REALLY!  ;)  The tutorial they posted is from Just Magnolia Blog.  I will definitely use this one again.  I love the ShyBear from Squigglefly digital stamps.  He's so cute.  I printed him on white cardstock and regal rose and then paper pieced the ribbon and graduation cap with the rose color.

CONGRATS! - Joy Fold Card

I haven't been in a very creative mood this week.  Think the soccer traveling is beginning to wear on me.  And of course, with graduation season upon us (my oldest graduates high school in June), Mother's Day AND Father's Day, it's not a good time for a creative block!

I did try a different special fold card today, a Joy Fold Card.  I found it over at Stamp Simply where this week's challenge is to make a Joy Fold Card.  Above is the tutorial from Splitcoaststampers that I used.  I modified my sizes a bit but it was really easy to do.  I was also going to make a gift card holder to place in the center flap, but I ran out of time.  The card was for my son's best friend's graduation party tonight and I didn't get a chance until this morning to sit down and make it.  So, as in some cases, best thought plans sometimes go awry.
