Congrats Grad With Kara ft. The Crew: School Days

Hi! It's Kara and it's that time of year again! The school year is winding down and kids are graduating. The student I have interpreted for over the past 9 years is graduating this year! I am so proud of her, but I'm sad to say goodbye.

I created this card with a mix of elements from Smart Kitty and The Crew: School Days. I started by stamping the one stack of books in the center. I then masked it off and started stamping the stacks in a pyramid formation masking stacks as necessary. In all, I needed 4 masks that I could reposition as needed to create this pyramid of books.

I created one more stack of books. This time I die cut it and popped it up on top of the center stack. I knew I wanted my graduate to stand on that stack to symbolize her education lifting her up into the clouds. The cap from Smart Kitty (now retired, but if you have it in your stash...) it was the perfect size for the girl from School Days! I love how she seems to be waving goodbye too. Off to college!

I added a sentiment from Smart Kitty stamped onto the smallest rectangle from the 4 Bar Stitched Rectangle dies.

I love this one and I hope you do too! Thanks so much for stopping by!

For The Grad

Hello! Graduation season is upon us. This is Kara and where I live graduation is just a few weeks away. Since I interpret in a high school I need a few graduation cards for some special students.

WPlus9 has an adorable set called Smart Kitty that was designed with the graduate in mind. However, there is another set that I think is perfect for this occasion. Dream Believer is full of inspirational messages perfect for someone embarking on a new phase of life.  I've used both sets today along with a few others.

I started by creating a pattern with a small stamp from the Papel Picado set using Ocean Drive, Wild Mango, and Mojito dye ink. On top of my stamped pattern I added this quote from Dream Believer in Black dye ink.

I decided to add this adorable panda from Friends For All Seasons to draw your attention to the quote. He's wearing a graduation cap and tassel die cut and stamped with Smart Kitty.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a great weekend!
