Graduation Banner

A few weeks ago a friend asked me if I would make a banner for her daughter who is graduation from high school. The colors are royal blue and silver. She just gave me a size wanted and the name and told me I had free rain for the rest.

I went with the traditional Congratulations and her name then I added some additional banners w/ the fun graduate, diploma, class of and a few little stars.

Banners were cut at 5" w/ the shadow feature from Birthday Bash
The letters were all cut from Something to Remember at 3" - 3.2" I used my gypsy to size them accordingly.
I also did the shadow function with those.
The girl was from Paper dolls - and I used the "hide" feature so I could stamp some PKS faces on them. She was cut at 3.5"

The Class of 2013- I did again with the gypsy and sized the letters at 1.6 and welded them together.

The diploma was cut at 1.5" from Wrap it up. (You know those cartridges you forget about when buy them having awesome fun features).

I since she only wanted Royal Blue and silver I pop dotted the letters up so they would really stand out on the banner.

The paper is Cord'inations - royal blue and some light weight silver paper from bazzill.

 

Hope you enjoy and Happy Scrappin'

When I saw this I instantly thought about making a T-shirt for my daugther.
I had purchased some scraps from Hobby Lobby - in the 3 varying sizes of Green.
I also used Heat - N bod - Ultra - no sewing iron fusion (which is actually found in the notions section of Joanns and I'm sure other places).
I cut several shamrocks all from Paper Doll Dress up cartridge.
They are cut at  1.25", 1.5", 1.75", 2" 2.25", and 2.5". This was very simple to cut out fabric using the iron on fusion and the cricut expression. 

I added a few cut little shamrocks to the sleeves.

I wanted it to look like a Rainbow - and went from smallest to largest, lightest to darkest color green.
I really tried to get the model to hold still so I could take her photo but she wasn't having it. Hence this photo:

So I figured that I would try this out on someone else and seems to be a little big.. I do think Cricut loves it though (Teeeheee).



I had alot of fun making this cute little t-shirt and hope you enjoy it too.

Peachy Challenge #7 - Sketch

So this week for the PKS challenge was to use the follow sketch to create a project.

I figured I'd play along - I just love PKS stamps and the wonderful challenges. I had a cute idea to follow this sketch using shamrocks.

I will be honest I probably made this card in my mind and then went to make it and changed it about 10 times.

I wanted to make a "swival" easel card so here was my chance. I saw this great card idea from www.cardcreationsbylorraine.blogspot.com. She did a several tutorials making different type of cards.

The shamrocks are cut at 2 1/2" from Paper Doll Dress up.

Mr. Shamrocks hat is also cut from Paper Doll Dress up - at 3".

The little shamrocks are cut at 3/4" from Paper Doll Dress up.

The faces are PK -650 Just Baby Faces.

The green card stock is from Archievers.

I inked the edges of the shamrocks with SEI Olive

The background paper is also from SEI paper line is Jocelyn - Chocolate fix.

I added some stickles to the shamrocks, some Viva decor, and a cute little bow to the pretty little girl.

The inside stamp is from Emma's stamp set called, " I Believe in Leprechauns".

Hope you enjoy and

Happy Scrappin'
