Can you believe that I had a Christmas stamp I hadn't used yet, but, after decorating our tree today, I'm a bit burnt on Christmas? What's a stamper to do about that?!
Well, I made a graduation card instead, lol...
I totally loved the color combo suggested at this week's Nacho Average Challenge #66 - it reminds me of that old In Color set we had when I first came to Stampin' Up! Let's see, ummmmm, Groovy Guava, Blue Bayou, and of course, our resurrected Soft Sky!! I hoarded my Soft Sky all this time, too, lol... Good times...
Christmas Star, Simply Stars & Pure Gumption stamp sets; Pool Party & Whisper White CS; Island Indigo, Calypso Coral & Soft Sky inks; Large & Small Star Punches (retired, for some unknown reason, sigh), Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Available December 1-January 27 or while supplies last.

Fresh Sent With Love

Boy, the timing on this one was great - I just got an order in, that had the intriguing Sent With Love bundle in it. The top sheet of the DSP pack is COVERED with little arrows, badges, seals and tags, and I thought, oo, you could cut all these little pieces out, and really do something with them! Then I took a good look at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #75, and an idea was born! I kinda feel like this is a cheater card - I had to go back and add the little airplane so there would be some kind of stamped element on it! Too cool! Think I'll put this one in the "graduation" box...

Clean & Simple Gumption

I have really struggled with having graduation stamp sets (and cards!) when I need them - seems like whenever I get around to buying one, it retires! This year, I didn't wait, and I finally snapped up this one last month... Clean & Simple #220 was the PERFECT layout for it, too! I may go back and make a couple versions!
So anyway, this card is for my friend Sky, who's long-anticipated graduate commencement is this weekend - yay! As soon as I heard she was "walking," (her son and his girlfriend are flying in especially!) I knew I had to use this sentiment!
Congrats, Sky! Now we can get back to partying on the weekends, right??

Here's another graduation card using the Happy Grad stamp set that I borrowed from my upline, Julie! I wanted to use some of the patterns I have shied away from in my leftover Greenhouse Gala pack - this came out nice and bright!

So, now I'm embarking on my quest to fill in some card "categories" for the big craft show coming up - you guessed it, the first category is "Grad!" I started by making several cards in each of my school district's HS colors - there are 5 really, but I think I'll just show these three - you can get the idea, I think.

Yoyo Yello (retired), Real Red, Basic Gray, Bravo Burgundy, Brilliant Blue (retired) and Whisper White CS; Large and Small Star punches, both retired; Go, Graduate stamp set.
