Congrats Grad! ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  June is right around the corner and that means it's time

for graduation!  Today I made a project using products from

Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hats Off Stamp Set

This is a great set for graduation cards.  There are so many possibilities

with it!  Let me show you how I made my card!

My card is a 5" x 7" card so I covered the base of my card with some

metallic gold card stock.  Next I die cut a 5" x 7" panel with a fancy

rectangle die using a velvet paper.  I adhered this velvet paper to the

base I created...more on that in a bit.

I heat embossed in gold the smaller of the 2 sizes of graduation cap in the set.

I also stamped out my sentiment and cut it into a strip that would be able to

go across my next background piece.

Using a dark blue marker - in my case a B99 Copic - I did some very

basic shading on the caps.  Once that was done I fussy cut them.  I stamped

6 of them but only used 5.

I cut my sentiment to size and edged the 2 long sides with some white peel-offs

that were edged in gold.  I die cut another panel, this time from some white and

gold paper with the same nesting dies I used on the velvet piece.  It was at this

point that I noticed the velvet paper did not want to stick properly on the gold

card stock.  So, I die cut a piece of the blue paper that I used for the hats and

the sentiment, die cut it with the biggest die and adhered it to the base.

I adhered the white and gold piece to the base with foam tape.  I adhered the

sentiment with foam tape across the middle.  I adhered the hats - 2 were

adhered flat and 3 were popped up on foam tape.  I added shimmer pen to

the word "grad" and on the hats as well.  I added tiny metallic stars to the

background and my card was done!

I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial!  Make this card for your grad
