Hello everyone! Graduation is right around the corner! Do you have someone
in your life that's graduating? Today I'll be using products from
I love making cards for special occasions and this was fun and relatively
easy! Let me show you how I made my card.
I first stamped out the images I wanted to use onto white card stock. I
used black pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Although embossing powder is not good for your Copic markers over time, I
was quite careful in my coloring to not go over the embossed part. Next I die
cut my background pieces.
I die cut a panel of very textured gold card stock as the very back piece.
I used a mottled red mirri-board as my next layer using a die. Using a
smaller die from the same set, I die cut a panel out of white glitter paper.
Next was the coloring.
Obviously my theme was red and white. Except for 2 gray markers, I only
used red to color with.
I love how rich I was able to get the red. Sometimes when elements I'm
coloring don't look good, I try to keep going because by adding more color
the blending is deepened. Not much coloring on the diploma and sentiment.
After the coloring was done, I fussy cut my images leaving a narrow
white margin around the pieces. Next, I die cut the gift card holder out
of white glitter paper. I cut the top extended part off. I used multiple
pairs of reverse tweezers to hold it the back bits together.
Once that glue was dry, all of my pieces were ready to assemble.
I adhered the gift card holder first. I did use 4 pairs of reverse tweezer to
hold it in place - glitter paper is very stubborn! I adhered this at an angle and
that made my card a little more interesting. I foam taped (with liquid glue
dabbed on each piece) and adhered the rest of the elements. I used a gold
metallic pen and used it for the medallion on the diploma and and the tiny metal
part on the tassel. I embellished with some bright red gems and my card was finished!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. It's one of those cards that you
could customize so easily with school colors! You can find the
