Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #35: Medical Graduation

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with my 2nd post of the day this one for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, as always and every month "Anything Goes".

I was asked by a friend to created a graduation card for his wife.  She earned her degree as X-Ray Technician and he wanted it to be special.  Graduation paper and this wonderful die-cut/stamp set from MFT was just perfect.  I went with a tri-fold card to fit all the ideas we had between the two of us.

A picture of a x-ray was on his wish list and inserted on the inside of the 1st flap.  I made sure each flap had something special on it.  Hidden behind the 1st flap is a stamp sentiment.

Here it is completely opened. There is glitter stickles in each circle of the Bright stamp.  The image is from Mi Ran called Graduating Kim and colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Here's the envelope with the card.

thanks for reading and looking :o)

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #11: Graduation

Hello crafty friends!  It's a new month and time for another challenge at Love to Craft! Challenge Blog.  It's always Anything Goes and any craft you want to share.  Last month I was working on a Sketch/journal book, but it got put on hold when a few last minute cards came rolling in for commission.

I was asked to created a graduation card based on a grandmother's pic of her grandson in his cap and gown.

A graduation card needs to be special, I feel like these kids work so hard to get to the finish line.  I decided on a bendy card.  I usually make my cards 6 1/2 x 5 which is an A7 size.  I used die-cuts from MFT stamps to create this card.

Given a few or so options on images, the grandmother decided on the Art By Mi Ran image Graduating Gordon.  It was a perfect fit from the pic she had given me.  Usually I hide the slits for the tabs, but I didn't want to over clutter the card.

Here's the card completely folded out.  The grandmother said her grandson was blown away by this card and knew it was specially made for him :o)  (this always makes me happy to hear)

thanks for looking and reading :o)
