Congrats Graduate

Our family has had few busy weeks with many events and celebrations one of which was my baby girl graduated valedictorian Woo Hoo!  I'm so proud of her and her accomplishments.  We had wonderful family and friends travel for the occasion to congratulate her, and of course we shared good food and fun together.

I made a few graduation cards and treats for some close graduate friends. 

 For the graduation hat I used and image from Miss Kate Cuttables "Graduation Day" and cut it using my Silhouette Cameo machine.

 I added an action wobble behind the hat to create a fun wobble affect, it's so fun to see all the graduates hats flying up in the air after graduation.

I used three metal die sets from My Craft Spot on my cards... the Congrats is from Big Words metal die, I cut it twice in black and orange then layered the orange over the black to give a shadow look.  The personalized name letters are from the Small Alphabet metal die, the torn notebook paper edge is from the Fancy Edges metal die. These metal dies are available from My Craft Spot Shop -HERE.

 Inside of card, again the same Fancy Edges metal die for the torn notebook edge, I also distressed the edges of the paper as well.

 Close up of the Congrats die cut image.

For the yummy chocolate treats I used sticker address labels (30 per sheet) along with my photoshop program and designed labels that fit perfectly over the Hershey's Nuggets.  I used the same graduation images from Miss Kate Cuttables for the labels.

Our delicious food, my daughters did a great job cutting up fruits and veggies and beautifully decorating the trays... everything was... mmmmm so good!

What an amazing day we had, I hope you get a chance to hug a graduate! :)

Spider Ghosts Goblins -My Craft Spot Project

Hello friends, I have a fun wiggly spider card that I made for the My Craft Spot challenge, this weeks challenge is...

Emboss It

heat embossing or dry embossing 

I choose dry embossing using my Cuttlebug machine and one of the Mini Monster embossing folders, I rubbed white chalk on the embossed edges and a bit on the center of the card.

The spider  was cut using Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge, at 3 1/2" I omitted the face using my gypsy and added two different sizes of googly eyes.

I used the Tiny Doily Metal dies to stamp my sentiment and spider from the Stampin' Around Fall stamp set both can be purchased from Kimberly at My craft spot -HERE, Along with the black crinkle ribbon.

Side view

I used the homemade action wobbles using the technique that Kimberly has shown in her video -HERE.

Inside of the card stamped using the Best Witches to you stamp set, the spider  is from the Stampin' Around Fall stamp set, then I hand drew the line above the spider.
