More Graduation Cards (a scraplift of myself... or would that be a card lift?)

I shared THIS single layer card last week and when I made it, I liked it so much and it took so much time that I figured I should get the most for all those hours I spent agonizing over the design and use it again to finish up the last couple graduation cards I needed to get sent out.

I made two identical cards just like this and it was so, so easy. This time! ;)

The only changesI made to the graduation cards were the addtion of the stamped and embossed numbers for the graduation year (as opposed to the stamped/embossed stars on the birthday card HERE) and I changed up the colors and greeting, of course.

I also wanted to share this quick teacher thank you card I created for my youngest son's first grade teacher...

... unfortunately I was in a hurry last Thursday and didn't get a better photo than this instagram one but I wanted to share anyway since I really like how it turned out plus I used my favorite greeting stamp set again!

I created a rainbow sunburst on a small square card using an array of bright Hero Arts Shadow and Mid-Tone Inks, layered a stamped sunburst and stamped circle, then the die cut and stamped apple. I used the Sakura Glitter Pen on the rainbow sun rays and apple for subtle sparkle.

I stamped the greeting on vellum, scored the strip on each side using the Martha Stewart scoring board and attached it to the card with the Tiny Attacher.
