Creatively made into a Graduation card!

Hi All! Today I have a fun hot foil card featuring a VW Beetle that I made into a graduation card! Recently my neighbor asked me to make two graduation cards for her kids. Both are graduating with Masters, her daughter in Education and son in Architecture. I will show you the sons card in a few days. As usual I try and personalize cards. I know Jocelyn drives a cute beetle with those fun eyelashes on it. She also loves pink. So that’s what I was working with. Now, on with the Show & Tell…

This set was the Glimmer of the Month for 1/2023. It is available for purchase and is a really fun set. Look into the Spellbinders Clubs, they are fantastic!

Adding the congratulations sentiment and a cap transformed this into a graduation card! If you look close I even added little eyelashes.

The pastel pink hot foil worked beautifully on the Shimmer paper.

The one with the VIDEO!

Hi All! It’s time for me to be on The Rabbit Hole Designs YouTube page. You will find several links to the video throughout this post. For this card I used the berry wreath. The coloring was done with both Copic and Olo markers. Watch the video and see if you can spot the one difference in their usage. If you figure it out leave me a comment! Another fun thing with this card is I used NO patterned paper. I did use our Trellis hot foil plate to create some. Since this whole new release is awesome I added the links to the stamps and dies in the Shopping List. Now, on with the Show & Tell…

See what I did with the envelope? I embossed it with the hot foil plate!

Do you see faint shadow around my image? I “outlined” my image with a Olo marker CG1, it makes the image pop up from the paper.

I love the way this pale hot foil looks. Subtle yet still glossy. Don’t forget to watch the VIDEO!
