Graduation Card and Goodies





Hello my crafty friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!  I wanted to share a couple of things I made for my niece's Graduation.  I found some scrapbook papers with my niece's high school on them at Bennion Crafts. (local) For the sentiments I used the Cardz TV Stamps set "School Days."  For the tassel on the card, I used cross stitch floss and a hair elastic to gather it.  I forgot to take a picture of the gift card inside the card.  It goes right below where the You make me proud sentiment.

I recently went to a scrapbook store called Just Bee Scrappin' and found these little containers that look like a to-go soup container.  I was going to wrap paper around it but because it decreases in diameter as it goes down, I couldn't.  So I made the little graduation bear from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  It was cut at 3 inches.  Their school colors are orange and black.  I added an action wobble behind it.  I made the rosette on top and used the Stampin' Up! scallop punch and the 1 3/8 circle punch.  Inside the container are these little graduation caps with Reese's peanut butter cups.  I used a 1 3/4 square punch and added a brad and ribbon.

It was a wonderful ceremony.  I'm so proud of her!  She's been very busy finishing High School and taking CNA classes.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I would really love to hear from you!

Lots of Hugs,

  3. What wonderful graduation goodies! I love the card and the cup - great idea. I have also bookmarked the little chocolate/cap favour. My son graduates next year and these are not only cute but not too involved to make. Thanks for the great ideas, my friend! Betcha your niece loves her Aunty Laura!
