Congratulations Card

Here's a card that I should have posted in time for May graduations, but I think it is okay now too, because graduations can happen at different times of the year for different things.

This card doesn't have to be just a graduation card, it could be for promotions and other special occasions.

This is a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" card. That means that the post office will charge you extra to have it sent in a square envelope, but if you use a rectangular envelope this one will go for the base rate, no extra charges. Use your envelope punch board to create the perfect size envelope.  Envelopes are so quick and easy to make with the punch board! Love it!

I used silver Fancy Foil Vellum over the Night of Navy card stock base. Then I embossed Congratulations from the Sassy Salutaions set (4 times). Added an arrow in Bermuda Bay and a scalloped Silver Foil paper circle with Silver 1/8" ribbon and then a die cut star stamped with a sentiment from Be the Star stamp set, stamped and sponged with Bermuda Bay ink.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
Have a Blessed Day,
Trude

New Baby Girl Congratulations Card

This is a cute shaped card. Put the top shoulders on the seam and leave them intact. Cut or punch a hole for the neck, cut and shape the rest of the card front. I covered the front of a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card with printed paper before I cut the card out. I cut a pocket, attached it to the little dress, punched a heart out and adhered it to the pocket. Finally I punched small holes in the shoulders and tied ribbon loosely through them and into bows.
