Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop…Congratulations!

Welcome to another round of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop!  This month our theme is Congratulations!  This year we have quite a few graduations to celebrate so I thought it would be a good idea to get started on the cards.   One thing I like to do is coordinate the colors I use  to the school colors.  I think it makes it more personal and fun.

 

I was so happy that the school colors for the first graduate is purple and gold! I couldn't wait to break out the gold foil paper and gold glimmer paper.

This card fold is called a tri-shutter card and they are a LOT easier to make  than they look.   Here's a diagram help you.

The dotted lines are scoring and the solid are cut lines.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see that a gift card fits perfectly on one of the panels.  I secured the gift card with stars and glue dots.  I am so happy that I have a gift and card that will work for both male and female graduates.
