My husband's step brother & cousin graduated from High School earlier this month. Not knowing what to give to an eighteen year we decided to just give them money. I made each of these cards in their school colors. I used the slit punch inside to hold the money in the card. The "Congrats!" is from this past year's Ronald McDonald Set, which is only available til the end of the month. Stamps: Say It with Scallops (Last Chance) Ink: Black Stazon Paper: Basic Black, Real Red, Brilliant Blue, & Glorious Green Cardstock Tools Used: Scallop Square Punch, Slit Punch
Welcome to Port of Call #7 on Stampin' Addicts 2009 Bon Voyage Blog Hop!
Nestled snugly between Ports of Call #6 (Connie's Bella Blossom) and #8 (Barbara's Blooming with Love), here we explore Stampin' Up!'s hidden versatility of Happy Heart Day.
One announcement before disembarking: the tour links are only active through 11:59 pm Tuesday June 16; after that, many hostesses will post more details on projects you see today. Bookmark your favorite stops now--on return visits, you'll bypass customs & immigration and go straight to the fun!
I want to try to show you that even though this looks like a Valentine's Day set, it can be so much more. I will be sharing directions of how to create all of the fancy folds you will see today later in the week. So stay tuned.
I am going to start with a Valentine. This cute little card is made using a "Triangle Trifold". It looks sort of complicated but it actually isn't.

This set includes a great little Thank You that works great with the other images in set to make something for that special someone. This card fold flat for mailing but can stand up on its own for display.

For my last project I want to show you the great way to use the images from this set with sentiments from other sets to create cards for any occasion.

I am SO excited to be a part of another Stampin' Addicts blog tour! These are so well organized and so much fun, with projects from extremely talented demonstrator friends of mine. You remember the awesome Parade of Papers tour last month--this new 'farewell' tour will feature all retiring sets from the Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. I'm not going to tell you which set I have been assigned--you'll just have to wait and see! The tour will run from noon on Saturday, June 13th to midnight on Tuesday, June 16th. After that, the ship will depart, so be sure to bookmark your favorite sites to return to later for instructions and patterns for the projects. Unlike other blog hops, ours are FREE to view and participate in, and highly professionally organized, with no dropped links and 100% participation. You will not be disappointed! Stay tuned for updates--just look for the logo!
I am a electrical engineer & a Stampin' Up demo. I am married to Billy. We have been married since May of 2004. We have a cat, Macey, and a dog, Lincoln. We got Macey in 2003 and Lincoln in 2006.
