Graduation Cards
Sunday was Graduation Sunday at our church. My mom and I made gifts for our graduates. We made our Head Towel Wraps for the girls and laundry bags for the boys. Mom didn't think to take a picture of the gifts. I made cards to go with the gifts.
I have been trying to put this up since Sunday. I am getting really frustrated.
The girls' cards:
I didn't purchase the Stampin' Up stamp that I used on my Mother's Day and Ordination cards. I found these swirly stamps and Michaels and used one 3 times stamped in different directions to get this look. I used my I*Rock to add the bling.
The flower is a digi-stamp from Debbie Buckland. I printed the flowers off 4 times and cut out different layers. I popped up each layer. I used my Michaels' Studio G Glitter Glue on the center of the flower.
"Congratulations!" is from SP & Company's Utlimate Sentiments I set. I used my Quick Quotes Powder Puff Chalking Inks to ink the edges. If you have not tried a Powder Puff you need to. They make inking edges quick and easy. I don't get ink all over me.
Bookmarks for the girls:
I made a bookmark for the girls and put it in the cards. The sun is a digi stamp from Tiffany Doodles. I didn't use the face that came on the sun. I used a face from my very first set of Peachy Keen Stamps!!! It is the from the Everyday Character set.
The boys' cards:
It is a digi stamp from the Stamp Fairy. I printed it twice and made the top of the cap pop up. I stitched around the edge and used thread to make the tassel.The card base is round and the same size as the card. The tread is blue and does not show well with the black. The next one I make for a friend's grandson (who attended the same school) will be stitched in red and colored in blue.
Until next time ~ VinDeeLoo

Help Make Cameron's Father, Shawn "My MVP Dad"!!!!!
Cameron is home from the hospital and is doing so good. She is only on oxygen now at night. Shawn has been by her side the entire time she was in the hospital. Go to My MVP DAD and vote for Shawn! You will need to go to the "D" in the alphabetical drop down box and look for "Denise" or you can go to "Yankees" in the drop down box and again look for "Denise". Our friend Denise is who nominated Shawn. Help me give Shawn and his family this MVP reward. He most definitely deserves it.

Congratulations Krista!!! I will be contacting you shortly for an address to mail your candy too.
Krista asked about my spiral flower. I contacted the gal that taught the class I went to. She contacted me last night and told me they are called slide mounts. She purchased them from Quick Quotes. They are 5/$1.00 and can be ordered online from http://www.shopquickquotes.com. (This link will take you to the mounts.) They also come in square, so just be sure you order the ones you looking for.
We took a piece of ribbon - a strip of material could also be used - and wrapped it around the slide mount. Very easy to make and evidently from all the comments sharp/nice looking.
Quick Quotes has PowderPuff Chalking Inks. I used some in class and really liked it. I am gonna have to make a trip to Tulsa (the closest store to me) and buy some or purchase them online.
Less than a week of school left. I can't wait. I get to start do much more crafting!!!
Until next time ~ VinDeeLoo

Your flowers are unique! I like it! I want to know how you made the "spiral" things on the first card-are you sharing that secret?
