The Forest Friends stamp set from the Stampin' Up! 2009 Occasions Mini is so stinking adorable.
A couple of my students asked for a graduation card for the next Card Crew class. Another wanted me to use the Forest Friends stamp set. Well, aiming to please, this is the card I came up with.
What a fun card! Seeing Spots stamp set was used for the background. Love how the circles are keeping it all coordinated.
You know I love the Stampin' Up! punches. I used the 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch and the 1-3/4" Circle punch. Layering is a beautiful thing. I really liked how the 1-3/4" Circle Punch gave me a larger mat. I did not want to use the Scallop Circle Punch (love!) to keep the card gender neutral.
My husband drew the graduation mortarboard (hat) and cut them out for everyone using the Hobby Knife and Cutting Mat. Isn't he sweet? I added a touch of Summer Sun card stock and used my handy-dandy paper snips to create the tassel.
My colors are Real Red, Basic Black (go Coyotes!), Whisper White and Summer Sun.
