Graduation Card 2017

Here comes the graduation season and I needed a new quick and easy card to add to my files.  I was inspired by a card in the Cardmaker magazine (preview here) and was pleased to find a similar image on the Simple Everyday Cards cart.  With some creative slicing, I was able to use the negative image to make my card.  Love it when it works out like that!  The sentiment comes from Photo Fun - Celebrations and cuts beautifully in one piece.  (Note to self - remember this image # M6B9607)   Here's the front:-

Easy peasy!   Here's the link to the DS3 file

Grad Gap Card

I am having such fun creating 'gap' cards in Design Space!  Welding the font shadow into the gap makes it so easy to glue the letters down and makes the card much more stable than the usual way.   Lovin' it!

Here's my grad card for a friend's son.  (Go Papermakers!) 

In this one I used the font from Winter Woodland and moved the gap further up the card so I could add the caps and the year.

Here's the inside showing the welded font.

This is my son's birthday card - the one that started the current obsession!  The font is '
Art Deco.'

Here's a Mother's Day card that I made with 'Folk Art.'  I didn't use this one 'cos I couldn't make it match the vision in my head. KWIM?

I have one more birthday card to make using this technique and then, I'm going to try a vertical split! 

I'm linking my grad card with the Craftin' Desert Diva's Graduation Linky Party.  Pop over and look at all the fun cards!   Thanks for visiting with me today and here's the link to DS for the grad card.  : )  Christine.
