Digi Choosday - You Passed - Congrats - Graduation card - Upright Easel - Graduation/Student Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far.

Summer has definitely arrived here and we've been very busy lately with my wonderful cousin and hubby staying with us for a few days.  She's more like a sister to me really and I miss seeing her but its great catching up too when we can - the boys don't really get chance to talk LOL.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to make a graduation themed card/project so I decided to use one of the very cute images from the Graduation School Student collection  Its a jam packed collection of images, clip art, sentiments, word art and of course fun papers and perfect for lots of different educational and new job celebrations.   

I've used the very sweet Cute Boy  for my card today and resized this in my graphics software (I'm using the free version of Canva if you are interested !) I decided to add 3 piles of books from the clipart in the collection, so the little boy was standing on top like he's on top of the world and added a couple of extra mortar board hats in too before printing out and colouring with promarkers.

He looks like he feels on top of the world after all the hard work studying - very well deserved!

The card base is a 6" x 6" upright easel today with layers of a lime green/yellow and burgundy card and different fun and bright papers from the collection.

I decided to use the sentiment strips in the collection printing on my LaserJet printer so I could foil them in gold.

To finish off my card today I've added white gelly roll pen highlights and scattered lots of gold confetti around the design to tie in with the foiled sentiment strips.

  

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Digi Choosday - Graduation - Congratulations - Male Card - Graduation School Student Collection - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week so far......its nearly the end of April and the garden is blooming.  Everywhere has really benefitted from the early heavy rains we had so fingers crossed the plants are ready for the high temperatures of the Summer months.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is to make a graduation card so I decided to use one of the fab images from the Graduation School Student collection

When I left school many years back (1985 to be precise!) graduation definitely wasn't a thing....just for graduation from University, how times have changed.  Its very popular now though - even little ones have graduations from nursery !

So I don't really make or send many of these cards but its always good to have some in my stash just in case.

Its a super cute little boy with his graduation gown and cap - definitely reminds me of my own son Jack when he graduated from Portsmouth University...must be the glasses and the scruffy hair...LOL

I created an arched doorway from dies and went with a gold, black and silver theme for my card today, colouring the image with promarkers and fussy cutting out before assembling the card.  The congratulations banner was also coloured in the same palette before fussy cutting out.

To finish off the card I added confetti around the design and added some glossy accents to the boys glasses and white gel pen highlights.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Winter Wedding with Polkadoodles

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today is Digi Choosday and the start of a new challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog

It's DIGI CHOOSDAY! over at Polkadoodles so the start of a brand new crafty 'Anything goes' challenge and an amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

This week the DT was asked to make an elegant card for a Winter wedding. 

I decided to use the Wedding car digital stamp from the Work and Play collection 9 - Love and Kisses

For me elegant means simple and classy with a simple design so I chose to make larger a 5 x 7 card using a pale blue colour palette.

I started by choosing 2 wintery blue papers from the Rose Budd collection and then used these to choose my Promarkers to colour the image.

I selected the modern congratulations sentiment from the Winnie Daisy Fairy greetings bundle and added this to the striped blue background before printing out.

I the die cut a heart from the pale blue check paper and added this to my background panel so the heart was hanging over the edge.  Once the glue was dry I trimmed off the excess and then adhered this to my card blank.

The digital image was fussy cut out and mounted in the centre of the card using foam tape and then I've added some simple iridescent sequins around the card.

I hope that you like my card for today and will come back to see my next project

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
