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 !

New Release - Graduation /school/ college - Hooray card with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful day - I hope the weather is being kind to you....it's still so hot here, too hot really to be outside much past 2pm...I have been trying to get a bit of work done in the garden first thing before the sun is too strong but its not easy. 

Some of the plants are starting to look very weary too especially as we have been having hot winds too which sadly is drying out the plants even more.  hoping for a break in the weather and maybe a thunderstorm to freshen things up but I suspect it will be like this now until September.

I'm sure you've already seen the brand new release by Polkadoodles crafting It's all about Graduation School Student New jobs.

It’s a bumper kit with fabulous papers, ephemera, word art and of course the wonderful characters (line art and pre-coloured)….. perfect for all those celebrations not just traditional graduation!

Fun, colourful elements perfect for graduation cards, teacher thank you gifts, school leavers' memory books, and end-of-term projects. With 100's of high-resolution digital assets, including clipart characters, coordinating papers, printable sentiments, ephemera, and both black & white and pre-coloured digi stamps, this bundle is ideal for card making, junk journaling, digital scrapbooking, planner pages and more.

If you are looking for more inspiration then why not head over to the Polkadoodles gallery where I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.

My next card features a real cutie celebrating in style with all those balloons and bottles of fizz.....she definitely deserves it after all the hard work.

 

I've used a fabulous Polkadoodles Funky Vortex stencil for my background with pretty distress inks to co-ordinate with the balloons.

The main image is the Cute girl Graduation gown and I also printed out 3 bottles of fizz and lots of balloons, all fussy cut out by hand after colouring with promarkers.  

I've added some clear sparkle to the balloons and bottles of fizz and some clear iridescent sequins around the design.

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

New Release - Graduation /school/ college /new job card with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you all a wonderful day - my goodness its so hot here at the moment...I have to keep escaping the heat to cool off inside, even the pool water isn't very cooling at 32C

There’s a brand new release by Polkadoodles crafting just launched and here is my first card using the Graduation School Student digital collection.

It’s a bumper kit with fabulous papers, ephemera, word art and of course the wonderful characters (line art and pre-coloured)….. perfect for all those celebrations not just traditional graduation!

Fun, colourful elements perfect for graduation cards, teacher thank you gifts, school leavers' memory books, and end-of-term projects. With 100's of high-resolution digital assets, including clipart characters, coordinating papers, printable sentiments, ephemera, and both black & white and pre-coloured digi stamps, this bundle is ideal for card making, junk journaling, digital scrapbooking, planner pages and more.

If you are looking for more inspiration then why not head over to the Polkadoodles gallery where I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.

This little girl is a real cutie with her pens and pencils, coloured with Promarkers….just ready to start school with loads of dreams and lots of ambitions.

I've used a couple of the papers from the collection to decorate my upright Z-fold card for my card today, foiling one of them in teal foil for a touch of shine.  

For the main image I selected the pencil clip art and enlarged this to create a rainbow of huge pencils behind the little girl. I also added an extra pot of pencils to the image before printing out and colouring with promarkers - a girl can never have too much stationery after all ! 

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