Grad Party Gift

I am heading to a Grad Party today and thought hmmm...maybe I'll make a card then thought maybe I will make a 3D creation for the graduate.

So here is what I came up with ~ it’s a gift box at the bottom and added the 3D Graduation Cap which I plan to fill with goodies and I added a 3D M for not only the grad’s initial but also the school mascot (Mustangs). I used the school colors throughout the project.

So here is how it all came together:

~ STEP 1 ~

 Started with the Glove Box from the Mothers Garden SVG Kit from SVG Cuts. I cut it at 100%.

I added a ribbon in the dark purple. Papers are from Basic Grey Shine On. I picked it up at Joanns - was so excited to see Joanns carrying Basic Grey 12x12 paper pads!

~ STEP 2 ~

 Cut and assemble the Grad Cap from SVG Cuts’ Graduation Day SVG Kit. I also cut at 100%.

It cut perfect on my Sizzix Eclips & I watched the assembly video which also gave tips on creating the tassle from embroidery floss. It was so incredibly easy to put together. I am going to put some candies in the cap.

~ STEP 3 ~

 And last but not least thought it needed a little something to balance out the design so I cut a 3D “M” from SVG Cuts’ 3D Letters Kit. This is about 3" high.

I adhered the cap box and 3D M to the glove box with hot glue.

 If you are going to a grad party try one of these for the graduate!

Imagine Layout

Hey everyone - Hope you had a great week. Here is a layout I did at a recent weekend crop. If you are regular around you then you saw my post on how to prep for a scrapping weekend. Check it out here if you missed it.

Here is the layout I made. I switched it up as compared the sketch I started with but that happens sometimes when your creative juices start flowing!

Here a few closeups:

Papers are from AC Cardstock & Oxford Basic Grey. Embellishments from Creative Charms.
Both scallop cuts were freebies from SVG Cuts.

Wishing a crafty, fun weekend!

Grad Party Centerpiece

I made some centerpieces for one of my coworkers. Used SVG Cuts files (of course!). Hot glued the pieces on to wooden skewers and inserted into my container.

The details:

Hat & Diploma are from Graduation Cards & Tags SVG Kit.

Diploma was also a freebie on 3/27/09. (did not include the ribbon)

Oval is a freebie from 4/25/11 & Class of 2011 is from the Graduation Cards & Tags SVG Kit.

And I just created some welded type for the school letters & year.

Let me know what you think & Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
