Fun Fold

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - Pam

The stamp I am using is a classic oldie named The Graduate.  You can still find it on Etsy or Ebay. 

I used a Lori Whitlock Fun Fold card named 5 x 7 Shutter Card. I added misc pieces from different files. I did add additional matting using .050 for the side pieces and .075 for the image panel. I made this for a new college graduate!!!

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsors for their continued support!

Lori Whitlock Graduation Cards Tutorial

It's that time of the year to make a stack of Graduation cards!

This post is a tutorial on the Lori Whitlock Blog today.

 I chose several files that really gives you a lot of bang for your buck! These files include multiple years to use in the future as well! I have made these cards numerous times over the years because they really are so classy looking and are so fast and easy to make! 

They are easy to personalize by changing up the colors to reflect your school colors. You can then add school initials or add the grads name etc.

Graduation Shaped Card 2024-2037 (SVG, Silhouette)

Instructions for a Silhouette: enlarge the file by 200% by choosing the symbol that looks like a slash (highlighted in blue-top on the left side)  and click 200%. That was pretty easy right? Sorry-I'm not familiar on how  you do that on the Cricut.

 I always like to add a white center inside my cards, it's an especially fun detail if you have a shaped card.

For this inside insert I took the 2026 from the file and after selecting the 2026 you can right click and choose release compound path(about 2/3rd down the list)  From there you can pull the outline away and delete all the little pieces. 

5 x7 Graduation Shaped Card (SVG, Silhouette)

After cutting out the Congrats Grad pieces -leave all the letters stuck to the mat. It is easier to grab the center parts of the letters and see where to glue them.

Graduation Card with Pocket (SVG, Silhouette)

I just made this one because it was fast and easy.  I decorated the grad hat like I have seen the grads decorate theirs! 

I hope you have found some Graduation inspiration!

🪻🌻MAY FLOWERS 🌷🌺

Hosted by our Talented Teamie - Cari 

This stamp has been issued twice, once from Stampabilities and named Mice Garden (1998). It's a wonderful wood mount stamp. It was also released as a cling by Stampendous in 2021 named Violet Garden. Isn't that crazy how classic and timeless House Mouse stamps are?

This is a very simple card colored with copics. I used a base card with matching envelope from Doodlebug-love the color!

I hope you can find it out there! I was watching a funny movie and thought it was the perfect  time to color a detailed stamp. 

 

  So join in the fun! 
Please use a House-Mouse Designs® House-Mouse Friends, Happy Hoppers, or Gruffies image stamped/decoupage or CD rom.
