Graduation Time!

Hi Everyone, it's Cheri here today to share with you 2 cards I made. Graduation is right around the corner for 2 of my favourite people! Both my Nephew and my Cousin's Daughter (I like to think she's mine on loan to my cuz, LOL) are graduating from Grade 8! I have no clue where the time went, as I  remember like it was yesterday when they were born! I'm not getting older am I? 

I used the set from Your Next Stamp called Grad Kids. It has the 2 images as well as 2 sentiments in the set. I coloured the images with my Copic Sketch Markers, and then fussy cut them out with detail scissors. I added some ribbon and twine to each card. I thought for my nephews card He would appreciate the twine, as it's not so "girly" LOL. I added some YNS Gumdrops to finish it off.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, R20

Hair girl: E31, E33, E35, E37

Hair Boy: E43, E44, E47

Hats & Robes: N3, N5, N7, N9

Blues: B24, B26, B28

Reds: R24, R27

Just a simple inside of the card using one of the included sentiments. I stamped the sentiment with embossing ink and then sprinkled silver embossing powder on it. I used my heat tool to set the ink and powder.

Just popping in with a tag I created using Your Next Stamp die and stamp set.  You can find Perfect Chemistry Stamps CYNS164 HERE, you can find Perfect Chemistry Die Set YNSD192 HERE

I cut out three tags and glued them together to create a sturdy base for my design.  Added a patterned paper background and some sewing stitches too! The  banner flags were simply created by cutting triangles from pattern paper and sewing along the top of the flags with an added bow for more of a finished look.

The chemistry text/ephemera background was saved from an outdated Chemical Catalogue. I was able to capture the Tellurium page to match the fun sentiment. The sentiment ribbon was also made by hand cutting, stamping and securing with mini staples.

Thanks for peeking in, wishing you a crafty Wednesday!

Mr. Mad Scientist was coloured with Copics #'s E50, E31, E33, E21, BG70,BG72, BG75, R20, R21, R22

Hallowe’en Treats Galore – YNS

Hi all, Madge here for another Wednesday – have you ever had a day where you want to scream at the top of your lungs “Stand in line and take a number”!!!!! 
Well, the last 24 hours have been that day.

My remedy for all my stress??  CHOCOLATE!!!!!  Today, my little project will do just that!!
I’ve chosen to showcase YNS (Your Next Stamp) stinkin’ cute “Happy Hallowe'en, Spooktakular, Spooky Hello and Trick-or-Treat for my little treat bags.   These spooky little critters are ALL available at OCS.
I chose Capella DP from the Cappella collection…….but while perusing the OCS store, I saw paper that would be absolutely perfect…. Take a look!! 
Coloring was simple and quick using markers and Distress inks.  

   
The bags have velcro closure topped with a floral punch. The Spider is the closure tab for the little bag with the sentiment underneath.   The self adhesive backing for the velcro showed through the floral punch,  so I added copper glitter – stuck down perfectly!! 
“Spooky” was stamped on Vellum and fussy cut it to pop it on top of the DP……kind of ghostly!??

Sentiments were added to the inside of the little treat bags. 
These little bags (Tutorial will follow on my blog) are so quick and easy to make up and the little YNS
images available at OCS, fit perfectly!! 




Hope you enjoy looking at them………..  I’m off to enjoy some chocolate…..LOL
