Good morning!
One of my nieces graduated high school last week and we celebrated over the weekend. I created this card for her on Friday night using the Pals Paper Arts sketch with a mashup of MFT and Stampin’ Up! products. I think I did pretty good since I didn’t have any graduation specific stamps. I used her school colors of blue and white.
I embossed MFT Blueberry cardstock with the Stampin’ Up! Lucky Stars embossing folder. The banners were cut from MFT Sweet Tooth cardstock using the MFT Stitched Fishtail Flag Stax. I stamped Congratulations from the SU set And Many More in MFT Blueberry hybrid ink and embellished two of the flags with SU basics rhinestones. To finish off the top I added some SU 1/8″ silver ribbon over a strip of the Blueberry cardstock. The oval was cut from SU Silver Glimmer paper using an MFT Stitched Oval Stax die although the stitching didn’t show up. I added letters cut from MFT Blueberry cardstock using MFT Laina Lamb Emmitt Numbers. I had a heck of a time getting them glued down using liquid glue. What a mess!
Here is the sketch I used from PPA~
I’ll be back tonight with another post! I still have several more cards to share.

Awesome graduation card! I love the stitched banners and oval die with the year. I would say you did a great job without any graduation specific supplies! Thanks for joining us at the Pals Paper Arts this week.
