FTHS Graduation Card

This year I have a lot of graduation cards to make. My son's girlfriend is graduating from high school along with several kids from my church (my husband is on the board of youth at our church and teaches the high school Sunday school class, so we know these kids well) and a few kids of good friends of ours. I decided to get one of those graduation cards made today by using the sketch over on the From The Heart Stamps blog.
I used a 5x7 inch white card base and some school-themed design paper to copy the sketch. I love my new notebook die by My Favorite Things. I used it to die cut the Papertrey Ink number paper behind my Birdbrain digi.
Instead of a banner, I used some yellow twine behind the digi. I added a Close to My Heart sentiment from the "You Did It!" clear stamp set and die cut it with a Gina Marie Designs stitched circle die. I used another die from that set for the blue circle behind the digi. For the typewriter key dp, I used one of my new Lawn Fawn stitched line dies, and I used another on the dp with the scissors, globes and other school items. It was fun being able to add stitches to a panel of any size instead of being limited by the size of my rectangle stitched dies!

Here's a look at the different dps I used. It's nice to finally use some of these papers! I'm terrible about buying papers I think are so cute and then never using them!

Congratulations to the members of the class of 2016!
