FOR YOUR GRADUATION

The time of year to make graduation cards.  I’ve only had one wooden block stamp and one small set that I believe was a give away to use and have been using them for over 18+ years since I received them.  Yup same two graduation things but I have made many a card just mixing up the other elements of the card or using parts of their invitation.

Unlike my Christmas stamp sets (like a zillion) and most un-inked, I have been able to make do with just 2 graduation type stamps.

I also used the crimper for the corrugated look (I know everyone this is an old technique and most people have gotten rid of their crimper but I love the look).  Everything old becomes new again – look at home decorating and clothes.
