Happy Saturday, everyone! Yay, we made it to the weekend! Continuing on with my supposedly easy cards, here’s the graduation card I made for my nephew, using the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch #162:
Now, I say “supposedly” easy cards, because I must have re-done this one four or more times…..most of it was done in MDS, and I am still learning how to print whole cards…..I am not sure if it is my printer or user error! I finally got one done to my satisfaction! Here ya go:
My nephew’s school colors are black, red and gray (thank you, Carol!) so I printed the background words in MDS in Basic Gray on Basic Gray cardstock, added the Alphabet Press embossed panel, then did the sentiment in MDS as well. I love the inside….that came together in a flash:
I really enjoy layering sentiments and images….it’s very, very easy to do in MDS and they can be resized in a jiffy! And just to brag on my nephew---he got a full ROTC scholarship to his college…an answer to prayer! Plus he’s pretty much one of the smartest kids I know!

That is one really cool graduation card!
Ahh all the reason to enjoy summer! Sweet picture.
Hmm, I don't know which I like better, the inside or outside of this card! I have two graduation cards to make this weekend, and I just may be casing you, Leanne!
Oops, and congrats to your nephew! He sounds pretty awesome!
MyMyMy!! What a fan-tab-u-lous card! Really like the inside - I may have to visit you and learn how to use my MDS that's just been sitting there on my screen...I'm such a nervous-nellie with computer stuff - which is silly - I won't hit the wrong button and blow up the world - but what if I did - ackkkkkkk. Ha
Miss Cassidy is growing up so fast - wish it was warm enough here to play in the water like she is.
Anyway - loven today's card and sending congrats to your nephew

This turned out perfect for your nephew, and the colors look awesome together! (thanks for the shout-out!) Congrats to him for his amazing accomplishments!

Awesome card for an awesome scholar! What an accomplishment! I love the layering you did in MDS, I have to organize my files so I know what I have and play around. Your card is quite inspiring! Thanks for playing at HSS :) Erika
