Scarlett's Graduation Card

 

It's Saturday and also graduation day. My granddaughter Scarlett is graduating from high school. So, I'm here with a graduation card to share with you all.



My granddaughter loves hello kitty so I thought it would be the perfect graduation card for her. 

Most everything was created on my Cricut. The sentiment is from dafont called candy beans and cut out the sentiment with a scalloped cutting die. I used a tiny dot embossing folder for the background. The colors that I used are the schools' colors. After this picture was taken, I added some wink of stella to the bow and stars for some sparkle.

Found this cute Hello Kitty SVG at Svg Squad .com. You do have to purchase the Images; they are not free.


 I also thought that I would share with you all a crocheted Mochi Bunny that I made for my granddaughter for Easter.




I found the tutorial on you tube. The pattern calls for thin chenille yarn, but I didn't have any thin, so I used a thicker one and I used a 5.5 mm hook, so the bunny turned out quite a bit larger. I think the tutorial calls for a 2.5 or 3mm hook.

I thought it turned out really cute and my granddaughter loves it. If you crochet, this is a fun one to make. The youtuber's name is chubbiesbyash.

Well, that's it for me today, Have a great day!



Congratulations Scarlett River!

Floral Wreath Birthday Card

  Hello so glad that you could stop by. In the month of May, I always make a Mother's Day card for my mom and a birthday card for my oldest sister. This is the first Mother's Day without my mom and I am feeling heartbroken. Words can't describe how much that I miss her.  

I am so glad that my sister's birthday is so close to Mother's Day. So that I could still make a card. I felt like I was making the card for both of them. 

I knew that I wanted to make the card with flowers and different shades of purples and lavender, It's our favorite color. My Mom once said, "I can't imagine a world without purple and lavender". I agree

So here is the card that I made



 While placing the flowers where I wanted them, I remembered that I had some Glad Press n Seal in my craftroom so I cut a piece to cover the flowers on the right side of the card and pressed it down over them and then flipped the whole thing over and glued everything at once and then I did the flowers on the left side of the card. It made it sooo much easier. Have any of you tried it? 


That's all for today, thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you all have a wonderful day and Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms.
