With spring coming, it’s time to start working on all of the Graduation cards you need! Today’s project features the Island Vibes Sale-A-Bration stamp set by Stampin’ Up! and is only available through February 28, 2022. (This set is free with a qualifying $50 order.)
I think every college graduate should be able to dream of going somewhere tropical after all the hard work they put into their studies, so I used the Artfully Composed Designer Paper by Stampin’ Up! to give this card that island vibe. It was so easy to do – you can find a complete tutorial below. Don’t forget you can download the tutorial too and save it for later! Let’s get started.
Project Measurements
- Basic White: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼” and 3” x 3” for die-cutting
- Artfully Composed Paper:
- 4” x 5-1/4” (Pear Pizzazz)
- 3-1/4” x 4” (Mixed Leaf)
- 3-1/2” x 3-1/2” (Calypso Coral)
- 4” x 4” (Leaf Pattern)
Project Instructions
1. Fold the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock in half at the score line. Burnish well with your Bone Folder to create a crisp fold.
2. Adhere the 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Pear Pizzazz Artfully Composed Paper to the front of the card.
3. Adhere the Mixed Leaf Artfully Composed Paper to the card base, 1/4” over from the right side of the the Pear Pizzazz paper.
4. Using the Cut & Emboss Machine, cut out the 2 sizes of the Hippo & Friends dies from the White and Calypso Coral paper.
5. Line up the 2 pieces from the previous step (do not glue together yet) and stamp the sentiment onto the White die-cut using Evening Evergreen ink – it will slightly overlap onto the Calypso Coral Paper.
6. Using your Paper Snip Scissors, cut out 2 of the large ferns from the 4” Leaf pattern. Adhere both of these to the left side of the Calypso Coral paper.
7. Adhere the White sentiment die-cut onto the Calypso Coral/Fern paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere this entire piece to the base card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
