Inspired Stamps Graduation Card

I am sharing a graduation card today using a favorite scripture I have quoted my boys throughout their lives. The scripture and sentiment stamps are from the Inspired Stamps His Plans stamp set

Inspired Stamps Grad Card

Welcome to an early Inspired Stamps post. I have several graduates in my life and wanted to share one of the cards I've made for them.  I used one of the adorable His Little Ones stamps today. There are several of these little cuties to choose from.  I also used 1 of the great scriptures from the His Plans stamp set.

Inspired Stamps 2x2 Single Scriptures

Today's post is not one of my typical projects.  This has not been a typical week! Our youngest son (of 3) graduated from high school on Saturday and we had a huge celebration with friends and family following the ceremony.  When planning the decor, I knew I wanted to incorporate scripture and of course, the simplest way to do that was to use the Inspired Stamps Single Scripture Stamps. 

I used 3 different stamps to help decorate this printer's tray.  They are on the right in this photo-Micah 6:8, Ephesians 2:10 and Ephesians 6:11.  I wanted to create a display for his photos that also held meaning and I believe this did exactly what I wanted!

Graduation Rosettes w/Cricut Explore

My crafty friend Colleen at Col's Creative Corner posted an adorable centerpiece and tutorial using rosettes for NSD and then challenged others to post a rosette project for a chance at a prize. Thank you Colleen for doing that because it kicked my rear into gear to start on the decor for my youngest son's HS graduation party next month.

This is the result-4 fairly large rosettes to hang on the mantel..  They are shown hanging from my kitchen drawers so you can tell they aren't little.  I used my wonderful Cricut Explore to cut everything and it even scored the rosettes for me-what an amazing time saver.  I love rosettes but always hated scoring them so rarely made any.  The scoring stylus for the Explore made these easy peasy to do.  Can't wait to celebrate!

Inspired Stamps Grad Card

I created this card for our youngest son who will graduate from High School in June.  The other 2 graduated in 2012 and 2005 from the same high school.  It is amazing to me how quickly the years have flown by and we will be sending our youngest baby bird out of the nest!

I used one of the owls again from the Inspired Stamps Owls set and colored him in the school colors.  The sentiments are from the same stamp set.  The globe is from the Hymn: Earth and Weather Stamp Set and the scripture is from the versatile His Plans Set. All cardstock is by Bazzill and I used the fun new Tim Holtz mini ink pads.  Both can be found on the Inspired Stamps website now.
