Grad Banner

Hello, Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine here!   So, I decided to pull double duty with this post.  Yup, I have a High School graduate in 2 weeks. YIKES!!!  Then I will have 2 college kids, where does the time go?! 

Ok enough with that! On with the details!!!

This banner is in a kit JGW Up for Grads Everything in this is PERFECT for that big day!

The paper I used for this was Doodlebug Design's Hat's off Collection

and Doodlebug's Cardstock

I used Trendy Twine's Totally Blue wrapped 5 times to string the banner.

other products used were my Silhouette Cameo and 

my Xyron 5in and X and runner. 

Looking forward to hanging this for the special event! Thank you so much for all the love.

Graduation Box Card with Roses.

Are you still looking for a  nice graduation card?

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and I have the answer.

Today is my turn on  SVG Attic and I made a Box Card combining shapes from two different files.

Start by using the Grad Box Card from the SDS Grad Party collection

The file has three years to choose from including 2017.  There are also lots of extra pieces you can add to your project.

I chose not to use the balloons because I wanted to make my card a little more elegant.

I replaced the balloons with some of the roses from the
JGW Flower Box card Bouquet Collection



The Roses fit perfectly in the Graduation box without resizing.
I used tab 2 (4 roses) for the back,  and two of tab 1. (numbers are on the pieces)



Next, use Foam Pop Dots to add the flowers to the back of the different tabs and fill in the box.



To finish use gold card stock for the sign and bow on the diploma and gold foil vinyl to add the numbers and the word congratulations.

The best part of these card boxes is they fold up for mailing.
Perfect for those who are celebrating away from you.

Now it's your turn!

Pirate Ship Center Pieces

Tracy here again to share with you my newest project.

You may or may not know but I work for the High School here.

We are they Cyprus Pirates.

So what does that have to do with anything?

Its graduation this week and last Tuesday it was our Senior's Award Night.

On Monday I was asked (told)  if I could come up with some decorations for the tables.

Here is what they told me:

*We don't really have a budget for this so we need to keep it as inexpensive as possible

* We don't have a lot of time (two days) so they need to be simple and quick

* We have 24 tables

*We want a pirate theme and gold coins.

Hmm.

SVG Attic to the rescue.  I went to the website and found some fun pirate files and this is what I came up with.

To create the ship I used the  SDS Pirate Ship file 

and the SDS Skull Medaliion file

 I started with a very basic box shape.

Open the pirate ship file and size it as needed (mine stands about 8" tall).

Cut out two ships with all the pieces, be sure to mirror one of the ships.

Ink all of the flags and assemble adding the flags with foam pop dots.

To finish it, I added the skull from the SDS Skull Medallion (cut from vinyl or as a print and cut) to the middle flag and then tied kite string  around the flag polls.

 

To finish. add the ships to two opposite  sides of the box.

For a little more at the table I created place cards with the SDS skull medallions, using our school colors. To finish it all up I made a few more medallions to place on the table with the gold coins.

The boxes were also filled with gold coins but I forgot to get a picture before they were all eaten. 

It was a simple project but I was able to get all 24 tables done with time to spare; and got lots of compliments when it was all said and done (bonus points with the boss!)

Graduation Card and Layout with Beth

Happy Saturday!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  I decided to go with a graduation theme since my 6 year old is going to have his Kindergarten graduation soon and talks about it every day!

First I created the step card from the JGW Up For Grads set.  I used the school colors for the card.  I created a tassel out of Totally Red Trendy Twine for the hat.

Then I made the matching envelope that is included in that set.

Then I created an 8.5x11" graduation layout that is from the Hat's Off SVG Collection.  It is actually a 12x12" layout in the set, but I imported all the pieces into my software and sized them all to fit on a 8.5x11" sheet of paper.

I added some stickers that came with the paper pack along with the SVG's.  I also placed some homemade enamel dots on the page.

I popped up the numbers with foam tape and added a bow of Celebration Trendy Twine.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
