School chalkboard

Hello all! DT Amber here on the blog today. 

Last days of summer are closing fast. With my son starting school next week I wanted to jump on the bandwagon for making him a back to school chalkboard. 

First thing I did was got some black cardstock.

I then used a piece of white calk and rubbed it all over the paper. I pressed a bit hard.

Then I used a tissue to wipe it off but genitally. 

I did the two steps until I got the look I wanted.

I used my cricut air 2 to write on the paper.

I then put together the CK Diploma Bear and added to the bottom of the sign.

I used my cricut to add the year he would graduate on the diploma. I used foam dots on the cap.

Thanks for taking a look.

Have a wonderful craft day!

Graduation Day Card

Happy Tuesday Kadoodle Bug fans!

Today I'm bringing you a super simple but super cute card made using one of the images from the Graduation Day set.

The gold accents on her cap & gown I cut out of Gold mirror board and the sentiment is cut out of gold vinyl.

Have a fab day!!

Giraffe Graduation Shaker Card

Hey Kadoodle Bug Fans,

         I hope you are having a great week so far!! I don't know about you guys, but last week was crazy busy for me. On Wednesday, I went on a Field trip with my niece bowling and to the park all day. On Thursday, I celebrated my birthday with my family at the park. We had barbeque because I was craving it and had ice cream cake. The cake was sort of a disaster because it was melted a little bit by the time we ate it. On Friday, my nieces only had a half a day of school, so I watched them till their mom got off work. On Saturday and Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day at two locations. I was beginning to wonder if I would finish the card on time, but I finally finished it. Yay!! : ). I used two different files from Kadoodle Bug Designs to create this card. I used Cutie Katoodles Bathtime Giraffe and Cutie Katoodles Graduation Owl.

My favorite parade is the Rose Bowl Parade that airs on New Years Day. I just love all the flowers and colors on the floats they always inspire me. So my inspiration for this graduation card was from the Rose Bowl Parade this year. UPS had a float with a giraffe on it wearing glasses re. When I saw that float I thought it was so cute, so I knew eventually I wanted to make a card with a giraffe wearing glasses. I decided to make a shaker card and put the giraffe on top.

Owl Graduation Card

Hey KDB Fans,

         I hope you guys are having a great Tuesday!! The weather where I'm at today is gorgeous, it's sunny but really hot. So, todays project is a girly graduation card. I used the Cutie Katoodles Graduation Owl from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

My Sister requested that I make a girly graduation card for someone she knows. Whenever I make a card for someone I know or if it's an order for a customer, I like to know what their favorite colors are and what they like. I think it adds an extra personalized touch.  I asked what she wanted and she said an owl because the girl loves owls and to make it bright and colorful. I embossed the background with a iridescent embossing powder and used a woodgrain stamp set. I just loved how that turned out.
