Eclipse Technique Graduation Card 2018

Eclipse Technique Graduation Card 2018

This may seem like a bit of an odd card, this Eclipse Technique Graduation Card 2018, but I was trying to incorporate a stamp set I hate to see retire, the Heart Happiness Photopolymer Stamp Setplus the Large Numbers Framelits Dies.

I don’t know why Stampin’ Up! is retiring the Large Number Dies because they are perfect for a card like this! These Large Numbers are great for special occasions and birthdays to denote the year or age or anniversary years.

I also loved the Heart Happiness Stamp Set in the Occasions Catalog.  Even though it may have been thought of as a Valentine set, I know hearts are good for many occasions! And it has all styles of hearts to use!  For this graduation card, you can use whatever the school colors are and stamp on the card front. I just used the same heart randomly stamped with Pacific Point Ink. For the Eclipse Technique just die cut the numbers on the top card layer.  Adhere a darker layer underneath. Then adhere this layer to the card base.  Using Stampin’ Dimensionals or perhaps Mini Dimensionals, adhere the die cut numbers back into their spaces but popped up.  This way you can see a little bit of the dark color underneath.

The greeting is from the stamp set Special CelebrationsFor this card I just left the strip as is and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then for a little bling and contrast to all the blue, I added two little stars in the Metallic Enamel Shapes.

This is the LAST week for the current annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog as well as the Occasions 2018 Catalog!  Don’t forget to check both of these catalogs to make sure you have what you want. It’s best to go to the Online Store. If it is shown there, then it is still available.  If not, it is gone.

Remember, it is graduation time at all levels so be sure you have some graduation cards ready to go!  It doesn’t always have to be a card with a graduation cap either as you can see with this Eclipse Technique Graduation Card 2018!
