Time to post April cards . . . .

All of my classes and stamp camps this month occurred within an 8-day period, so I've had little time to post them until now.  This is the first card I made at Sassy Stampers Card Camp in Berthoud on April 11.  It was created as a graduation card, but I also included extra pieces parts and sentiments so it could be used as a birthday or other celebratory card.

Materials (most of this stuff came from my stash -- yes, I've been trying to shop my stash for most of my cards lately -- I've got SO MUCH STUFF!!!!)

* Black card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" (card base)

* White card stock: 5-1/4" x 4", embossed with star embossing folder (the one I used is called Lucky Stars, a vintage Stampin' Up! embossing folder from my stash)

* Black card stock: 5-1/4" x 1-1/2" (mat for patterned paper)

* Stars Patterned Paper: 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" (the pattern shown is by Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby)

* Silver stars were cut from Recollections Silver Foil Card Stock, also from Hobby Lobby, using three vintage Stampin' Up! star punches

* The label dies are from TEMU

* Tiny black stars are Starform stickers purchased from Stamplistic.com.

* Don't really know where the stamps came from, but they were stamped with black VersaFine Clair ink.

* Balloons image was found online and both those and the graduation cap were printed and then cut out with my Scan 'n Cut

Assembly

* Adhere star-embossed card stock to card front.

* Adhere black strip of card stock about 1/2” from right edge of embossed white card stock; adhere patterned paper over black.

* Adhere silver stars as shown.

* Stamp sentiment on white label and adhere to black label.  

* Use foam tape to adhere sentiment and graduation cap or birthday balloons as shown.

* Scatter black glitter star stickers wherever you like.

* Stamp sentiment on remaining white card stock and adhere inside of card.  Add a few black glitter stars.

I hope you enjoy this versatile card design!
