Do you have any graduations to attend this spring? Get started on grad cards now. The Around it All Bundle is a great place to start.

The Full of Life Designer Series papers are great for graduation cards or other celebrations. I did have to cut off all four sides of the 6″ x 6″ paper to get the sunburst pattern centered for this card. The wonky circles from the Around it All Die gives the card a fun fresh feel. The hat did have to be fussy cut.

FYI: Stampin’ Up! Cardstock pricing is increasing with the new catalog. At first they announced that the 8 1/2″ x 11″ Thick Basic White was going away, but after a hue and cry from demonstrators, it will still be available, YAY! It won’t be in the catalog but will be available online.
