Congratulations double pop up card

I wanted to do something special for Kehlsey (my friend Louise's daughter) who graduated from nursing school.

 the cover I cut from scrapbook paper called Rosewood.

I edged the sides with a border punch which added to the plain panels.

To make the pop up, I used my trimmer and made two inner cuts from 1 1/4" down from the top edge and each cut is 1" apart and 1"from each side. To make the risers, I scored 1/2".

To make the extra pop up, I cut a 4" strip with 1/2" tabs to be glued to the main pop up. 

I look forward to making more surprise cards.

Engagement Card

My Daughter wanted to give her friend an engagement card. This is what we came up with.

Stampin' Up Embossing folder, flat back pearls and sentiment.

The inside is a white on white layer that I used the retired ticket punch and she added a generic Congratulations sentiment and more flat back pearls.

Flutter of Congrats

As mentioned in the previous post - my daughter had great news for us. She was accepted into one of the VP positions of her sorority chapter!! I am so proud of her - not only in her 3rd out of 6 year college program but also a standing member of a sorority.

So I wanted to create this card for her (the colors of their sorority is purple and gold) so I embossed the base with the SU folder, added a border of MS punch with gold glitter wired ribbon.

Stamped and embossed the butterflies (SU stamp) as well as the sentiment.
I added these pearls with shimmer to the center of the motifs.

I am entering this in the following challenges

Embossed the deep purple cs with Versamark and black embossing power. Wrapped it with gold cording. (Their colors are purple and gold).
Added a Spellbinders medallion (I was looking for gold pearls but gosh darn - I don't think I have any. I may try coloring white ones with my sharpie and repost)
Embossed in gold powder on the sentiment.
