The Few, The Proud, The Graduates with Bonnie Garby

Hi friends.  Bonnie here today from Make Time to Craft and I'm sharing a graduation card made with a couple of my favorite dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I know for some parts of the USA, graduation is all but a fond memory, but here in the Northeast, school is still in session through the third week in June, so it's weird for me to think graduation before now.  If it's too late for your area, you can always switch up the sentiment and use the same card design for another occasion.

I know I've used this Royal Scandinavian Square Doily before many times and that's because it's such a versatile die - and the Tea Roses, I just can't even tell you how often I use those dies!  I love to buy dies that I can use over and over and just by switching up the colors and sentiment and a few embellishments, nobody even notices.  The more I can use a die, the more I like it!  Good for your pocketbook too!

My design is pretty easy to see.  Lots of layers that I love built up on a 5-1/2" square card base with some mulberry paper tucked in between to soften things up.  Some pretty tea roses, some ribbon and a bow and it's done!

Cheery Lynn dies used:

DL280 Royal Scandinavian Doily

XM1 Square

B435 Tea Rose Small

B436 Tea Rose Medium

My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using White and Electric Blue Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I would love for you to let me know what your favorite multi-purpose die is or what Cheery Lynn die you find yourself using over and over again.  

Happy crafting!
