The theme of this week's CAS-ual Friday's Challenge is to make a graduation card. Well, I did just that. Only… it's for next year :) I'm fresh out of grads for this year so I'm getting a HUGE jump on the grad cards for next year!
I used PTI's By The Numbers dies to cut 2012 out of shiny copper DP. If you visit my blog, you know ow much I love stamping on vellum! The sentiment is from Inside Out: Baby (PTI). It's a bit hard to make out in the pic but I scored a border around the linen cardstock . I added a couple of black brads for a little extra somethin', somethin'. Clean and simple.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
TTFN,
Ingredients (all Papertrey Ink unless otherwise stated):
Stamps: Inside Out: Baby
Ink: Tuxedo black (Memento)
Paper: Fine linen, smokey shadow, vellum, patterned paper (DCVW)
Other: By the numbers dies (PTI), Scor Pal, black brads

I just love this, Andrea...and the reason I love it so much is that I was using those exact dies to make a 2011 card and the layers weren't working and the numbers didn't fit across in a row and I made a totally different card in the end, but so wanted to use the # dies....so thank you for this inspiration!! I think I will take the card apart and renovate it :) just gorgeous!
Andrea its Fabulous! Love the fun patterned numbers and the scored frame is awesome! I don't know if I'm more impressed with this super CAS grad card or the fact that its for NEXT year! You rock ;) Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
This is awesome! I have that paper and never thought about using it with the numbers die. Brilliant. The whole card is really cool.

I love this card. I found it when I was posting my graduation card on CAS-Fridays. Your card caught my eye and inspired me to make a different graduation card for my nephew. I don't like my old card anymore. I love my new card, based on your card. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I am now a subscriber, so I can start out with a card I like FIRST. Thanks. (Here is my version of your card, if you are interested: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1984476?&cat=500&ppuser=267367)

Great idea to jump ahead! Lovely card. ;)
Oh Andrea, this is so well done. I love that subtle embossed frame and the vellum strip is so classy. Can grad cards be elegant? If so, you WIN! I'm so glad you joined us for CAS-ual Fridays.
Perfecto! You are a genius with vellum. And those coppery numbers are too cool!
How can something so CAS be so absolutely beautiful. Fabulous design. The shimmer of the numbers and the vellum are the perfect touches. Bravo on a job well done.
LOVE the scoring, Andrea and the copper numbers! And YES I always love your stamping on vellum! GREAT card!
Awesome graduation card! Love the numbers and the vellum strip over it. :o)
Andrea - this is simply wonderful - those numbers and vellum are perfect for a simple, clean and elegant graduate card!
This is such a smart card, I love stamping onto vellum too and those gems finish the card beautifully.
