Miss Kate Cuttables Graduation Owl Congrats for Bitten by the Bug 2

Hello and welcome to the latest Bitten by the Bug 2 Graduation challenge.  I used some Cricut and some Miss Kate Cuttables images.  I had cut this owl before and I actually cut two of them. One with a tie and one without.

The white collar didn't seem to fit correctly.  On this version I fussy cut my own.  So this one looks a little different.

If you look closely, you can see who the white collar is a little different. There's a little bit of brown showing between the gown and collar on this one. It just bothered me.

Ingredients:

Cricut 3 Birds Life's a Party

Miss Kate Cuttables Graduation Owl

Creative Memories Black & White Power palette

misc card stock

Obligatory Graduation Card for Bitten By the Bug's Graduation Challenge

This year's graduates are in a very unique situation.  I have a few grads in my life so I created a stack of easy Cricut graduation cards. This first one was made for a very special recipient.  I can't wait to send it.  I am sure if you are a card maker you are trying to make this years' graduation feel a little extra special since they are missing their traditional ceremonies.  So share you fantastic makes with us at Bitten By the Bug 2's Graduation Challenge open until 5/25.

One trick to creating a "stack" of cards is to use all the bits and pieces.  I have used the negative cuts from the original card to make an entirely different card.  The original is on the right.  I used it for placement of the negative pieces prior to assembling it.  I placed the negatives on a fun tie dyed paper as well, it just happens to be monochromatic so it looks like a sky.  I liked it.

 

The negative of this card didn't hold up so well with the think letters.  I had to trash most of these pieces but kept the hat for another card later.  This one has already been mailed.  I also made a couple of others not pictured.

Ingredients:

Bitten By the Bug 2 Graduation challenge

Good morning, I hope you get to sleep in on this Memorial Day.  I know I am looking forward to it.   I am hosting the challenge over at Bitten By the Bug 2 today and the theme is Graduation. As I celebrate this holiday, I take a look back at last year's and my son's graduation ceremony.  I am sure whether you have a child or not, you know someone graduating.  If not adding graduation card to your stash or creating a layout of a past graduation would be perfect projects for the theme.

I began my layout with this beautiful frame from Anna's Decorative Monogram cart and this quote on a sticker from Creative Memories. 

The diploma is a "scroll" from Wild Card. I detailed the tie with a pen.  The photo frame is from CTMH Artistry.

The graduation cap is from Locker Talk, a cartridge I recently acquired at a crafty yard sale.  I am glad it has already been used!  I detailed this cut with pens as well.

Ingredients:

Cricut cartridges:  Wild Card, Locker Talk, Close to My Heart Artistry, and Anna's Decorative Monogram

Creative Memories Black & White Power Palette papers and sticker sentiment

Creative Memories black card stock

Bazzill Two Scoops Black Walnut textured card stock

 Spellbinders Large Deckeled Rectangles

Distress marker Fossilized Amber

American Craft Precision Black pen

3-D sticker


I used the following Sketch N Scrap layout sketch #130 as inspiration.

Miss Kate Cuttables Graduation Owl

Hello, I am gearing up for my Miss Kate Cuttables Guest Designer post in a couple of days.  I just love her owls and this Graduation version was perfect for my niece's graduation card.  The sentiment is a different cut file but they work great together.

To make my owl a little more feminine I put a pearl in the middle of the tie.  I also felt the background paper from Quick Quotes lent to the feminine quality of the card.  I added dots to the eyes with a silver pen.  I believe the stars and diploma were part of the sentiment cut file.  I love those stars with the two layers, I will definitely be using them again.

Ingredients:

Miss Kate Cuttables Graduation Owl and Graduation Day

Quick Quotes Serenade 101 paper (background)

misc card stock from my stash
