Hi Stampin' friend! How are you? Hopefully you are doing well today.
I'm back with the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for you today, and this month we are focusing on those milestones in life. Even though we can't attend these events, and some if not most have been cancelled right now, it doesn't mean that we won't need cards for them.....eventually....
One way or another I'll be able to give these to my kiddo. He's supposed to be graduating 8th grade this year. He was supposed to go to Disneyland for a class trip, he was supposed to go to his 8th grade dance, he was supposed to be doing all those extra special things to celebrate moving from Middle School to High School. Whether or not he finishes his school year at his school, or here at home with me, we will find a way to celebrate! So, for this month's hop theme, I made a card and decorated a box to hold a gift card in his school colors.
The details for both are pretty similar. I embossed the background with the AWESOME Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder, which is PERFECT for masculine cards! I used the Stitched Nested Dies to cut the shape from Crushed Curry Cardstock, then I stamped the "You did it!" sentiment repeatedly in Crushed Curry ink. The main sentiment is from the Seriously the Best stamp set (it just might be) and I stamped it in Versamark Ink on Basic Black cardstock, then heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I LOVE the little 2020 tag, which is just a tag from the Magnolia Lane Cork Accents which I cut down!
The box essentially uses all the same materials, I just added the strip Of Basic Black cardstock around the Clear Acetate Card Box first, then layered my pieces on that.
I hope that you enjoy today's hop. This team never disappoints and I am so excited to see what they have created for us!

Beautiful card and delivery! It's sad that our seniors can't celebrate their final year before they enter official adulthood.
