Instructions

BASE CARD

Start with black card stock, cut to 5 1/2" x 11", score at 5 1/2" and fold.

MAT

Cut the orange card stock to 5 3/8" x 5 3/8", and round all 4 corners. Cut the black swirl paper to 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" using a scalloped blade. Mount the black swirl mat onto the orange mat. Glue black & white twine in a curve around the top two corners.

Cut/emboss 4 orange banners, 4 gold stars, and 1 gold tassel. Glue 2 banners on the twine in each corner, and adhere a gold star to each banner.

Cut a six-inch strip of gold ribbon. Tie a bow using gold ribbon onto the ribbon strip then mount across the mat using double-sided tape, with the bow on the far left of the card. Mount the mat with ribbon onto the front of the card. Glue the tassel just below the bow.

IMAGE

Resize the graduate image to be 3 1/4" in height. Print the image on white card stock. Cut/emboss the image using an petite oval die. Cut/emboss an orange scalloped oval using a die just larger than the oval used to cut out the image.

Color the image with COPIC markers. I used these colors:

  • Skin: E0000, E01, R20
  • Hair: E55, E57
  • Cap & Gown: C3, C5, C7, 100
  • Skirt: YG61 & YG67 - OR - C3 & C5
  • Tie & Shoes: YR12, YR14
  • Diploma: E30, E31
  • Shadow: C0, C1
  • Tassel: Gold SPICA

Mount the image oval onto the orange scalloped oval, then adhere it to the card front.

SENTIMENT

Stamp the sentiment in black ink on white card stock. Punch it out using the oval punch. Punch a scalloped oval from black card stock. Mount the sentiment oval onto the black oval. Color the star in the sentiment with the gold SPICA pen. Mount the sentiment to the lower right of the image using foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lisa Lynne,

Your cards always make me smile. I told you before that we must have been cut from the same mold as our cardmaking styles and our design sense is so similar. Every time I see a card of yours and read your comments about it, its as if I could have created the same exact card. Strange, but true.

I'll forever rememeber the amazing gifts you gave to me and the rest of the stamping world You were truly a gift and a treasure...Praying for you and your family as they grieve your loss. You will be truly missed!

The Heartfelt Creations tribute blog hop honoring Lisa Lynne was very moving. Lisa was a friend for many years and a crafting buddy for the last 4 or 5 years. She was such a great friend, person, mentor, crafter, the list could go on & on........... I truly miss you but know you are at peace in heaven. Whenever I get down & miss you I will pull out the many cards you sent to me over the years & remember your smile! Thanks for being my friend.

I was on the Heartfelt DT with Lisa Lynn for 8 months. Even though we never met in person, my life was blessed by Lisa Lynn through all the cheerful and positive attributes she shared with the HC Team. She is truly missed by us all. She provided so much creative inspiration and I will always appreciate that. My sympathy is extended to Joe, her family, and her friends.

By Joe Wright

There is a plaque on our bedroom wall that we've had for years that reads

I'd Marry You All Over Again

With tiny tears that glistened,
my eyes were fixed on you,
and thinking of the life we'd share
we softly said, I do.

Our hearts were knit together
from the time that we first met,
and memories were gathered
that we will never forget.

While daily living life with you,
you saw the real me,
and still you chose acceptance,
a life long mystery.

With many happy times gone by
and others when we cried,
some days we'd share so endlessly,
while other days we'd hide.

With all the ups and downs
we've had in learning to be friends
I know that in this heart of mine,
I'd marry you all over again.


Lisa absolutely loved being married to me, she saw it as her purpose in life. While I'm not sure she knew it, I loved being married to her every bit as much. Lisa spent our whole life together always putting me first. And if i could tell her just one thing besides how much I loved her, it would be that she succeded in her most important desire, being the best wife anyone could ask for.

I met Lisa in college and we knew immediately that we were kindred spirits. Meeting her, falling in love with her, marrying her, and knowing we would spend the rest of our lives together, were the best things that ever happened to me. And I must say the wonderful 35 year adventure I shared with Lisa was nothing short of a spectacular.

There are so many things I have Lisa to thank for. My college degree, my CPA certificate, my life in Dallas, the two business we started, my love for dancing, the many friends we had, the security and confidence her love and unconditional support gave me, but most of all the wonderful life she shared with me.

What I will miss most about Lisa' is her beautiful smile, her kind sprit and compassion, and how she always put everyone else's needs above her own. Lisa was one of the most unselfish people I have ever known. Lisa lived by the golden rule, treat others as you would have them treat you. Lisa accepted people for who they were and never ever tried to change them. She didn't just overlook peoples short commings, she refused to see them. She always accepted me for who I was and never once asked me to give up a single dream of mine, no matter what it was.

Lisa always worried about letting people down, but the reality is, I don't think she ever let anyone down. In the last card she wrote to me, she said she always knew on the stuff that mattered most, she could depend on me. I prey that is true.

Lisa, I'm sorry for all the times I let you down or didn't live up to the example you set and I'm so sorry for the times I hurt you. I hope you know I never meant to.

I always knew how much you loved me. And now I pray each day that you knew how much I loved you, admired you, and respected you. I was so lucky to have you in my life. You mad everyday of my life special. I am so proud of you for all the things you accomplished and how you always stayed the same sweet wonderful girl I met 35 years ago.

Goodbye my sweet sweet Lisa. I will miss you more then words can ever express. For the last 35 years we blazed all our trails together. I'm so sorry you had to make this last journey alone.

Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, fantastic blog!
