Lovely As a Tree Graduation Card

May 29, 2018 5 Comments

Hi Friends! I have to tell you, I am soooo happy winter is over. While this past winter wasn’t too bad in the way of snow or storms, the cold seasons do last LONG here on the East Coast of Canada. Growing up on Vancouver Island, I’m used to blossoms, daffodils and tulips in March and April. In Nova Scotia however, it’s not unusual to get snow in those months.  In fact, this morning – just a few days before June – we woke up to frost. Ugh. But on the upside, Spring has finally sprung on this side of the country and I am thoroughly content to be back outside playing in my veg and flower gardens!

Last fall we had to cut down three huge pine trees that had unfortunately died, so I’m going to create flower beds in their place.  I’ve been having lots of fun planning the trees, shrubs and plants I want to use.

My Sweetheart has tilled my vegetable garden for me and he’s planning on making it even bigger. Last year I had it packed full of veg that I turned into pickles, relishes and salsa and I know I’ll be making more come this autumn. I’m going to wait a while longer, to ensure the threat of frost has passed, before I start planting any seeds. In the meantime my rhubarb is ready to be picked and the black currant bushes are full of berries for this year’s batch of Creme de Cassis.

 Let’s get on to today’s card!

The graduation season is nearly upon us and the card I’m sharing with you today is ideal for that special grad in your life. If you want the card to be more feminine, just change up the Designer Series Paper and coordinating card stock and keep the rest of the card the same. Of course, this layout would also work great with different stamp sets too – adding the circle focal point is always a classic design!

I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…

    I have read so much about the new Stamparatus that I would love to win one. I am from Wisconsin. I stumbled on your blog through Frenchie's blog. I love how Stampin' Up! has everything that coordinates: stamps with punches, stamps with dies, stamps with DSP, I love it all. Thanks for the chance to win.

    Hi Tina, I'm from the West Coast and live in Abbotsford BC. I found your blog one day while doing an on-line search for Canadian Stampin' Up! Demos and have been a follower of your videos and blog posts for a long time. I love your creativeness and think out of the box approach and the wonderful stories you share on your posts. Congratulations on your "Over 1 Million Views" but it's definitely not hard to see why you are such a popular stamping blogger! I love this masculine card you've shared today and that it could be changed up to feminine with just the switch of DSP and colours. Lovely as a Tree is one of my favourite all time Stampin' Up Stamps and it never goes out of style, especially when shared on a great card like this.

    I found your blog surfing the net for card ideas. I love making cards and boxes. Stamping Up products are fantastic, really love that paper ink and ribbons etc. are all color matching.
    Glad to see Lovely as a Tree is returning.

    Hi Tina, I have read your blog for quite awhile, not sure when I came upon it. Love Stampin Up for all the products that color correspond. Always have a long wish list when a new catalog comes out. I am really interested in the stamparatus, thank you for a chance to win.
