This is what i came up with~

graduation for the boys



can't get much simpler than these right?

supplies:
paper: indigo island, summer smooch dsp
ink: indigo island, lucky limeade
stamps: perfectly penned
tools: decor border punch
accessories: bakers twine, button, brad

bring on the cake

 have you ever looked at the wide striped ribbon and think, jeesh way to wide to use on my projects! Here is the perfect solution. cut your desired length, and then snip the ENTIRE length in half to  make a thinner ribbon, plus you get twice the amount of pretty ribbon to use! doing this really cuts down on the bulky thickness of your knot too.
supplies:
paper: island indigo, wild wasabi, tangerine tango, whisper white, island indigo dsp
ink: island indigo, tangerine tango, wild wasabi (markers)
stamps:bring on the cake
tools: scallop punch, lrg decor punch, star, scallop square pnchs
accessories: wild wasabi striped 1 1/4" ribbon, stampin dimensionals
