My son, Jesse will be graduation soon, and because we didn't have the opportunity to order any of the 'official' graduation paraphernalia, I only made the invitations for his graduation party. I started out in My Digital Studio for the main 'attraction'. I knew I wanted neat printing for all the information, so I chose a stamp set called 'Introducing'. A text box was added as a layer on top of the stamp set, with the text typed in according to the lines. I adjusted the line spacing a little, though it didn't line up perfectly. Now, what to do with the background? We're talking an 18 year old boy, and frilly and fussy just won't do! So, I came across another stamp set called 'Basic Black Texture', changed the color to Real Red, and adjusted the size to fit my project. Yeah! He liked it!
Now to get enough. I grouped all the parts of my project, then simply copied and pasted it three more times on the whole page, exported to a .jpeg file and printed. Took a few steps to make it look the way I wanted it, but the final result was worth the effort.
Jesse wanted Red and Black for his cards, so for the finishing touch, I mounted the printed invitation on black cardstock and added silver eyelets in the middle of each side. I liked the look, and Jesse liked the finished product. Mission accomplished!
Happy Stamping,
Twila
