When my nephew graduated from high school last week, I made a simple card to recognize his important milestone. I immediately knew I would make a card with the big, bold “Hooray!” from the new Big Hooray stamp set, but I wasn’t sure how I would showcase it. With another stamp set and a simple mix of blues, I made this card for Marshall:
The sentiment on my card mixes sentiments from two bold stamp set. The “HOORAY!” is a modern, fun sentiment from Big Hooray. While it fits well with the “BIG” in the stamp set, I pulled “HIP HIP” from the Good Feelings stamp set. What a great combination! Here’s a look at the Big Hooray stamp set:
And here’s a look at the Good Feelings stamp set:
These two, new stamp sets have a similar feel but work well together, too. I’m already planning ways to incorporate the other sentiments in these sets into future projects!
I pulled two of the patterns from the new 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers – I used Night of Navy dots (that really give the feeling of confetti) and Coastal Cabana stripes (that give the feeling of stripes). 🙂 Together, they helped me to build simple pattern for this big, bold sentiment!
Stamp Sets: Big Hooray, Good Feelings Papers: Neutrals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (Night of Navy), Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (Coastal Cabana), Night of Navy, Basic White Inks: Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana Accessories: Stampin’ Dimensionals

“Hip hip” to another cool and fun BK card!
Thanks, Mary! This one took several iterations before I was happy, but I like the finished product. Glad you like it.
What a great card Brian, love the colors, I’m sure Marshal loved it!! congratulations to your nephew!!🎉
Thanks so much! Night of Navy works so well with ALL colors. I initially stamped “HIP HIP” with Poppy Parade, but it looked too patriotic for a graduation card. ♥
Fun card and great colors ! I really like the size and boldness of that HOORAY !
Yay for Marshal !!
The HOORAY is really wonderful, Sonny! I love how bold it is, too.
What a fun card for Marshall. The big sentiment brings a smile! Enjoy your day!
🙂 Thanks so much, Hilda! I hope you are having a wonderful day. ♥
That is an awesome grad card!
Thanks, Windy! There’s no graduate’s cap or diploma scroll, but it works for exactly what I wanted. Glad you like it. ♥
I love cards like this that are for a specific occasion but don’t rely on traditional images to define the design. Perfect sentiment combination.
(And who doesn’t love a striped paper that gives the feeling of…stripes?! 😉 You crack me up!)
Thanks, Linda! I’m so happy you read that – I was pretty proud of myself for that little nugget that I knew most people would miss. 🙂
Nobody does a BOLD statement card like you my friend. LOVE IT!
Awww…thanks, Kadie! This one is bold and beautiful and fun!
Bold and bright! A perfect way to say congrats!
