What a fun inspiration site! I spent quite a bit of time last night looking thru the site. For my Grad set, I was inspired by Contemporary Spring Tree Scene . I really like the metal sculptures and quite a few of the tree scenes went into this.
The wonderful bridge scene from For the Graduate was stamped onto oatmeal c/s and colored w/ markers. The greeting from As You Graduate was stamped inside an Ironworks Border on a piece of vellum. I added a thin, lt green frame and attached it over the image. I used part of a 1 inch circle punch to cut the corners. The card front was embossed w/ a Sizzix Christmas folder. I put shims all around the edges in order to just emboss the frame and not the Christmas greeting that is in the middle.
The item on the right is a little double pocket card holder. This is how it looks all folded up. For the open views, please see the next picture.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

I was admiring this set on the ODBD blog, and thinking it was a definite must have. Thanks for showing the opened up card holder too, it's such a lovely project.

Oh my gosh, what an elegant Grad set, I just love that oatmeal CS and the velum word over the scenery. Wonderful to add a matching card holder set. What a great Grad gift!! Beautifully done!!
