Here's how I created my hybrid (both digi and rubber stamps) Graduation - Party Time! project:
I started out by layering one of the digi banners that come with the digi bundle on top of the digi graduation cap. One of the great things about digi versions is that you can resize the image and then move it or angle it however you want. Once I was happy with the size and angle of the banner's placement, I printed out the completed image and colored it with Copic markers.
I then added Glossy Accents to the bottles and used a Sakura glue pen to add glue to the letters on the banner and covered the glue with Periwinkle glitter.
Using the Nesting Stars die (from Lifestyle Crafts), I die cut the largest star from a piece of Super Adhesive Sheet. I added pop dots behind the center of the image and then adhered the focal point to the center of the star.
The banner edges are adhered directly to the star base (not pop dotted). It is curved, like a banner would be in real life.
Once the focal image was adhered, I covered the rest of the adhesive on the star with more Periwinkle glitter.
The sentiment was created by first die cutting a scrap of white cardstock using an old Spellbinders die (Ribbon Tag Trio Two). Once it was die cut, Distress Inks (Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin) were used to give it some color. I dripped droplets of water on the ink for a two-toned look. Then I stamped the sentiment with Versa Fine ink and heat set it with Clear embossing powder. This really gives the ink a lot of dimension. This was then treaded through some twill ribbon and adhered to the front of the card.

Happy Hopping,
