Congrats Graduation Card

Made this Congrats Graduation Card using Locker Talk Cricut cartridge GradHat and Wild Card Diploma. Printed the background Congrats paper from digi paper (Avery) onto white cardstock. Used VersaMark with Stamp 'n Chalk Buzz N Magic Chalk Gold Nugget metallic chalk to give the GradHat Tassel a shine. The shine is pretty seen in person.  Popped up the GradHat using foam adhesive for 3D look. Rolled some vellum paper up to look more like an old fashion diploma. Nowadays they hand you your diploma in a matted book like thingie (not sure what to call them). When daughter graduated from Preschool & also Kindergarten they handed the diploma rolled up like this. Added a ribbon to the Diploma.

  8. Great card....I know what you mean about the new diplomas. I like the vellum one you created though! Makes it hard to scrap the diplomas now that they come in plaques and things. TFS with us in the Creative Cutter Room. Hugs Cathie
