Grad Card for a Child

Created this Graduation Card for a young child.

Used From My Kitchen Cricut cartridge for the Gingerbread Cookie. Used Locker Talk Cricut cartridge for the Graduation Hat.

Used a new technique that I saw someone on Internet do which is to split the twine that comes with two different colors twisted together to get 1 color. I split the yellow from the white to use the yellow as the tassel on the Graduation Hat.

For embellishment I use wiggly eyes, red Stickles, buttons, gems & star punch.

Used a Spellbinders die for the banner to stamp whimsy sentiment on.




















Cricut cartridges:
From My Kitchen 4" Gingerbread Cookie
Locker Talk 2" Grad Hat

ink: 
Memento Tuxedo Black
Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain

paper:
4 3/4" x 6 3/4" Base pink cardstock
4 1/2" x 6 1/2" DCWV spring matstack
cardstock - brown, pink

punch: Marvy star

Spellbinders: Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners 


stamp: Joy's Life Yummy Puns sentiment

Stickles: Xmas Red

2 wiggly eyes, buttons, gems, twine
