Hat shaped Graduation Card

Hi all,
Today I am sharing a card I made for my daughter's friends Graduation Party.

I used Wild Card for the card shape and the class of 2011. I forgot to write down the sizes I cut everything at. I think I used fit to page for the card, and the title I sized using my Gypsy to fit on the front.

It may be hard to see, but I cut the card twice so I could make the top of the hat two layers. I then made a tassel using some skinny ribbon I had in my stash, and attached it to the top of the hat using a brad.

The inside of the card has a yellow tag made using two Stampin' Up punches and a SU Happy Graduation stamp.


I haven't made many of these shaped cards. I did not cut the corresponding envelope for this card, but used a store bought 6.5" square envelope. Maybe next card I cut from here, I'll cut the matching card with it. I have been told that you need to cut the envelope first, then size the card accordingly. maybe I'll add that to my list of things to try for the month of August.

Thanks for visiting today.

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Chocolate Bunny Card

Hi All! I just wanted to share a silly little card I made last year around Easter. It is from an older cartoon, I think maybe from Gary Larsen.



I used the Easter Seasonal cartridge, as well as Wild Card. I cut two chocolate bunnies at 3.66". I used a small oval and welded it onto the ears of one of the bunnies to fill in that bite mark.

I then used a scalloped circle punch to simulate the larger bite marks on the two bunnies.

Other cuts from the Easter cartridge are bow @ 1.09", Grass @ 1.35" cut twice as well as the Happy Easter @ 1.83 for the inside of the card.

I cut the thought bubbles from Wild card @ 1.87". I used small rub-ons to put the words in the thought bubbles.

All the cardstock was from my stash, possibly Bazzil. I finished the card by inking the edges of the card and base layer.

Hope you enjoyed my silly little card.
I hope you all have a fantastic Easter Weekend!

Have a Great and Crafty Day!
