Hello friends, welcome to another wonderful Monday! Each Monday begins with a new challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, and this weeks challenge...
"You Did It"
Make a Graduation card or project
remember to include a cricut cut image somewhere on your project
I've been thinking about this shape card in my head for a few days now and I was able to quickly design it using my Gypsy and then put it together. I rarely use my cricut machine without my gypsy... really almost never, I love my gypsy! The letters "CONGRATS" are from the Birthday Bash cartridge, and were welded together. The graduation hat is from Everyday Paper Dolls.
The tassel was made using grosgrain ribbon from Stampin' Up. You can see a video -HERE showing how to make this type of tassel, as well as another fun graduation card. I made the graduation card in the video for this weeks My Craft Spot challenge, my card can be found -HERE.

I designed this card to fit in a legal size envelope (the long -approx. 9 1/2" x 4" size) using several layers.
I like to use the colored fun foam or craft foam as some call it to create a "pop-up" effect when working with black cardstock, instead of using my usual white mounting tape so it's not as noticeable. I used black and orange fun foam for this project. I purchased the multi color package so I have several colors on hand.
I cut the fun foam into strips and then smaller pieces, the size that I need, I use tacky glue to adhere it to the cardstock.
The tassel was made using grosgrain ribbon from Stampin' Up. You can see a video -HERE showing how to make this type of tassel, as well as another fun graduation card. I made the graduation card in the video for this weeks My Craft Spot challenge, my card can be found -HERE.
The black cardstock is the "shadow" font feature from the Birthday Bash cartridge, the orange and white are the layered font.
I added stitching using an extra fine sharpie pen on the orange "CONGRATS" image.

ReplyDeleteRobin, this is another marvelous card. :o) The tassel is seriously amazing and I love that you used fun foam for dimension! The cap perched atop the shaped base is a great idea and I also love how you did the inside. :o) This tassel idea is truly amazing... it would look gorgeous on a fancy pillow/chair cut! :o) Lovely work, as always. :o)
