Graduation Time Cased Card!!!

Yep! everybody it is that time of year....you have to let your high school Seniors go and you parents of the college Seniors know they are embarking on a new life of adulthood.  Well, here is a card to help you celebrate that moment.  Thanks to Dawn Olchefske and her You Tube video! This is an adorable card and very easy to make.  I had been wanting to buy the Bigz L Perfect Pennant die and when I saw this card that was the deciding factor.
She even has a video on how to make the tassel. She truly takes the hassle out of making the tassel!  LOL! Please visit Dawn on her blogspot.  You can change this to any color combination and have a wonderful card.  You will only need the following Stampin' Up supplies:   Stamp set: Sweet Essentials. Card stock:  Basic Black 121045, Whisper White 100730, Ink:  Basic Black 126980, Tools and accessories: Bakers Twine Whisper White 124262 (for tassel), brads 1/8" 122941, the larger brad I used is retired, Perfect Pennants Bigz L die 123126, Big Shot 113439, stripes embossing folder 123128, paper piercing tool 126189, dimenmsionals 104045 these were used for the hat and the sentiment.  For the flag end on the sentiment I used the 1" square 124094. This was a fun and easy card to do and still has a great impact. Tip from Dawn was very useful,  when using embossing folders always add a little extra tape to assure the card stock will stick to the base card.

You will be seeing more graduation cards over the next week.  Hope you have time to make one of these and leave a comment.  Love to read them and I will answer you back.  Thanks Dawn for such a wonderful blog and for sharing.  To purchase the products used in this project please click on the catalog in the sidebar.

Happy Stamping,
