Graduation Card

It has been a while since I have been on my blog, I have been going through chemo and radiation and now I am back on chemo again. This is a good time for me to catch up on my blog so here is the card I made today. I have a graduation open house to go to in another couple of weeks and because I have so many cards I need in the month of June, I am getting a head start. The other thing I want to mention before I describe this card is that I have challenged myself to use only papers, stamps, and embellishments I already have, in other words make cards without buying anything or using up some of my scrap paper instead of full sheets. Okay, that being said, this is a card using black, white, and red paper. I did have to use a full sheet of black, I didn't have scraps big enough to make the base. What I wanted was a card to hold money. The card base measures 6 1/2 x 8 1/4 and scored at 3" and 6", very simple. The numbers, 2016, were cut out on my Cricut along with the graduation hat. The tassel on the had was colored in with a black pen. It's hard to see in this picture, the numbers were cut out of the white paper and then put on to the black paper with lift tape. There is a fold on the inside that with hold the money. It is an easy, clean card and can be made in an about an hour. If you don't own a Cricut, take sticker numbers or rub on numbers, it won't look that different. Hope you enjoyed it!
