I have several graduation parties this year.  So I thought I might as well play with my Cricut.  I cut several images, not all of them turned out. My first card wasn't perfect but I think the recipient will like it.  I used her school colors.  I thought the addition of the lace was feminine.



I used the sketch I saw for the front panel:



Details of embossing:



The inside is the fun part!  My first pop up with this cart.  I had to find a video on youtube to put it together.

I added some fun details like the diploma for the "one", I saw that on Pinterest, I thought it was so cute.  I also colored the tassel with Wink of Stella.  The final touch was some embroidery floss on the tassel.

Ingredients:

Mix'd Media Denium ink

Recollections Sapphire pearl embossing powder

Stampin Up Tagtastic sentiment

Colorbok sticker letters

Creative Memories sticker

Bazzill card stock

Wink of Stella blue

white floss

Quick Quotes Midnight Confessions chalking ink

This shaped card turned out fine. This one is for a boy at the same school hence another blue tassel.

It was pretty simply so I added this sentiment inside also in blue.
