 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
Cricut Everyday Pop Up cards images
fiber 
blue pearls

 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.

    I love the classic look of your first card, but the wow factor when you open it! Love the trim. I'm very fond of shaped card, so your second card grabbed me, too! Great work. As always, it was a pleasure hopping with you!
