Hats Off!

Today I decided to bring you a quick graduation card. I used the retired A Graduate stamp set. I don’t know a lot of graduates so this stamp set will probably make cards for every future graduate I know. The tumbling mortar boards remind me of when they all get tossed in the air at the end of graduation (I myself didn’t toss mine because I was afraid I’d lose it!) I don’t know if I thought I’d ever wear it again or what!

I saved the “wow factor” for the inside. I made a pop-up card…the old fashioned way instead of setting up my Cricut. The “hooray banner” is from a retired Hostess set which I mounted on Red and Black c/s. I then stamped the 2015 from the A Graduate stamp set. I wasn’t happy with how plain it looked so I stamped a mortar board on a scrap and fussy cut it and popped it on with a piece of thin 3D foam tape.
