 Hi Crafting Friend, Do you know any graduates that deserve a really cool card? This one fits the bill. It's a real WOW card, but it's not for beginners. I found a video tutorial on YouTube by Crystal Best that I followed. The pieces inside the cap were fiddly, but I messed with it until I was satisfied. I made three cards and it took me a full day. You can watch and then decide if you want to attempt it.     CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO TUTORIAL   All her measurements and a link to her How to Make a Tassel video are in the notes section below the video. I think the results were worth the effort. What do you think? All current products that were used are linked below the photos, but a couple of the stamp sets were so old that there wasn't an image to put in the product list, so I have included a pic that I took. Red embroidery floss and a 2 X 3 piece of cardboard were used to make the tassels.  Thanks for stopping by MissQsCraftingContinuum, Live Long &...

Hi Crafting Friend, I needed a graduation card, but didn't have a graduation stamp set. It was time to get creative!

The Color Throwdown Challenge required the use of red, navy and gold with any neutrals necessary. Blueberry Bushel isn't quite Navy, but it was close enough for me.  The card base is Real Red cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored on the long side at 4 1/4" then folded and burnished to lay flat.  The Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP* is 3 X 5 1/2" and adhered to the center of the card front.  The insert (not shown) is Basic White cut to 4 X 5 1/4" with a 3/4 X 5 1/4" strip of the Blueberry Bushel Gingham  adhered on one side, but the strip isn't necessary if you don't want it. The graduation cap is cut from Basic Black with the middle sized, square Stylish Shapes die. I marked the center on the reverse side...
