I SHARE MY PASSION FOR STAMPS, INK & PAPER WITH A SPECIAL FLOCK OF LADIES CALLED THE "STAMPIN' STRAY DUCKLINGS". WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER, FEATHERS FLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN WE HAVE!!

Mine is a graduation card, playing with Galesburg Silver Streak colors... black, gold, silver -- including directions! When I looked at Dillon's pics from a year ago, his gown and hat were gold with a silver tassel. Thanks to Pinterest post by Stampin' Bunny, Rhonda Griffin, for the inspiration.
BASE: 4-1/4 x 8-1/2, score long side @ 2-1/8 at both ends. INSIDE/Greeting: 4" square. TOP HAT: 3" square. HAT...under top full hat to cover-up: 3" square, cut in half diagonally for a triangle... may need to trim a smidgeon on long side. HAT HOLDER: 2 x 2, then scored once in half. SHIRT: 3 x 3 square, cut diagonally, then use one triangle and cut in half again. Envelope: 9" square; with envelope punch board, start at 5-1/4 guide. Finished card approx. 4-1/2 x 6-1/2.
After scoring base, place hat holder fold just over the top in middle section of inside of card. (This shows best above on the 3rd picture down - click to enlarge.) Stamp the 4" square with your inside greeting and adhere to inside. With shirt triangles, lay on front as shown... MAKING SURE the middle points on the front, center match up. I adhered my ribbon with tear tape. I used 1" alpha dies for my numbers. To add the hat, fold 2" scored piece over your greeting layer, add adhesive, lay hat on top diagonally, with points of hat lined up with top of card (inside of base card should be completely open). I made top button on hat with an old die I had x 3 and glued together for dimension. Make tassel with paper or heavy thread and adhere.
