New cards

I liked the Crazy 4 Challenges card sketch so much, and my friend liked it too so she ordered a 2nd card. I didn't think I had enough paper to do another exactly the same, so I made some changes.

I also have a co-worker who is graduating from college in May so I decided I'd make her a card, too. This is a sketch design that I'm sure other people have come up with, but I like to think "I" designed this card. LOL! Maybe - maybe not. I have no idea. I see so many cards and card ideas out there that it's really impossible to decide if I thought of it or not. I know the card I made my nephew last year was similar to this and I thought at the time that I'd "created" it, too.

I cut the mortar board from the Wild Card cartridge at 1.25 inches and trimmed off the extra piece that would have made it a card. I made the tassel from red and black thread that I wrapped around a nail file and then tied it and cut the other end. It's attached with an iRock stone. Then, I highlighted the brim with gold glitter pen.  I actually think it's quite nice. The inside will say "congratulations".
