Fun Fold Friday- Cap & Gown Diploma Card

 

Graduation season is here! There is nothing more that Seniors want right now is for school to be over and to get their diploma! My daughters graduation is next week and I'm excited to give her this card!

The idea of this Fun Fold was to make the card it self look like a diploma by having a "tunnel" created with the paper and a paper ribbon. 

I heat embossed the gown and used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach to the corner of the card. 

If this card is made right (see video), you can fold it down and send in an envelope. Give this Fun Fold a try and order the supplies from my online store!

Steps

1. Measure, score, and cut your paper. 
2. Stamp in Memento Black onto the right corner of the cardbase the text and the diploma. Color the ribbon on the diploma with Stampin' Blends. 
3. Heat emboss the gown onto the Basic White using Versamark, Black Embossing Powder, and the Heat Tool. Fussy cut the gown out and attach to the bottom left side of the cardbase. 
4. Use a bone folder to crease each score line. Use Tear Tape or Stampin' Seal+ to create the tunnel/diploma. Watch video to learn how to attach so it can be folded down and fit into an envelope (give yourself 1/16th of an inch from the 4 1/4" score line).
5. Make a banner end on one side of Poppy Parade and put Tear Tape on the back. 
6. Measure the half way point (and mark with a pencil). Attach the Poppy Parade by wrapping around the tunnel and pinching the paper at the angles to create natural bends.
