I made these for some of my students for graduation. They are post-it note holders that they can use when they go to college (these particular students are headed there, yea!). The cover from the larger one is cut at 3 1/4" x 4" and the smaller is 2 1/4" x 2 1/2". I used medium weight chipboard that I got from JoAnn's. I inked around the edges and covered them with paper I got from Tuesday Morning. It's the 7 Gypsies Paddington collection. I really like it and may have to get another stack. It worked well for these projects as black is one of our school colors.
I used the Flower Shoppe and Quarter Note Cricut cartridges for these projects. They are bound with a Bind-it-all with 1/2" black wire. I did have to loosen the wire a little to make the larger one close properly. The ribbon is from Walmart and the bling is from Creative Charms.
It will be a bittersweet day tomorrow as the seniors leave school for the last time. There will be hooting and hollering and more than a few tears as another class moves on to begin their adult lives.
I am going to enter these into the Fantabulous Cricut challenge even though they don't have a graduation cap on them.
BEAUTIFUL Graduation card!Thanks for joined us at FCCB this week!:)
ReplyDeleteVery elegant -- how sweet of you to think of your students, especially at a time of year when you're probably swamped! Thanks for joining us at FCCB this week.
