Graduation and Teacher Appreciation

Hi Friends! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. With Easter now over, I have turned my mind to Graduation and Teacher Appreciation week.

Below is a simple 3-D card I created without having to bust out any machines! The cap actually opens up into a card. So cute! I've also fit in 5, yes 5! sneak peek's of a new stamp set that Jillian has created which will be released on Friday. As usual, I had loads of fun using this stamp set.

Inside of card:

Im not done just yet, I've also got a super adorable Teacher Appreciation Gift for you to check out.

I promise that even though this stamp is adorable, there are lots more on this stamp set that you will just go ga-ga over!!!

Graduation Tassle Video Tutorial

Hi Everyone! A little while back, I participated in a Graduation Blog Hop.  If you missed that you can click HERE to see what I created.  Since then, I have had some requests for a tutorial on how to create that cute homemade tassle!  I whipped up a video tutorial that I hope helps some you!

I forgot to mention in my video that I cut each piece of twine 10 inches long.
