Gold Star Graduation Card With Front Flap Gift Card Holder

Hello My Stampin' Friends,

It's Graduation Season and I have loads of inspiration for you

over in my Project Gallery.  


Be sure to visit my Website Frequently so you stay up to date on my projects.

I share load of great projects there - as well as on my Pinterest Boards and my Facebook Page & Group.  You can follow those through the links at the bottom of this post.


Here is my most recent Graduation project share:


I created my Graduation Cap by cutting a pair of layering Squares, with my paper trimmer, using an embossing folder to emboss the top layer, then adhering them together.  The Tassel was cut with the Birthday Celebrations Die and added to the cap with a punched circle and glue dots.
So Easy!!!  You can use any fun embossing folder.  I kept mine simple as the star pattern was so busy.  If you use a simpler pattern, or a plain card front, you can have fun and really dress up the Cap.  Just as the Graduates tend to do!


This card contains a Gift Card/Cash Pocket.
You can actually create the pocket or not.
The choice is yours.

All you need to do is create a traditional card, score the front flap toward the right edge - going as far in as you wish your pocket to be - fold the new flap in, then add tear tape to the top and bottom edges and seal closed. Now, you have a pocket!  Easy peasy!

The right edge of the inside flap will be seen when the card is closed so, be sure to dress it up.  You can add coordinating DSP to the pocket as well, as I show here in my card, if you wish.  If you are not using it as a pocket, seal it completely and you can leave it blank so as not to draw attention to it. 

I have provided a complete project supply list, 
for this card, below.  
It includes links to each currently available item in my Online Store.
Note that I have used some stamps and paper from my stash so I have shared an alternate stamp set that will be a perfect replacement for the ones I've used.
