Grads & Dads: Grad Hat Fun Fold Card

I received an awesome Grad Hat swap card from Pam Hoffman recently and I adapted it for my Technique Tuesday class earlier this month.

You can learn how-to make this fun grad hat card yourself AND how-to make your own tassle!

This is one of the prettiest Graduation card I have ever seen!

Great GRAD card - I used your dimensions and adapted it to the Simply Scored Diagonal Tool - SO EASY! Thanks for the inspiration!

[Stephania Eckstrom]

How in the world did you come up with this idea? The design is brilliant. It's perfect for a graduation gift. Can I attach this to a card I'm planning to make for my uncle's graduation?

[Cindy Major]

Awww, Dawn!!!! That is such an awesome idea! LOVE how you used the fold! TFS!

Mahalo for the awesome tutorial! I was able to make a couple of these in no time. My favorite part was making the tassel from the grosgrain ribbon. Thanks again!!

OOps, Above that is 9-3/4" from 11".

I soooo love this card; I have made several. It makes into a money pocket EZ; instead of cutting off the the 1-1/4" piece (9-1/4 from 11"), score it and use it as a "money pocket"; stamp the congrats on white and add to this flap. Adjust the grads "feet" stamp a bit, but it's nice to have a pocket to stick money in.

Love the card, I've already made the base, however; I'm having a hard time with the top insert of the cap. What is the measurement of the 2 pieces of card stock?

Thanks,
Chrissy

Hi Dawn..love this little card and would like to make it. I tried to load the video on u-tube but I have dial up. Took an hour to get just part of it. Could you give me the scoring measurment? If not I do understand. You went through all the trouble of making a video so you wouldn't have to hand type everything.
You are so talented. You sure found your gift..plus you are so giving of your talent!
Thanks and have a great day!
