Stamp Set: Beautiful Balloons, Bird’s Eye View
Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Basic White
Ink: Blueberry Bushel, Stampin’ Blends
Other: Paper Trimmer, Pencil, Bone Folder,
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
1. The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel
cut at 4-1/4” x 9-3/4” and scored at 5-1/2”. Use the Bone Folder to burnish the
5-1/2” score line.
2. Place the folded edge onto the Paper Trimmer
at 2-1/8” and create a tic mark with a pencil at the top and bottom. Turn it over and do the same on the other
side.
3. Now, place the card base into the Paper
Trimmer and line up the tic marks, and score with the scoring blade on the
Paper Trimmer from the top left to the bottom right and vice-versa to create an
“X” and burnish with the Bone Folder.
Push the side panels in and the diamond-shaped panel down to create the
mortarboard card front.
4. Cut the Basic White cardstock at 4” x
5-1/4”. Mark a 2” tic mark at the
top. Turn the Basic White cardstock and
measure a 2” tic mark on each side from the top. Cut from the 2” tic mark to the 2” tick mark
on each side to create a point. This will be your insert for the card.
5. Ink up the sentiment “I think it’s time for
a Celebration” with Blueberry Bushel ink at the very bottom of the Basic White
bottom insert.
6. Two inches from the bottom of the insert, ink
up the books, the bird, and the glasses from Bird’s Eye View with Tuxedo Black
Memento ink. Color in with the Blends.
7. For the top insert, cut Basic White
cardstock at 2-3/4” x 2-3/4”. With the
square turned to a diamond shape, try to eyeball where to make cut lines with
the Paper Trimmer so you can insert money.
The lines should be about ¾” apart and about 1-1/2” long parallel to
each other. Ink up “Woo-Hoo!” with
Blueberry Bushel ink between the lines.
Attach to the top but only add adhesive to the outside edges, not the
center or you can’t put the money in.
8. For the top of the Mortarboard, add a Basic White tassel with a Blueberry Bushel Gem in the center or most of them used the tassel's I bought on Amazon using a Square Brad after punching a hole in the center.
