Okay...I have to admit I was a little intimidated when I first got the Cricut Wild Card cartridge. Pulling out the overlay and flipping through the book, I thought "Oh my!!". After having a chance to try some of the cards, I must say: "I'm in love"!! The cartridge has so many possibilities and can transform cards into papercraft masterpieces! Okay enough about the cartridge, I have an upcoming graduation in May and thought this rainy March day would provide a good opportunity for some card making. I used the Wild Card cartridge graduation cap card. I cut the card and shadow at 7 inches. I cut the numbers out of white cardstock at 2 inches. I used black cardstock for the cap and maroon cardstock for the shadow, as my graduate's school colors are maroon and white. I used maroon and white embroidery floss for the tassel and a small piece of gold ribbon from Martha Stewart to hold it all together. I then inserted a tiny, yellow star brad from Colorbok into the center of the cap. I cut the "For the Graduate" phrase from the Wild Card cartridge, at 7 inches, using white cardstock. I then used crystal Stickles to make the letters and numbers a little glitzy. The inside of the card includes a "Congrats" message cut at 7 inches using a phrase from another card on the Wild Card cartridge. Now on to make an envelope.....they are just as beautiful and creative as the cards.....have I mentioned I like this cartridge?!?!! Have a great week......I've got one more until Spring Break! Yippee! Patty :)
