Hello Kitty Graduate

Surprisingly, we had only one graduation party to attend this summer. It's a good thing, because I was lost for any fresh new ideas for grad cards! So instead, I added a twist to the flip up graduation cap card I made last year by cutting it a bit smaller and putting onto Hello Kitty's head. The card opens like a traditional card with a sentiment on the inside, but flipping the top of the mortarboard cap on the front of the card reveals the graduate's gift...
Hello Kitty's head comes from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge, her paws are ovals from the George cartridge, and I used a rolled up newspaper cut from the Pooh and Friends cart for her diploma. Graduation cap is from the Wrap it Up cartridge, welded at the top edge in Design Studio. I cut another cap in the same size, trimmed off the square part of it, then attached the remaining bottom piece with foam tape to the inside of the grad cap card to create the pocket.
Tassel was made using DMC embroidery floss and attached to grad cap with a brad. Added a gold ribbon to tie up the diploma and some Robin's Nest dewdrops and it was finished.
