Welcome to the last stop on the ScrapbookSteals May blog hop! I am so happy to be asked by such an amazing company to help promote a steal. ScrapbookSteals has been my go-to-place for products, inspiration, and all things paper-craft related for the last three years!
Melodee asked us our color preferences, and I asked for navy or yellow. You can only imagine how happy I was when I got a roll of blue AND yellow twine - in one - from Two Berry Creative! I originally thought about doing a nautical theme, as these two colors are so nautical (and nautical is "in"). But, life got busy! So, I decided to make a cute graduation card for my brother in law. His college school colors are blue and yellow, so it was perfect!
I used my SIlhouette to cut out this graduation hat and the phrase. Then I used my Xyron X to cover some cardstock with adhesive (one piece for the hat and one for the sentiment). I laid the twine on it, running it back and forth to completely cover the strips of cardstock. To add a little dimension, I had removed the big portion of the tassel from the Silhouette image of the hat, and I made my own little tassel out of more twine. It turns out the foam pop dots I had were the perfect thickness to pop the white cardstock and fit the twine behind.
To continue in the National Scrapbook Day Celebration, play along with the challenges from ScrapbookSteals.com. Here is thefourth challenge:
