Calls for a celebration

You don’t need a PHD, Ph.D or doctorate to now realize that Monday belongs to the “By Royal Appointment Guest Blog“ post. This is something we will be doing every Monday and each week we will be welcoming a different designer from our amazing team, the Royal Stampers.  This week we have the wonderful Lola from stempelritterin, Germany hosting the Guest blog. So grab yourself a cuppa, sit back and enjoy another wonderful project.

There are many reasons for a celebration, not just birthdays or anniversaries. I love to gratulate on achievements as well. It doesn’t have to be a PhD, it can also be just the kindergarten graduation. Although I have to admit that I have no idea what one has to do to graduate from kindergarten, a Lego tower higher than 40 cm? No need for a nap anymore? If the latter should be the important exam, I wish, I’d never left 

But I digress. I wanted to show my latest gratulation card

The hat is a simple square of 9 cm by 9 cm. I pierced a little hole in the middle and put a bit of bakers’ twine through this. The tassel is quickly done with a little bit of black card stock, just cut in the fringes with you snips. I used Teat & Tape as adhesive for the tassel as it is really clean and easy to apply.

Two effects make this card more special: I embossed the sentiment directly on the cardstock. I love the shimmer, one can read it well, but it does not overpower the hat. I wanted the hat to really “hover” on the card, so I did not only use Dimensionals, but I doubled them to enhance the effect.

What a wonderful idea to celebrate graduation. Hats off to Lola for her fantastic project. Don’t forget to check out more of her projects here
