Hi, everyone! It’s Graduation season, and there is no better way to celebrate your grad’s accomplishments than with a handmade High Fives Grad Card! Teri here to show you how to make a card to do just that!
Make the Card Base and Foil Panel
Start by creating a card base. You’ll also want to make a frame to fit on it by taking a panel of cardstock and cutting a rectangle shape out of it. Set both aside.
Cut a smaller rectangle from cardstock. It doesn’t matter what color cardstock you use. We’re going to cover it up completely! Randomly apply a few strips of Premium Double-Sided Tape onto it. Burnish foil onto the tape strips.
Now, apply more strips of tape and apply more foil with another color of Metallic Transfer Foil. Do this one more time with more tape and one more color of foil. (Creative tip! You can make give your foil a distressed look by crinkling it up and flattening it out before adhering it!)
Assemble the Card
Take your card and set the frame on it. Adhere the rectangle onto the card. Cut strips of Crafty Foam Tape to adhere your frame onto the card. If your strips are too wide, just trim them in half with your scissors. Mount the frame onto your card.
Stamp, cut and adhere a few graduation caps or diplomas. Adhere them to your card with 3D Foam Squares. Stamp a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Mount it across your card.
Complete your card by adding a few sequins and 3D Foam Stars. Embellish the stars with glitter, flock or foil.
I hope you are inspired by today’s High Fives Grad Card tutorial to make a few graduation cards of your own!
