Finally, this weekend saw the making of the graduation thank-you cards! I had in my mind what I wanted to do, but mass production is so different from making one or two cards. So I stayed really simple.
On white cardstock, I used the "thank you" sentiment from SU! Wishes Your Way. The nice thing I learned is that when using the MISTI with this stamp set, I get a much more consistent image. If I use acrylic blocks, I tend to have "wiggle issues." Then, I used this Silhouette file made available for free from Cathy Zielske to make the cap. That was no small adventure. I think I need to change my blade, because it did a cruddy job of cutting the tassel. You cannot see this, but I also added some Wink of Stella pen to the tassel.
And that's it! Now, they are in the boy's hands for the heartfelt sentiment part of the process. We have a goal of getting them in the mail this week.
