Howdy, everyone! We’re sitting at T minus 1 on middle school. And I just can’t even believe it. Time really does fly!
Speaking of that, I know a lot of parents of graduates who are feeling the same way right now. This week our designs are an ode to this year’s graduating seniors. And today we’re pulling together the school colors of another local high school to create this tassel card using the Diamond Fun Fold tutorial.
We get started with a base of Basic Black cardstock and then use Crushed Curry for our front and side panels. The diamond panel is a small square of black cardstock with a small hole in the center. The tassel is created from gold twine and a goldenrod Brad in the center. I pulled some older Papertrey Ink stamp sets — Wise Owl and Paper Clippings Congratulations — to provide the owl (the school mascot), stars, and the sentiment. We finish things off with a little sparkle from a few foam shimmer stars for the star centers.
The tassel is probably the most time consuming part of this design. And that took just a few minutes. You could easily make several of these in one sitting and even change up the colors to match a different school. Easy peasy!
