Graduation Tilda Card

Good evening and thank you for stopping by. As I mentioned earlier that I was going to make my niece's graduation card. After hours and hours of struggling with ideas and sewing (my sewing machine hates me tonight), I finally came up with something. Phew.....!

For some reasons, my sewing maching didn't work very well, I guess it decided to take a long rest soon. Oh well, I have a little "Barbie" sewing machine for back up if my real sewing machine didn't work. To make a long story short, I finished it.


Beside the Tilda with slate stamp, I've also used two packages of Jolee's embellishment. One was the Diploma itself (you can see it inside the card) and the other graduation package comes with hat, diplomas, gown, etc .

The original Tilda stamp was holding a textbook, but I've cut her hand along the line and tucked the diploma to cover the textbook just to fit this graduation theme better. In addition, I put the hat on her although it's a little bigger, but I've tried to custom make her one which turned out not as good, so to make things easier, I just use the premade one from Jolee's.



I've also used the labe slider alphas from Spare Parts to make the word "Congrat" on the card front. These alphas are movable within the ribbon.


Because this card is going to sign by my whole family, I need extra space for us to sign, so I've included a large foldable blank piece for signature.

Since I completed this card, I think I can have a better sleep tonight. I will be working on my nephew's birthday card tomorrow. Another day, another challenge!

Good Night and thank you again for dropping by.
