Graduation card


 To make this graduation card get some white and black ribbon. If you don't have these (In my case I didn't have black ribbon) Use paper instead, and attach using rubber cement or double sided tape(If not this glue or the tape get a glue that will not wrinkle your cardstock) 1/2 in. from the edge.

 For the lettering on front I used buttons and a thin pointed sharpie to write "Congratulation" and always make sure you have your words spelled right.

The sharpie bled through the paper which I didn't expect which led me to the fancy liner. If you do not wish to have to make a liner I suggest you use a colored pencil.

 For the Liner I used the black colored cardstock that I cut a 1 in. ribbon out of for the front of the card, trimmed the top and bottom 1/2 in. in, and the left edge with scissors that leave a design. I aligned the right edge with the paper to the white cardstock.

Then I used a piece of white printer paper 5 1/2 x 6  and used rubber cement to glue it 1/2 in. from the right side. With the leftover trim I used rubber cement (Or you could use double sided tape) to attach it on the white printer paper on the right side and bottom. With the empty space to the left on the black cardstock I painted a diploma. I wrote inside the card "Wishing you the best of luck in the future" The ______ Family. 

If you are going to use rubber cement, use it in a ventilated area, you don't want to be breathing in the fumes that it has, and also remember to close it so that you don't knock it over opened. It can create quite a mess to clean up (Speaking from experience)
