Graduation Easel Hat Card

This hat is so much fun to make for your favorite Grad!  It's a great card, but even better gift card or cash holder.

Solid Color Cardstock (for my sample it's Night of Navy):

• 5-1/2” x 11
• 3-7/8” x 3-7/8”
• 2-1/2” x 5-1/4”
• 1-3/4” x 4-3/4”

• ¾” Circle

White:

• 2-1/4” x 5”
• 1-1/2” x 4-1/2”
• 5-1/4” x 5-1/4” (mark at 2-5/8”)

Solid Color ink

Sentiment Stamp Set (sample features the Stampin' Up! Seriously the Best stamp set

Rhinestones, Sequins, or punched pieces (optional)

Snail Adhesive and Multi-purpose Liquid Glue

 

Cutting and scoring guide:

1. Fold a piece of 5-1/2" x 11" cardstock in half, burnish to get a crisp fold line.
2. With a pencil, lightly mark each side at 2-3/4".
3. Score one end of the card at 2-3/4" (red line).
4. Score the center of the card with an "X" shape from the 2-3/4" marks to the 2-3/4" scoreline, making sure that the middle of the "X" is in the exact middle of the card. 
5. Cut the corners off the bottom of the card from the 2-3/4" scoreline to the 2-3/4" mark on the bottom of the card (blue lines).
6. Fold scorelines shown in red on the diagram in a valley fold away from you.
7. Fold the scoreline shown in green on the diagram in a mountain fold towards you.  You should now have a five-sided shape with a square on top.
8. Glue one half of the 3-7/8" square to the triangular piece (within the blue lines) matching the corners.  
9. Glue the 3-5/8" square piece to the center of the 3-7/8" square with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
10. Glue a 2-1/4" x 5" piece of white cardstock to a 2-1/2" x 5-1/4" piece of solid color cardstock.  Then glue the strip to the bottom inside of the card base. If you want your card to be a card or cash holder, put a strong adhesive around the four sides of the cardstock strip, leaving approximately 3"-3-1/2" without adhesive in the middle at the top. You are creating a pocket.
11. Stamp a 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" piece of white cardstock with large sentiment and glue to the center of a 1-3/4" x 4-3/4" piece of solid color cardstock. Mount this strip to the center bottom inside of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.  You want this piece popped up.
12. If desired, decorate around the sentiment with stars, hearts, confetti, sequins, or rhinestones.  
13. Make a tassel using cording by wrapping the cord around three fingers a minimum of 12 times. Holding the loops together, pull the cording away from your fingers and add glue about 1/2" from the top.  Wrap the cording around the top a few times the opposite way and create a 2" loop at the top; trim. Cut the bottom loops to create the tassel fringe. Put a drop of glue in the center of the 3-5/8" square of your hat. Glue down the 2" loop in the center of the mortarboard and the tassel at the wrap line to the edge of the card.
14. Mark a 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of white cardstock at 2-5/8" on three sides.  Cut at an angle from the left and right marks to the bottom center mark.  Glue this piece to the back of the card for your personal note and signature.
