I needed a card for a friend's son who is graduating from High School next week. I only have a few graduation stamps and was trying to think of a good design when I remembered a free digital graduation cap pattern I found from The Toymaker and I made this!
You can print it in black like below - or in white and add your own school colors.

I printed the digital cap on white cardstock, cut it out and quickly assembled it. The top measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4". The bottom of the box is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" graduating in a bit to the top.
The cap opens so you can put a gift inside. I rolled up some cash and tied it with a piece of wrinkled seam tape.
All the stamps I used are from two retired Waltzingmouse sets, Free Spirit Boy and Free Spirit Sentiments.
I added the tassel using a large brad through the top of the cap. There is a paper tassel with the digi image pattern.
I'm linking my graduation card to:
Graduation
The Influence of a Good Teacher can never be erased.
(a student can't graduate without having had good teachers!)
Paper: White, Summer Sunrise - PTI
Ink: True Black - PTI
Accessories: Free digital pattern images - The Toymaker, tassel, large brad, oval punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, Word Window Punch - SU, Tombow Glue
