I know that Graduation is still a few months away but I actually have a graduation party to attend this weekend. So when I was on Holly's website and saw the graduation cap she made with the the Petal Cone I knew I had to recreate it.Here is my version of the graduation cap. I used Basic Black Card Stock. I used a silver brad to hold the tassel. I know it looks black but that is because I rubbed Black Stazon Ink on it to make it black. Great improvise! I had these tassels laying around because someone gave them to me. I didn't know what I was going to do with them but now I know. This is perfect because my sister Alison is graduation from High School this year.
I will admit that I had a had time figuring out how to cut the petal cone to add the top of the hat but after I finally thought it through, it was easy. I have a couple more projects to share with you this week that use the Petal Cone so I'll be back.

What a great idea. You did a terrific job on this. Unique and clever.
This is such a great idea! What a great keepsake!
Would you share how you added the top of the cap to the petal cone die? I've yet to completely figure it out, but then I do tend to make things a lot harder than they should be! I would appreciate it as this is a wonderful idea with graduation coming up. Thanks, Julie
I've been looking for some card design ideas for my niece's graduation this Friday (rush, rush, rush) and I chanced on your beautiful graduation card. Will you be willing to share how you attached the top of the hat with the cut petal cone? I have a Silhouette machine and I can make the template in the Studio software but I'm pretty sure you came up with a lot easier and easier way of attaching the 2 pieces together. Does this fold into a flat card? I have some neat stuff that I can share with you if you're interested. TIA! Gayle (http://ligayatg.blogspot.com/)
