Tuna Can Graduation Hat!

I remembered seeing a graduation card that I knew I would want to make someday.  It looked like a graduation cap - and was all captured inside a can.  Well ... do you think I could find where I stored those precious instructions that I knew I would need someday - not!!!  So here is my interpretation based on my memory of what the card looked like.  Sorry I can't give credit to whomever created the card - this creation is all from my memory!!

Look at all the tools you need to make this card - but when you see the result it is well worth it!  The hardest part was getting the can not to smell like tuna.  After a lot of measuring, sticky tape, and finding yellow stickers - the card was complete!  

The card folds into the can and reads hats off to the grad when pulled out.  It attached to the bottom and top of the card by ribbon placed in-between the sentiment circles.

The completed card looks like a graduation cap!  Oh soo cute!

I love roses - all the different kinds, colors and the better they smell the more I like them.  My all time favorite is the double delight, and was my inspiration  for this card.  They have subtle colors in pink, yellow and white - and smell "delight"ful!   In the summer you can always find roses in the center of my dining room table! 

I used the Manhattan flower set from SU for these cards.  I stamped the image on glossy cardstock and embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I colored them using ink direct from the stamp pad on a dauber, and them cut them out!  Great fun, and in person these cards are really beautiful, all they need is the familiar rose scent!  I am sending one to my MIL for mothers day, enjoy Mom!
