Have you tried a "Tent Topper" card yet?
Of course, I had to do mine a little different. I like the look of a rounded top on a card and by modifying the traditional "Tent Topper" style I created my version. Here's the side view:
The plain black cardstock oval (cut with my beloved and no longer made Coluzzle) is glued to the back of the black striped paper. Then the joined pieces were attached to the front of the card base. The smaller oval "Typewriter Alphabet" paper (from The Paper Studio) is glued to the front and ties the layers together. The mortarboard hat is a diecut from my SVG set GRADUATION SET TWO. I lifted the hat off the card with pop dots. Black Soot Distress Stickles were added around just the bottom portion of the Typewriter Alphabet paper as this made a nice border. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of scrap white cardstock and hand cut the "vee". I added ribbons, cut to different lengths and "veed", above and below the sentiment strip.
TIP:
After graduation season, look for big discounts on the specialty 2012 ribbon. I got this set super CHEAP because it was from 2008. Guess what? I used that "2008" ribbon on the card above....I just turned it over!
