Hi! Ashley here!

Today I’m sharing a curved pop-up card. You can find these cards in Lori’s Shop and Silhouette Store.

First, cut all the pieces.

You can use print and cut for the sentiment panel.

Adhere the panel pieces and the flower pieces.

The sentiment panel goes on the back of the card.

Adhere the flower pot to the smaller card piece. Adhere that piece to the card.

Adhere the rectangular piece to the front of the card.

There are several curved pop-up cards in Lori’s shop.

Graduation Tassel Tutorial

April 27, 2023April 12, 2023

It’s graduation season and you may need a tassel for one of Lori’s many great graduation cards. The card that I’m making a tassel for is Lori’s 5×7 Gate Fold Graduation Card (SVG, Silhouette). Here is how I make them. I start with a yellow-gold color. Of course, you can choose your own color that will coordinate with your graduate’s school colors.

I then cut TWO 6-inch pieces. These pieces will be used to attach the tassel to the card and to assure that the tassel stays together. Set those aside.

Next, I start to wrap the thread through my fingers so that I can hold the end piece securely. This is also when I decide the appropriate length of my tassel for my project. For this project, the tassel is about 4 inches long. make sure to add about half an inch as you will trim the ends to even them up.

Then I wrap the thread around my fingers until I feel like I have enough thread to make a good tassel for my project. For this card, I did about 15 wraps.

Then I tie one of those 6-inch pieces at the top, doubling the thread so that I have 2 3-inch pieces after knotting the the thread. This will be the piece that gets threaded through the card’s hat top.

Then I will add the second 6-inch thread to wrap the threads together. I will tie this in a secure knot. If I feel like the thread isn’t feeling too secure I will put a small dot of super glue on the knot to help secure it.

Then I will cut the bottom thread pieces as well as the tied and knotted threads to evenly trim them up.

To help thread the tassel through the cap, I use some of my favorite liquid glue and add a small dot of glue to the ends and then twist the threads together. Set this aside to dry for a few minutes to make a “needle”.

When the glue is dry, go ahead and thread it through the hole in the cap, knotting the thread on the underside of the cap. I will usually knot it a couple of times to make a big enough knot so that it doesn’t slip through the hole.
