Dawns Stamping Tips for Graduation Hat
1. Use a Wide Oval punch out in Basic Black
2. Draw a line down the middle from side to side and top to bottom

LOVE THIS DAWN….TFS I dont have many grad parties this yr, but will have fun just the same/
Dawn this card is just ADORABLE!! I think it will be one that I CASE for sure!
Off to let Kay know how CUTE he is!!
Dawn, this card is so cute, and the owl is adorable. Have one question though: why couldn’t you just use a punched square and position it on the diagonal for the hat? Seems that would be easier but haven’t tried it so might not look right. Just curious! Thanks.
