Graduation cards

Hello Ai Fans !!
I have been busy making lots of graduation cards and when I got the This is Huge set # UM4288 , I could not wait to ink it up . I am going to do something different ,I am going to show you three cards made with the same set  , I am making cards you can mass produce and some  with more layers to it.
EASY ..
One flat layer no fussy cutting . this card has a blue edge to give the illusion of layers  , colored with Copic markers on Kraft cardstock

Medium …
with this card I stamped the elephant on gray card stock shaded him and then fussy cut him out and popped up on foam tape , I made layers and embossed on this card , I stamped my sentiment and used a punch to cut out and popped it up
more labor intense .. 
on this card I added a popped up hat with a hand made tassel , the layers are all inked with TH frayed burlap , the top layer is stamped then embossed , I wrapped twine and tied a bow , inside I stamped Say it  out loud   Grad set # 4225 inside and colored

this stamp is so versatile , Trena made a really cute card yesterday with it and today I have made three , I can also see you cutting off the hat and add a bow to make a girl baby card or something . This is a must get set.
Thx for stopping by , come back tomorrow for our Show your Bow challenge.
