Today I finished making two graduation cards. There are several YouTube videos showing how to create this particular fun fold, however, they would fit in a larger envelope than the standard A2 envelope. Wanting to keep it to a size A2 envelope (4.375" x 5.75"), I created these fun fold size cards. I will say, I'm proud of myself in that I didn't waste much cardstock trying to figure out the new measurements. Also, there are also several YouTube videos showing how to make a tassel. I've included several pictures showing just how easy it is to create one. You will notice that I stepped up the fun fold and turned one of the cards into a gift card!
See below for the list of products and colors used. I also included measurements and instructions with several pictures.
Products used can be purchased through my Stampin' Up! on-line store, unless otherwise stated. You can find my website information under SHOP.

Card base, Gorgeous Grape, 8 ½ x 3 ¼ , score at 2 1/8, 6 3/8
Cap, Gorgeous Grape, 3 x 3
Hinge for cap, Gorgeous Grape, 2 x 2, score in half
Inside Basic White, 4 x 3
Collar, Basic White, 2 1/8 x 2 1/8, cut diagonally
Ribbon, approximately 4 inches (need two pieces), Baker's Twine (depends upon how thick you want the tassel)
Scrap, approximately 4 x 2, Daffodil Delight for the year
Gift Card Holder, 4 1/8 x 2
Instructions:
Fold the card base at score marks, set aside.
Fold the cap hinge at score mark and adhere to card base, inside top center. TIP: Place the fold slightly above to allow the card to close easily. (Refer to picture)
Stamp the inside Basic White and adhere.
Adhere the diagonally cut Basic White to the outside flaps.
Adhere the ribbon along the diagonal Basic White. I used liquid glue since I used shear ribbon.
Now let's work on the cap. I placed a small strip of tear & tape, however, you can use liquid glue. Close the card and carefully place the cap diagonally to the front. I used the closed flap to help center the cap point.
Adhere the year to the outside.
If you are adding a gift card, go ahead and punch a half circle on the holder and adhere to the back. TIP: Use tear & tape or liquid glue to adhere since the holder. Don't make it too tight that you will struggle inserting the card and possibly tearing the card.
Now for the tassel. Refer to the pictures to help better explain. I wrapped the Baker's Twine around my finger ten times. However, it's a personal preference as to how thick you want the tassel. Slip it off your fingers holding it towards the top. Wrap the twine several times completely around and tie a knot in the back. Cut the twine in half and then adhere to the cap using mini glue dots. I used a mini glue dot to adhere to the center and then added the Rhinestone.
