Congratulations Graduate!

Hello Crafters and welcome to my little blog.
I'm back to share my make for Dies R Us  today.
Here's  a golden "Congratulations" card for a graduate. 

Congrats CARD STEPS
First, create yourself a card base in the shape of your Star Card Panel die. 
Then- Die-Cut 2 extra panels (these will be used to cover the front and back of your card).
Save some of the smaller die-cut stars from these panel cuts. You will use these as embellishing accents later.

Die-Cut your Congrats word 4 times (2 in plain heavy Cardstock and 2 in Mirror Gold Cardstock).
Also cut 4 stars as shown, then adhere all cuts together and layered as shown on finsihed card.

 optional step
Die-cut 2 extra panels to cover the back side of your card (this gives your card more strength making it sturdy - and a clean finished look. I cut one in plain cardstock then another in Gold for look,
