Graduation Is Upon Us

As summer approaches so does Graduation!  From Pre-School to Graduate School and everything thing in between.  I love receiving all of the wonderful announcements and seeing the pictures of all of the young people that I have come to know. For some, I have been receiving the announcements since their birth! For others, this is the first time. 

I have been scouring the internet looking for inspiration for creating my own version of a variety of Graduation Cards for these events. Below are a few of my examples or versions of what I found.

Do you have any graduates in your family?  We do! Our lovely daughter and youngest of our blended family, graduates High School and will be moving on to New Mexico State University in the Fall. 

I hope you enjoy.

The darling little gal (Flower Power Daisy Graduates) on these cards comes from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. Both of these cards are, Gift Card/Money holders, of course!

I am still working on creating a better tassel. I have seen a few versions on YouTube and just need to come up with something that works for me. I found the tutorial for the Graduation Hat card over at DigitalDelights on YouTube. I did change up the measurements as I wanted the card to fit in a standard A2 envelope. Final measurements are 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". The second card was made with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge page 55.  This card was cut at 5".

This is an A2 standard card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") and I used the Cricut Artiste Cartridge to cut out the star (pg. 68), banner (pg. 35), medallion under the DREAM sentiment (pg. 35) and the circle (pg. 48) on White Daisy card stock. The DREAM stamp is from the Wheel of Life Flair (D1545), the medallion, banners, Congrats and doodle around the Congrats are from the Kudos Collection that is one of three (3) stamps sets that are included with the Cricut Artiste Cartridge. The Celebrate! sentiment and Cap are stickers that I had left over from years of card making.

Here is one last card along with a tutorial.
