Graduation card...

My daughter attended a graduation in Bowling Green, OH, last weekend, so I made a card for her to give to the graduating senior.


This card was pretty quick to make with just a few die-cuts and some holographic stars. I love having the ability--with dies or with a cutting machine like the Silhouette Cameo--to quickly pull together a card. We don't always have the luxury of time!

The inside was quick and simple, too, with a mat for added color and a stamped sentiment. I like being able to put part of the sentiment on a banner I can pop up on foam tape. I think it adds a little dimension and interest to the inside.

Next year we will have two grandchildren graduating from high school. I sure hope we're able to attend a "normal" graduation celebration by then. It's always fun to see how happy and proud they are to walk across the stage to receive their diplomas.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Cheryl, that's a great graduation card. I have some of those in my "stash" to use and I really like that you personalized it with the initials of the school and the year!

Love the celebrating grads die cut. This is so adaptable to any school colors.

Patti, you really do have a die for every occasion!! ;). Though isn't it sad there will be no graduation parties this year (official ones anyway, some of our young ones are partying when they shouldn't be!)

Ooh! Love this die! Beautiful card, and so personal! I hope next year brings happy graduation days for your grads. This year was tough on the grads. Thanks for sharing!

You have been busy girl, love this die - would love to go through your die collection (LOL). Perfect that you can match it up to the school colors. I had one grand child graduate this year and was very disappointed but...learned that there are few hard knocks in life.

Lovely card, I haven't seen many graduation dies and like the silhouette effect. Take care, Michelle x
