GRADS!

I made a couple of graduation cards.  I used a very old Graduation Cap embossing folder for the blue and the black layers.  The Sky's the Limit is from Taylored Expressions Foil It cards.  You can see the pretty shimmer on the photo below.  The Wishing You sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, also a stamp set that I've had in my collection for many years.  The graduation cap die is from Taylored Expressions.  

 

HAPPY FOR YOU!

An oldie but goodie - This is a Papertrey Ink Enjoy the Ride stamp set & die.  I found the logo online for the college where the grad is attending.  I printed it out on my computer and then stamped the car over top of the image.  The swirly stamp is from Hero Arts.  

 

More Grads

More graduation projects in the works.  Iowa State University, University of Dayton, Xavier University & Miami of Ohio University.  I find the logos on the internet & then cut & paste & resize them in a Word document.  I print them out and then line up the logo on the hood of the car & stamp!  

Gift Card Holder for Grad!

It's that time of year for lots of graduation cards!  This is an oldie from Papertrey Ink called Enjoy the Ride.  I was able to cut & paste the Tennessee logo from the internet and run my card stock thru the printer.  I then stamped the car over top of the logo.  

I was frustrated to find a gift card that would both coordinate with my project and also one that was specific to graduation.  I was even pushing it further to want a gift card that was the right orientation for my gift holder.  I hit the jackpot when I found these gift card sleeves at Target in the dollar spot.  Don't ever walk thru Target without stopping in this area - I always find something!  ha!  

If you are interested in the directions for how I made the gift card holder, here is a previous post where I give all the measurements.  

These are packaged 3 in a pack for $1, so I bought a few extra for future projects.  I'll use up the 2019 ones of course for this year's grads!  UPDATE:  On May 23, 2019 my Target had these gift card holders marked down to 50 cents!  Of course I had to buy a few more...

Graphic Graduate

A couple of quick & simple Graduation cards.  I saw this idea on the Taylored Expressions website.  I happened to already own the Taylored Expressions Graphic Greetings Graduate stamp.  I stamped it with Onyx Versafine ink on white card stock.  I used the Amuse Studio Stitched Tag Die to cut out the wording.  I used the Taylored Expressions Lots of Stars embossing folder for another layer.  Finally I added the graduation caps - they were Jolee's Boutique stickers that I picked up from Hobby Lobby.  

Happy For You!

An oldie but a goodie - I still love using this stamp set for Graduation cards.  Enjoy the Ride by Papertrey Ink makes for a fun, personalized card.  I snagged the Iowa State logo online and ran the card stock thru my printer and then stamped the car over top of the logo.

Quick Cards

I started out wanting to use the champagne glass stickers that I bought the other day.  I hated to put them away and then never use them!  You know what I mean?  I think you could have a champagne toast for an Anniversary or a Wedding.  I found the notecards in my stash and used Amuse Studio Silver Shimmer paper to die cut the scalloped square.  I used the same layout for a few Graduation cards while I was at it! The graduation cap is from Papertrey Ink For The Graduate stamp set and I added the bravo sticker.

Grad Gift Box

I actually made something that I saw on Pinterest!  I thought this little box made into a Graduation cap was perfect for our niece's graduation cash!  

I also found this download online to line the bottom of the box.  

I rolled up the bills to put in the box and they looked like tiny diplomas.  It is a cute presentation option for a cash gift.  I think our niece will love it!

Graduation!

Happy Graduation Kerstin!  This Diploma-bella by Stamping Bella was perfect for my

God daughter's graduation from Iowa State. 

Perfect for Grads!

I found these gift cards at Target - they are perfect to tuck inside all those graduation cards! 

Diplomabella!

I made a simple graduation card using Diplomabella by Stamping Bella.  This card will be perfect for our niece that graduated from College!

You Did It!

I had fun making this graduation card with Enjoy the Ride by Papertrey Ink.  I was able to download the logo off the internet for Georgia Tech.  I love being able to personalize the card to make it more special.  I'm sorry you can't see the embossing on the black cardstock.  I used the By The Numbers Impression Plate.  I used Harvest Gold Cardstock & Harvest Gold Twill by Papertrey Ink.

Grad You Rock!

This idea came from Archiver's.  I bought these Stampendous stickers last year & just found them when I was organizing tonight.  I still had a few more graduation cards to make so this was perfect timing!
