Class of 2017 CAS Graduation Card

(Inside: May you celebrate your graduation remembering special memories from your past and exciting dreams for your future.  Happy Graduation.)

This clean and simple graduation card features a greeting from the “Curly Cute” set (retired?) by Stampin’ Up that was stamped with versafine onyx black ink.  The “Class of 2017” was a digital image I found online (although I am no longer seeing it there).  I found the same image on etsy (for 2018) HERE by createsvg4you.  The sentiment inside was by Northwoods Rubber Stamps.

The white panel on the front was embossed with a Sizzix/Stampin’ Up “Stripes” embossing folder.

You may recognize the elements on this card from one I recently posted:

My kids had gone through a whole bunch of cards for their friends, and we still needed more!  (I guess with three of them, there is a larger need than usual!!)  I still had the supplies out for this photo card, so I whipped up a few of these CAS cards for them to give.

This next card is similar to the cards above, so I decided to add it to this post instead of a new one:

This is the last 2017 graduation-related card I have to share.  It features the same robot that I’ve used on a few other cards that I made for my sons’ robotics club advisor who did an amazing job running the club at their school.  It just so happens that he was also a parent of one of the kids on their team, and he and his wife drove my guys (and their team) to most of the competitions for the 4 years they competed in the club.  Now that they graduated, I made the robot graduating too!

The robot was a Silhouette file that I adapted for each of the cards on which he appeared.  The cap and gown were from an svg kit called “Graduation Elements” from svgcuts.  The thank you stamp is another stamp from the “Curly Cute” set from Stampin’ Up.

Gina K Red Velvet, white and black card stock were used along with Recollections silver.

Foiled Graduation Cards

(Inside:  Sincere Congratulations and Best Wishes on your Graduation Day.  May the future hold success and happiness for you.  Happy Graduation)

As I mentioned yesterday, my kids needed quite a few graduation cards for their friends this past spring/summer, and I made several, simple designs that were easy to duplicate.  I had never done foiling before, so I thought I’d give that a try.

Here is a sample made with silver foil.

Etsy , with its huge supply of digital papers and images, is a great source for elements to print and foil (if you have access to a laser printer).  You can find a huge variety of designs in a range of prices, and once you own the files, you can print as many as you like, as often as you like.

I created the background panels from a file from the “Graduation Digital Paper Pack” by DeerCustomDesigns.  I imported the image into Printshop and added the blank text box in the center so I could stamp my greeting.  Once the panel was designed, I printed multiple copies with my laser printer (foil transfers to toner but not ink), trimmed them to size, and foiled the panels with either Gina K Red Velvet Fancy Foils or Therm O Web Silver Deco Foil and my mini Heidi Swapp MINC foiling machine.  (A laminator can also be used.)

The greeting on the front is by Rubber Stamped.  The inside sentiment is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps.  I used Gina K Red Velvet, black and white card stock.  The foiled panel is on laser printer paper from Staples.

The frame on the first sample was created with my We R Memory Keepers Frame Punch Board.

This background is from the “Black and White Digital Paper Pack” by LittlePandaDreams also purchased on Etsy.  This could be used for a number of occasions.

Glittery Graduation Card

(Inside: May you celebrate your graduation remembering special memories from your past and exciting dreams for your future.  Happy Graduation.)

My kids had quite a few graduation parties to attend this past spring/summer so I came up with a few designs that were easy to duplicate.  Most of the graduates were from their high school where the colors are red and white so I went with those colors for most of the cards I created.

This first design (of several) was made with glitter card stock along with fabric graduation cap stickers.

In addition to graduates from their school, there were a few graduates from different schools, with different colors, so I used different glitter card stock for theirs.  (It’s hard to see the shine on the  black and white sample.)  This design was very easy to customize!

The red and black glitter card stock was by Recollections, and the blue was by DCWV.  The stickers were called “Black Graduation Caps” (#SPJBLG229) from Jolee’s Boutique.  I used a score board to emboss diagonal lines to frame my greeting which was by Rubber Stamped.  The stars were cut with 2 different star punches (#03-026386 and #03-026382) that were designed to cut thick materials by Fiskars.   The frame was created with my We R Memory Keepers Frame Punch Board.  The inside sentiment was a stamp by Northwoods Rubber Stamps.
