Jessica’s Graduation Pull ‘n Slide Surprise Card

Jessica created a personalized graduation card with a fun Pull ‘n Slide Surprise interactive element! She also included a Money Pocket on the inside for giving a gift.

This graduate must be a real “star”! Jessica combined the cap and glasses from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On with a gold sparkle Outside In Stitched Star! She inked the background and the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise panels with Distress Oxide ink. Then she splattered Black Licorice Re-inker on the yellow, and metallic white paint on the blue.

Under the slider, Jess paired the cute Little Woodland Library Friends hedgehog and pun. I love the Fruit Salad gingham grass! And at the top of the slider, she stamped congrats from Simply Celebrate Graduation. And there’s also an instruction for the recipient from Push Here stamped on the tab.

Jess used a panel of acetate on the folded panel to attach the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs letters so they seem to float above the grad cap!

On the inside, Jess added a Money Pocket, cut from Textured Dot cardstock from the Gemstone pack. The gold glitter button ties in with sparkly star and letters.

This is such a fun and creative graduation card! Thank you so much for the inspiration, Jessica!

This Outside In Stitched Star shaker window is so fun and adds a special detail to Mindy’s simple design!

Latisha stenciled her card with Graduation Caps Background Stencils before adding Giant You Did It! She layered the giant greeting on a pink pastel pearlescent vellum circle with a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Graduation.

Perfect for an elementary school graduation, Megan‘s card features a cute chalkboard! She used the Shadow Box Card to make the frame for the chalkboard, cutting it from Woodgrain cardstock. Then she added an apple from Build-A-Barrel: Apple and white embossed messages from Simply Celebrate Graduation.

Melissa‘s card is so eye-catching! With a glittery gold background, she layered on a Candy Cane Lane oval shape. It’s the perfect colorful backdrop for the black Giant You Did It and the graduation cap!

Elena‘s graduation card is a fun shaker design with Simply Celebrate Graduation! The background from Candy Cane Lane petite paper adds fun color and gold foil stripes. Elena used Ta-Da! Diorama! Scalloped Window Add-On to create the shaker window.

The reward for finishing a course of study is a summer filled with sunshine and fun! Yainea‘s card features Giant You Did It with Pool Party! She added a Fly High sentiment on a Fancy Wavy Banner and a strip of Vertical Rainbow Stripes Washi adds lots of happy color!

Audrey used Graduation Caps Background Stencils to create an overall design on her card. Then she added an Outside In Stitched Apple with the cap from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On! And then she layered Scripty Congrats in Green Sparkle cardstock on a white Scripty Congrats Outline Add-On.

Tammy‘s graduation card is so elegant, even with the cute mice of Simply Celebrate Graduation! She created a full card shaker filled with star shaker bits. And the Giant You Did It in glittery gold looks so good with the black, red and white mortarboard and diploma from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On.

Grace created a glitter filled shaker card to congratulate the graduate! And the colors and collage elements are so fun and perfect for a celebration! She stared with a Stitched Rectangle panel of Rainbow Ever After petite paper that she cut using Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window.

Then Grace created a collage using Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On, Party Balloons and congrats from Simply Celebrate Graduation. She used the thin guides from Pull ‘n Slide Surprise to cut a rainbow of cardstock strips to layer Louie’s ABCs letters on! So bright and fun!

Two Adorable Graduation Cards with Mayra

Save the Date! We have a special Inspiration Week coming your way next week! We will highlight all the new Spring themed goodies from our April Release, with a fun themed format! And as always, we will have awesome Design Team inspiration, videos with Chari and Mindy, and daily giveaways! Join us for the Big Giveaway and the start of this fun week on Sunday, May 11! We can’t wait!

Mayra created a pair of the cutest graduation cards! She used new April Release graduation sets to make two very memorable cards, one of them an interactive Pull ‘n Slide Surprise!

I love the colors and the whimsical style of these amazing graduation cards!

For this interactive card, Mayra used Pull ‘n Slide Surprise and Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On. Her color palette comes from the striped Rainbow Ever After paper. She used Woodland Critter Huggers, Spring Critter Huggers, Snowy Backdrop and lots of colorful cardstock.

Mayra combined Slide On Over Circles with an Outside In Stitched Circle to make the mouse ears. The mouse is so cute with the pink mortarboard and diploma! For the star “balloons” she used Outside In Stitched Star Stackables and Stitched Star Frames with more stars from Shadow Box Card Theater Add-On.

When you pull the slider, there’s an encouraging message from Lucky Stars with the adorable mice of Simply Celebrate Graduation! And finally, Mayra white embossed a Wavy Sayings sentiment on a Simple Wavy Banner.

And for the second card, Mayra started by stenciling Large Stitched Rounded Rectangle using Graduation Caps Background Stencils in the same pretty pastel palette. She inked Giant Hooray to match, then layered it with gold sparkle cardstock and more Rainbow Ever After paper. The cute mice show up again, this time with balloons from Yappy Birthday!

Your cards are so amazing, Mayra! Thank you so much for sharing your adorable inspiration with us!
