Thank you so much for watching! Now let’s check out more Design Team inspiration!


Mindy combined cute mice from You Autumn Know and Whoosh Kites with sentiments from Simply Celebrate Graduation and You Goat This to create a super cute card! And the mortarboard and diploma from Woodland Critter Huggers Graduation Add-On are so charming added to the star!


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!

A High-Flying Graduation Card by Nancy

Nancy joins us today to share a card she made for her niece’s high school graduation. She used a Plane and Simple airplane colored in the school colors!

Nancy added details with Valentine Borders and Stitched Borders along the bottom. I love the text stamping behind the Plane and Simple images!
