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!

Lawn Fawn Video {4.26.25} Jessica’s Out of This World Graduation Card with Pull ‘n Slide Surprise


Yay, we made it to Saturday! And today Jessica shares a clever Pull ‘n Slide Surprise graduation card! She shows us how to use a masking technique to add color to the interactive panels! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for watching!


Jessica’s graduation card is so brilliant! She used masking to stamp, ink blend, then color her space-themed images directly on the Pull ‘n Slide Surprise panels. Then she stamped, colored and die-cut more images from Simply Celebrate Graduation, Simply Celebrate Hangouts, Out of This World and Beam Me Up to add more fun to the card!


She used a gold sparkle Giant You Did It as her greeting, adding it to the interactive panel to be revealed as the slider is pulled!


I love how Jessica used the cheesy hangout as a nod to the moon being made of cheese!


The masked rocket, stars and planets create a one-layer scene on all the panels that look so cool! And the astronaut and more planets pop up when the slider is pulled to create even more fun.


And as a final cute detail, Jessica carried the spacey theme to the inside!

Thank you for sharing this amazing design, Jessica!

Shaker Cards for Graduates with Ivy


All of our April 2025 products are now available at lawnfawn.com and at your favorite online and local craft stores! Woohoo! And be sure to check out our special gift with qualifying purchase, Simply Celebrate Teachers!

Ivy‘s son is graduating this year, yay! So, it was the perfect time to make a bunch of colorful celebration shaker cards for him and his friends!


Ivy used our new greeting, Giant You Did It to congratulate the new graduates! These cards are so much fun combining Simply Celebrate Graduation with Congrats Grad Washi tape filling the background!


To make the shaker, Ivy cut a square panel of white cardstock then covered it with Congrats Grad Washi tape. She slipped this panel into a poly bag from stamp set packaging, filled it with sequins and taped it closed on the back.

Then she die-cut Giant You Did It and an Outside In Stitched Scalloped Square from cardstock. She layered each giant greeting with another white one to make it stand out on the busy background. And then she used the coordinating coloring stencils to color the cute border of mice from Simply Celebrate Graduation to add at the bottom. I love how she colored the caps to match the washi tape! And finally, she layered the shaker onto the scalloped square.


This card design is so much fun and easy for making multiples! It would be perfect for graduation party invitations too!

Thank you so much for this cute and creative inspiration, Ivy!
