Simon Says Stamp | 2024 Graduation Cards. Video

Hello, crafters. Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! It is time to work on the Graduation cards this year! Do you have anyone graduating? My part-time assistant from work is graduating from high school this year, so I made this card for her. I used a fabulous Grad Balloons stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. It is such a fun and cute set – I love the balloon style Congrats Grad sentiment, so cute!

CARD DETAILS

To re-create this card, begin by heat embossing the Congrats Grad sentiment in Antique Gold embossing powder on Simon’s Mega Thick cardstock. Set it aside and work on stamping the graduation caps next. I used 7 for my card and I feel this is the optimal number – 4 in the top row (on the “congrats”) and 3 in the bottom row (on the “grad”).

Next, use Copic markers to color. I went with Y17, Y15 for the tassel, and B99, B97, and B45 for the cap. There are coordinating dies available for this image, so use yours to cut both the “Congrats Grad” and the graduation caps out.

To create a background panel cut a sheet of Soft Navy cardstock to 3 Âľ x 5”, foam mount “Congrats Grad” in the center using regular thickness foam adhesive squares. Fill the background in by stamping the confetti image using watermark ink for a tone-on-tone look. Next, add your graduation caps. I opted to add another thin foam adhesive square to each cap to have it slanted on the card – partly adhered to the background and partly onto the sentiment. Alternate the orientation of the hats making it look as if they are tossed in the air.

Embellish your card front using gold sequins and don’t forget to add a white cardstock panel to the inside of the card with a stamped additional sentiment.
