Congratulations Graduate

Posted on May 27, 2025 by Genevieve Valdes

Summer is kicking off and graduation season is here! I was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge to create this graduation card. This card was super easy and can be modified with different colors. I used blue since this is for my niece graduation from Rice University with a Masters in Biomedical Engineering. Our family is so proud of her. I made this card to send with a gift.

I used Blueberry Bushel, Basic White and Silver Foil paper to create this card. The graduation hat I made along with the diploma and the sentiment is from the Translucent Florals stamp set and the die is from the Mixed Labels die set. I made the graduation cap using the instructions by Crystal Best. I rolled a small strip of copy paper and tied with retired Starry Sky ribbon for the diploma. I’ll be making another card for another niece graduating from Texas A&M. She is a Certified Texas Teacher and is applying to school districts and will also be be actively working on her Master’s of Education in Curriculum from A&M. We’re also happy and proud of her as well. This time I will be using the colors of Maroon and White for her card.

I invite you to join the challenge at Hand Stamped Stamped Sentiments.
