2017 Graduation Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I was asked to make a few graduation cards. Since my time was very limited, I chose to do some simple cards for the senior guys using the school colors. Papers are Recollections and cards measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Cricut Cartridges:

Simple Everyday Cards - The red Good Luck card is cut 8.571" wide x 5.548" high.

Anna's Garden Cards & Embellishments - Sentiment is written on a 3.75" wide x 4" high white paper using a Pilot Precise V5 blue pen. This is used inside the card.

Simple Everyday Cards - The blue Best of Luck to You card is cut 8.498" wide x 5.50. That size

Thoughts and Phrases -The Little Things - Sentiment is written on a 2.927" wide x 3.25" high white paper using the same blue pen as listed above. This is used inside the card.

 

 Inside
I hand cut a piece of paper to make a little pocket for each card. The area can be used for a gift card or cash.

The two cards for the kindergarten boys are also 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock.

Cricut Cartridges:

Wrap It Up - Graduate is cut 4" wide x 3.95" high. I also used school colors for these two cards.

Cake Basics - Best Wishes is cut 3.75" wide x 1.712" high. This image is used inside. I do not have an available photo.

Just for fun, I added some pencil and star stickers that I have had for ages! Also I added some dash marks on the hat using the Gelly Roll pen.

It is time again for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts and it is my turn to choose the theme. For Challenge 157, I have chosen It's Graduation Day. I am asking that you make a graduation or school related card or project.

Gosh, where did the school year go! And where has so much time gone! I cannot believe my granddaughter is graduating this year! It seems like just a few days ago, she was starting kindergarten!

Make a Wish Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This card is made using one of the card images from Cricut Simple Everyday Cards. I needed a card for a birthday girl who loves purple. The cake and phrase Make a Wish are cute cut-outs on the card.

Cardstock is Keepsake Essentials Paper Pack. The purple paper reverses to a different shade of purple. Purple lace, pearls, and flowers finish the card. Did I add enough purple!!

Enjoy!
