You’ve come so far & accomplished so much
Congratulations
These are perfect sentiments for graduation cards, right?! You can find them in the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set.
For today’s post, I have some very easy-to-make and stunning cards to share. I have two versions to share, but I could’ve easily used any of these great patterns in the Full of Live Designer Paper pack and made even more. These papers are bright and cheerful and definitely mirror the joy of such an milestone event.
For a complete list of products that I used to make my cards, scroll down so see my visual list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here are the details on the first card – the blue/purple card.
Measurements for the blue/purple card…
- Basic White Cardstock
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4”
- Full of Life Designer Paper
- 4” x 5-1/4”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 3/4” x 4-5/8”
Directions for the blue/purple card…
- Adhere the designer paper layer to the front of the folded white card base.
- Stamp the inside (not shown) “Congratulations” image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
- Stamp the front sentiment with VersaMark ink off to the right on the Basic Black strip. Add white embossing powder, tap off excess, and heat with the Heat Tool until the embossing powder melts and becomes a bright white and glossy. Do not overheat, or the white will start to dull.
- Add the sentiment strip to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
- Embellish with Iridescent Faceted Gems. (On this card I added 3 large and 2 small.)
And here are details on the second one with the squares.

We’ve been invited to quite a few grad parties this year since we have a graduating senior ourselves. (Nick’s graduation is June 3rd and his party is June 9th.) AND our other son Luke who is a junior has a few friends who are seniors, too. I think I’ll be making more of these cards this weekend. I really love how cheerful they are and how quickly they came together.
