More Graduation Cards

We had another fun weekend of graduation openhouses.  Graduation cards are one of my favorite to design!

I really like the feeling of motion in this card.  The contemporary style of the Bright Blossoms stamps seemed to fit this sentiment so well.  This uses all the new in-color inks and the lovely Comfort Cafe DSP.

  

Midnight Muse is such a rich color of blue and is fast becoming my new go-to color.  I used it for the sentiment in the above card and in this second card it is the main focus.

Graduation Card Variations

We have so many openhouses to attend this year!  It is delightful to see so many of the kids we have known since they were babies graduating.   I made two cards for the ones we attending this weekend.

Both use a base layer with a verse printed using My Digital Studio which I stamped on to make the variations.

The daisy outline stamp on the girl version is from the Reason to Smile set.

And the ship and compass on the guy version is from the Open Sea set.

The My Digital Studio layout is one that I made last year and saved so I was easily able add a duplicate page, changed the color of the text and put a border stamp at the bottom.  (The border stamp, called Torn Edges is one of my favorites and comes with My Digital Studio.)  This is what the page looked like when I printed it.

I have tips for aligning the text on the page in this post from last year.  You can see the first version of the card there as well.
