Graduation Cards

Today I have two cute cards for graduation coming up next month.  Whether you know someone graduating preschool, middle school, high school or college - a handmade card sure is a nice idea.  We've got you covered with some great card ideas over the next few weeks.   Up first, here are two by Jennifer Ingle.

She's used our "congrats" stamp from PSA Just A Note here in this clean and simple style card.

She's used various Snoopy stamps from our PSA Peanuts collection here.

Adorable! 

Graduation Layout

Graduating high school is one of those times in your life you’ll remember forever.  For me who went to The University of Michigan with 6,000 people in my undergraduate class, my college diplomas (yes, I like people to know that there are two…) were mailed to me.   High school graduation was different.   It felt monumentous.   It wasn’t just because of the accomplishment of completing school, but because I graduated from my parents and was leaving my friends.   I graduated and became an adult (sort of), headed off to college later that summer, and truly survived on my own. 

This epic time in someone’s life is certainly worthy of a scrapbook page if you’re a scraper.   Here’s an idea by Kim Schofield.  She’s used our new Asian Symbols and Asian Icon stamps available only at Smithsonian Museum Stores.   This was the perfect collection for Kim’s friends daughter who majored in Chinese. 

Here are some close-ups of the stamps.

Supplies used:

·         Designer Paper – Graphic 45

·         KaiserCraft – Rhinestone Swirl

·         PSA Essentials Asian Symbols & Asian Icons available only at Smithsonian Museum Stores: & ).

·         Grad Letters – Idea-ology (Tim Holtz)

Graduation Party Decor

Our designer Angie Holden’s daughter is graduating from high school this month and Angie threw her a party that she won’t soon forget!  Angie created extra special decorations by using her PSA Essentials personalized stamp for “Class of 2012.”    From centerpieces to favor boxes, streamers and cupcake toppers, here’s a peek at some ideas that Angie had that could make your graduation party beautiful.
