Graduation cards celebrate the hard work of the graduate to meet all the requirements. My helper, Kiev, made this card for her brother who graduates from High School this week. His school colors are blue and red. Change the card colors to the school colors of your graduate.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your Night of Navy card base at 4-1/4″ x 11″ Score and fold at 5-1/2″.
2. Cut your Whisper White Pop-Up card center at 4″ x 10-1/2″. Score and fold at 5-1/4″.
3. Choose the Hip Hip Hooray Party Pop-Up Thinlit, line up the arrows with the fold line on your Whisper White and run through your Big Shot. Watch this Video for more detailed instructions. Attach to your card inside.
4. Cut your Night of Navy card front at 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
5. Stamp Congrats in VersaMark ink on your card front. Sprinkle with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder. Remove excess. Melt embossing powder with Heat Tool. Watch this Video if you need help with heat embossing. Repeat with the Happy Graduation. Attach your card front to your card base, making sure the inside is facing up and the card front is facing up. (After several times of putting the card front on so the inside was upside down, I ALWAYS check now so I don’t have to remake the card!)
6. Punch out your confetti shapes with the Sprinkles Punch. You can also use the leftover confetti shapes from the Hip Hip Hooray. Glue to your card front with either Tombow Glue or Fine Tip Glue.
7. Write your congratulations message inside your card and give to the Happy Graduate.
Enjoy making Graduation cards!
