Hello friends! I can’t believe my son is graduation from high school this year. Anyone else have a high school or college graduate this year? Since we know quite a few graduates, I knew I would need extra graduation cards. I found the Grad Day paper collection from Photo Play Paper and knew it would be perfect. I kept my cards fairly simple and flat so I won’t need to pay additional postage to mail them.
I made a total of 16 cards.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Photo Play’s Grad Day paper collection.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
Great set of cards. Wish this was released a little earlier. LOL I don’t have time to make them for tomorrow’s graduation ceremony. 😀 Congratulations to your son! I wish him all the success in the world. 🙂
Thank you! I should have thought of doing this video a bit sooner. Kids don’t graduate here in western Washington until June though.
These cards are great! These would have been perfect for my college & grad school since our colors were black and gold. Congratulations to your son! He must be pretty excited to be finished with HS and onto his next adventure. My niece just graduated from college last week! Can’t believe it–it went fast. TFS!
Thank you! I can’t believe I have a child that is graduating from high school already. Surely I’m not old enough. Lol!
No, you are not. 🙂
