I had a lot of fun creating all of the brightly colored word strips for this fun design. I'm planning on using this as a graduation card for one of the girl graduates in the neighborhood. As I was editing my photos, I realized how cute the black circle would have looked with one of the graduation cap images from the For The Graduate hung at a jaunty angle! I think I will make the addition before I send it out! 

 I really like how all of these sentiments work so well together to create this colorful graduation design! To begin, I cut all of the different colored strips and then used my Mini MISTI to make sure that the "follow your dreams" sentiment was in the same place on each of the stamped strips. I didn't add the sentiment to the light green, yellow, and orange strips since they are covered up with the circle.  I heat embossed the "they know the way" in white onto a black strip to set it apart from the other strips.

I also heat embossed the "go and do amazing things" sentiment in white onto a circle that has been die cut using the new Card Front Element Builders II SugarCuts. The black card base has also been die cut using it as well.

 Each of the sentiment strips is popped up using mini foam squares and placed on the card with equal spacing. The black square is also popped up with foam squares to give it even more dimension. 

 My second set of cards uses the new "For The Graduate" stamp set and coordinating "For The Graduate" SugarCuts. I really like how professional these card turned out with the gold embossed details. I used the school colors to make the cards more personal and fitting for the two graduates. 

This really is such an amazing set and I really love how it has so many details and sentiments; I really can't see myself needing another graduation set! To begin, I stamped and die cut the graduation caps and diploma rolls. I also die cut the smaller gold details using some gold specialty paper to give the card some extra depth and detail.

As you can see, I used the Card Front Element Builders II to create this design. The "happy graduation" sentiment fits perfectly on the banner piece that is included in this die cut set. I used my Mini MISTI to do all of the stamping for the "class of 2019" portion to make sure I got it all lined up properly. 

There is also a coordinating "Congrats" stand-alone word die that goes with this set. I didn't use it on today's cards, but it will definitely come in handy in the future.

Well, that's all for today! I hope you've enjoyed the Sweet Peek Week! Don't forget to go shopping at 6 PM ET to make sure you get everything on your list! Thanks for fluttering by!
