2 Easy Graduation Card Ideas

I had not used the amazing Pattern of Friendship die or the Around it All dies, so, on these 2 easy graduation cards I combined both of those Stampin’ UP! dies with the Around it All stamp set and With you in Mind stamp set.

Four rectangular sheets with gradient backgrounds from Stampin UP Full of Life paper pack in pink, blue, gray, and coral display a dotted line pattern. A white box in the center reads: “Stampin’ Up! Pattern of Friendship background die #165384 PattyStamps.com/shop.” Patty Bennett logo is at the bottom left. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Using a few patterns and colors from the Full of Life 6×6 paper stack, I embossed the background with the Pattern of Friendship die that covers almost the full 6×6. Those pieces became the background for my cards and dictated the ink pad colors I used for the stamps.

A hand holds a handmade card featuring a blue and white "congrats" circle from Stampin' Up! Around it All bundle, a small graduation cap, and blue stripes with "Best Wishes Wishes Wishes" in the background. Two more similar cards and a stamp are on a textured, gridded workspace.
