ToniStamps: Graduation Card 2023

It's Graduation season, right? This is the only card I've made this year, and it's going in the mail tomorrow. I think the school colors are Navy and a yellow-gold, so I went with Night of Navy and the NEW In Color - Wild Wheat. I like them together!!

I took the "congrats" from Seriously the Best and stamped it in Night of Navy and Wild Wheat. I started at the bottom and did this free-hand - no stamparatus involved! Stamped full strength twice, then stamped off once - in each color.

I stamped the graduate on a separate piece, and colored him in with various markers. Some alcohol, one regular (wild Wheat). Hand-cut him, and popped up with lots of dimensionals. Add a few Night of Navy enamel dots.

I also like to put a Mini Envelope inside the card, so I can tuck in whatever they're getting - cash, check, or gift cards. I do this same thing for wedding and birthday cards.

Paper Measurements:

Night of Navy: 6" x 8", scored and folded in half at 4"
Wild Wheat: 3 3/4" x 5 3/4"
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5 3/4", for inside of the card
Basic White: 3 9/16" x 5 9/16"
Wild Wheat/Basic White: scraps to make strip across mini envelope
Basic White: scrap to stamp and cut out graduate.

I also made an envelope for this, since it was a 4" x 6" card. I used the left over bit of the Wild Wheat piece of cardstock, and did some trimming and folding. No real measurements. Added a strip of Night of Navy at the top for the closure. I will glue this shut.
