So let's see what the Design Team have been making... 

We're thrilled to welcome a new Design Team member with us today - please give a warm welcome to Paula! We look forward to showing you all her wonderful makes every week with the team!

Paula - I used this Cute Boy Graduation digi stamp to make a graduation card using graduation sentiments and words of encouragement as a background. The graduate is colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. He flips to the right to allow the recipient to see all the heartfelt sentiments. The card then opens as a traditional side-fold card allowing the addition of a gift card or cash and a personal message.
Products used:

I used Ohuhu markers - colour used: CG2, E58,R2,R8,R18,R20, R22, WG3,Y2,Y42,YR312

Hope you like it! See you next time - I’d love to follow you on Socials, here’s mine if you’d like to give me a follow too!


Zel - This mini slimline card features an adorable layered design using Graduation Themed collection.
For my card base , I prepared 3.5 by 6 inches white cardstock. For the layers I adhered Lined paper from the Graduation school paper bundle measure 2x3 inches , the toga and diploma paper from the same set and blue cardstock measure 3 and 1/4 by 5.5 inches for the last layer. For my Focal point I used cute boy 2 wearing spectacle glasses and for the ephemera I used Graduation school student ephemera.

Wendy - Hello everyone - I hope that you have had a great crafty month. It's time for some more inspiration for the current blog challenge and this week were thinking about graduations - When I left school many years back (1985 to be precise!) graduation in the UK definitely wasn't a thing....just graduations from University, how times have changed. It's very popular now though - even little ones have graduations from nursery ! So I don't really make or send many of these cards but its always good to have some in my stash just in case...so I decided to create a card using the Graduation School Student collection...such a versatile set for loads of different celebrations. Its a super cute little boy with his graduation gown and cap and I created an arched doorway from dies and went with a gold, black and silver theme for my card today using papers from the collection and a congratulations banner from the clipart bundle, coloured with promarkers and fussy cutting out before assembling the card. To finish off the card I added confetti around the design and added some glossy accents to the boys glasses and white gel pen highlights. Have a fantastic week....love and crafty hugs Wendy x

Jane - https://janesav101.blogspot.com/ Hi everyone! The graduation season will soon be upon us and how nice it would be to send a card of congratulations for a job well done. This card was so simple to put together as I did it entirely in Word. Gathering all my chosen pre-coloured elements from the Graduation School Student Big Kahuna Bundle I arranged them onto a piece of the patterned paper and added a shadow behind each to give the illusion of depth. I also made sure that I had enough of the paper on either side of my composition so that, once printed, I had plenty of room to roll the edges to look like a degree scrolls, popping a bow on each for the finishing touch.

Ana - This week’s Digi Choosday DT prompt is all about graduation, as usual, I had a hard time picking between two cute digis so I made not one but two cards! I used Cute Girl in Graduation Gown and Cute Boy Graduation, and honestly, they were just too cute not to feature together.Both images are adorable and perfectly capture that proud, celebratory graduation moment. I colored them up with alcohol markers, then paired them with bright, cheerful backgrounds using layered stencil rays colored with Distress Oxide and a touch of gold embossing for sparkle.We hope you’ll join us on this week’s Digi Choosday! We’d love to see what you create!

Eve - Hi there! For today's card I decided to make a stepper card which I cut out on my scan and cut machine. The cute boy image is also cut out with my scan and cut along with the bunting and hat/scroll elements. The boy is mounted onto a Spellbinders die and the background paper is from the Graduation school student bundle which was then mounted onto some gold foiled card. As always, I hope you like my card and have a great week. Eve x Items used:

Maz – Whether it’s a graduation or just leaving school, there’s nothing nicer than something handmade to celebrate! I created this project by using everything from the Graduation Big Kahuna Bundle. A collection full of characters in both B&W and pre-coloured, clipart, ephemera, sentiments and much more. I used pre-coloured Cute Boy Grey Gown on top of a scroll background from the Clipart Bundle. I dressed up my project by adding elements from the Ephemera bundle.
You can find everything in the Big Kahuna Bundle here:

Judy - I used this Cute Boy with Spectacles Glasses digi from the Graduation School Student Collection for the focal on my inspiration card for this week. He was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut before popping onto the card background made up of patterned papers, word art, ephemera and sentiments.
