Another Graduation Card How-To

Hope you've had a great week, so far. I thought I'd share some of the other Graduation Cards I made using the Spring Card. If you'd like to make the Spring Card, I posted a TUTORIAL on Monday's post and I've included a little "How-To" below for the detailing of the cards shown here.

These make great graduation caps and you can personalize them by using the graduate's school colors.I used the stampset Take a Spin...I love all the special occasion choices and the little spinner hands! Have fun trying these out for yourself.
