Graduation day is a proud moment for friends and families of a soon-to-be graduate. And if you’re someone who loves to give, we’re sure you’d love to commemorate this special day in a heartfelt, creative way! Well, we have just what you need to celebrate your graduate’s achievements in style: a personalized DIY graduation card! This blog is to guide you through the steps to create a stunning card that will leave a lasting impression. So, gather your materials, let your creativity shine, and let’s get started!

Before we dive in, here are the materials you’ll need:

 

1. First and foremost, launch the Cricut Design Space on your device. Select a basic shape and resize it to 8.5″x5.5″, while keeping the operation ‘base cut’. This will be the foundation of your card. Make sure to choose the vibrant color red to make it pop!

2. Now, let’s add a touch of elegance. Select a line and adjust its size to 5.5″. Align this line with the rectangle you just created using the handy align tool, and then center align both together, while using the operation ‘score’.

3. Now, choose another basic shape, this time in white, and choose the operation ‘basic cut’. Size it to 4″x5.25″.

4. Time to add heartfelt words! Utilize the text tool to write “Congratulations Class of 2023” or any other words of your choice on your card. Then, select the operation ‘pen’ and choose any color you like for the text. Trust it to beautifully display your sentiment!

5. Let’s add a touch of flair to the design. Browse through the images folder and select a picture that resonates with the graduation theme. Choose the pen operation again and select a color that complements your overall design.

6. Once you’ve aligned the text and image on the white card, it’s time to bring everything together. Select all the elements and attach them. By doing this, you ensure that the Cricut machine recognizes the order of operations, first writing on the white card and then cutting the desired shape.

7. Now, let’s give your card a celebratory touch! Select a star shape and a graduation hat shape from the images folder. Place them strategically on your canvas, adding that final touch of brilliance.



8. With everything set up on your design canvas, choose “make it.” Follow the prompts in the Cricut Design Space, and let the magic happen. The machine will take care of cutting all the materials according to your design, leaving you with perfectly crafted elements.

9. Assembling the card is the most exciting part! Glue everything down, ensuring a secure and polished look.

And voila! Your DIY graduation card is now complete, ready to impress your graduate and anyone lucky enough to receive it. The combination of heartfelt words, eye-catching designs, and personal touch will make this card truly memorable. Happy crafting!
