Classic Mouse Graduation Card π
Celebrating a graduation is a momentous occasion, and what better way to honor a graduate than with a classic, cheerful card? Today, Iβm sharing a project featuring the Classic Mouse Graduation Collection, perfect for marking this special milestone with a touch of nostalgia and style.
To set a clean and bright tone for this card, I used Cascade Cardstock for the base. The light blue provides a beautiful, airy backdrop for the main elements.
The Frame: I die-cut white cardstock using the Nested Tree Frame Dies to create a delicate, bubbly border that draws the eye toward the center.
The Character: For that iconic face, I used the Steamboat Willie Duo Etched Dies from the Say Cheese Classic Mouse collection. The graduation gown, sneakers, arms, and legs were all created using the Classic Mouse Graduation Dies, featuring a sophisticated Merlot and Saffron color palette.
The Sentiments & Accents: For the finishing touches, I used the Classic Mouse Graduation Sentiments Press Plate & Die set. I die-cut the flying mortarboards from Gold Metal Cardstock to add a metallic shine. For the “Congrats Grad!” sentiment, I used white hot foiling on Raven Cardstock before die-cutting it to make the text pop against the dark background.
Adding those shimmering gold accents really ties the whole celebratory theme together!
Happy Crafting, Heejung
