Graduation Cards for My Friend - Lori Whitlock Soar and Fly

Hey there,

Even though I don't have graduating seniors in my family this year, I was privileged to help my dear friend who couldn't go shopping for cards for her grand nieces and nephews due to the quarantine.   It's hard to know how to do service for loved ones during this time of social distancing so I jumped at the chance to create three cards for her to send.  I was a little worried about coming up with something unique and fun that would suit both young men and women.  Lori Whitlock and my Cricut came to my rescue yet again!


I was excited to find this adorable svg in Lori Whitlock's shop.  I've made several pop-up box cards, so cutting and assembling were a cinch.  As I customized the sentiments in Cricut Design Space using the writing feature I imagined how amazing it would be to add further personalization with names, schools, etc.  I didn't know the school colors so I went with a generic red, white and blue palette, which I think works well here.


I like the way these cards turned out and was happy to see my friend's smile when I presented them to her with stamped envelopes, ready to address and send.  She used the word "charming" to describe them. I loved making her happy and now I have this fun file in Cricut Design Space just waiting to be customized for future grads.

Thanks for visiting,
Go forth and use your crafty skills to do service for someone you love.
Nancy

    So great that you could help like this, Nancy. I love your cards. The 3D element makes them be able to also be a decor item for a bit. Great job!

    I just love this card including the scrolls on the clouds and how the one floats above the banner. Since both my husband and son fly, I will using this idea for a card. Thanks for joining the BBTB2 challenge.
