Printable Graduation Cards
I just love this season...it's filled with sweet endings, new beginnings, and the hope of the future. As cheesy as that all sounds, it's truly what I feel. Graduation is such a special right of passage...from kindergarten all the way up through grad school...it's worthy of a celebration.
Designs for Printable Graduation Cards
- Both designs have bright, vivid colors on top of light, watercolor plaid.
- Both designs are full of fun typography.
- Both cards feature a classic mortar board as the center of the design.
- The pink/orange card reads: "The Best is et to Come. Congratulations, Grad!"
- The blue/aqua card reads: "On to the Next Chapter"
Printing and Using Your Cards
- Be sure to only print greeting cards onto letter-sized white cardstock paper. Regular paper is way too thin for greeting cards (the corners will curl up on you).
- You can purchase a pack of letter-sized white cardstock here on Amazon. It's my go to for where I purchase my own cardstock. I've found they have the best prices.
- After you've printed your graduation card, you'll cut around the outside of the small hairline surrounding the perimeter of the card. You can use regular scissors or a simple paper cutter for this (Personally, I always use this Fiskars Paper Cutter and love how easy it is).
- Once your card is completely cut out, fold it in half. I always take the handle of my scissors and run it along the crease of the card to remove any wrinkles.
- Don't forget to write your own sentiments inside the card. Your graduate is sure to love your message!
- Envelope information is listed below.
Envelope Information for Your Cards
- I create all of my greeting cards here on Print Pretty Cards to fit inside a standard, A6 envelope. A6 envelopes measure 4 3/4" x 6 1/2". After cutting out and folding your card, they'll slip inside this envelopes easily.
- Today's printable graduation cards look great in all kinds of colors, but brown kraft paper envelopes (pictured above) and white envelopes are the most budget-friendly and look great, too.
