Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Fun Family Occasion. We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Family Fun! So much family fun this year. We have a college graduation, several high school graduations, a wedding and so much more! I cannot wait to spend time with our family! This Friday we head to Madison, WI to witness our nephew Evan graduate from UW Madison with honors! Can’t wait!
I always customize my graduation cards! …because a store-bought card is not an option for me! I love to personalize them and with the array of colors Stampin’ Up! offers, I always seem to have exactly what I need!
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock. Score at 4 1/4.
Adhere a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Basic White Cardstock to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used a Cricut to cut the “W” (Wisconsin Badgers) in Real Red Cardstock with a Basic Black Cardstock drop-shadow. I adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop the letters using the Mini Alphabet and Alphabet a la Mode dies in Basic White and Basic Black Cardstock. Adhere them together as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere the small die-cut letters as shown with snipped-to-size Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the large die-cut letters as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team.
Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on June 12, when our theme will be New In Color Inspiration.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

With the upcoming changes to Stampin’ Rewards (10% Rewards Earned on $20+ Orders) going into effect on April 15th at 2 PM MT, I wanted to let you know about an important update to my customer rewards. Starting today (April 12), I will no longer be offering Free Monthly Hoot Loot with $50+ orders.
This decision didn’t come easily. With a significant drop in business, I’ve had to reassess what’s sustainable for me moving forward. While I’ve loved being able to offer this extra thank-you each month, it’s no longer feasible for me to continue this particular program.
That said, I’m happy to share that my Hoot Point Rewards Program is here to stay! You’ll continue to earn one Hoot Point for every $50 you spend—and once you collect 10 points, you’ll receive a $50 shopping spree on me!
Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to me!

What a cool card, Stesha! Your shadowing adds so much dimension!
What a beautiful card!!! My grandson is attending UW Madison and I’ll definitely be casing this awesome card for his graduation! Thank you for sharing the card and a FREE tutorial ❤️
Such a great personalized card to celebrate your nephew’s graduation!
Fantastic Grad card Stesha! Funny, my son graduated from Wooster High (many moons ago). The colors were the same. This could easily work for Wooster Grads as well. Thank you for sharing.
woohoo to your nephew! Fabulous card idea Stesha ❤️
Dynamite card, Stesha! The shadow behind the letters is so striking! Hooray for family occasions – celebrate the good stuff!
What a fantastic graduation card, Stesha! It certainly celebrates the occasion and will be appreciated! I love the big W as the background. Thank you for joining the hop this month!
