Break Out the Balloons for the Class of 2024 Graduation Card: Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video!
In today’s video I’m creating a Graduation Card with the Simon Says Stamp Grad Balloons stamp set. Begin by heat embossing the Congrats Grad sentiment in Antique Gold embossing powder on Simon’s Mega Thick cardstock. Set it aside and work on stamping the graduation caps next. I used 7 for my card and I feel this is the optimal number – 4 in the top row (on the “congrats”) and 3 in the bottom row (on the “grad”).
Next, use Copic makers to color. I went with Y17, Y15 for the tassel, and B99, B97, and B45 for the cap. There are coordinating dies available for this image, so use yours to cut both the “Congrats Grad” and the graduation caps out.
To create a background panel cut a sheet of Soft Navy cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5”, foam mount “Congrats Grad” in the center using regular thickness foam adhesive squares. Fill the background in by stamping the confetti image using watermark ink for a tone-on-tone look. Next, add your graduation caps. I opted to add another thin foam adhesive square to each cap to have it slanted on the card – partly adhered to the background and partly onto the sentiment. Alternate the orientation of the hats making it look as if they are tossed in the air.
Embellish your card front using gold sequins and don’t forget to add a white cardstock panel to the inside of the card with a stamped additional sentiment.
Have fun stamping!

More June 2024 Card Kit Inspiration with Kristina Werner
Hello, all! Kristina here! Today I have a fun card created with the Sweet Birthday stamps set included in the June 2024 Card Kit. I colored all of the sweet treats to create a happy scene!
I used Copic Markers for all the coloring, and then added more color by masking off the top of the card to ink blend and stamp additional colors on the bottom of the card.
To finish off the card, I added Stickles glitter glue to the treats and smeared it across for a light application, plus some Glossy Accents on the cherry on the far right cupcake.
You can pick up the June 2024 Card Kit HERE, or subscribe to receive this kit and future kits HERE.
Enjoy the video!
