Congrats Graduates!

It's that time of year.. school is winding down and it's time to celebrate the achievements of our academics! I had two graduations to celebrate this year! I really enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm of the graduates and their parents - so joyful that their goals have been achieved! 

I used a rainbow of solid Twinery Twine to create a background for my die cut graduate border. I cut a panel of card stock slightly smaller than my card base and wrapped twine around it before attaching it to the card base. I did 6 rows of each color. I love the bright bold color - it makes a beautiful background.

I die cut the congrats word die on the edge of the border and left it in place. I put a piece of tape over the reverse so none of the letters or their centers would fall out. Because the twine background is thicker than paper I added adhesive foam tape to the die cut border before attaching it along the bottom of the card base.

I added a glue dot behind the graduates to keep them stuck in place.

The bright bold colors capture the vibrancy and energy of a celebration! The twine makes a fun quick background and the color combinations are limited only by your imagination - wouldn't using your school colors be amazing? Congrats Graduates!
