I used the Stampin’ Up! Garden Gatherings stamp set bundle from the upcoming May-August 2026 Catalog to create a graduation card to share with you today. I also did a quick video showing you how to create (I used a different color scheme in the video) this on my YouTube channel right here.
I started by embossing a panel of Real Red card stock with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (restocking around April 27). I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Real Red card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I adhered a panel of patterned paper from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP (available May 5) to a panel of Basic Black card stock and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
I stamped the frame image from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set (Online Exclusive item available only in the US May 5) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut the image out with the coordinating Sweet Words & Labels Dies (Online Exclusive item available only in the US May 5). I cut a panel of Basic Black card stock with one of the Sweet Words & Labels Dies and then adhered the two die cuts together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the layered die cuts to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
I stamped the vase image from the Garden Gatherings stamp set (available May 5) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Artisan Sketched Garden DSP and then cut it out with one of the Garden Gatherings Dies (available May 5). I stamped the stems and flowers images from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Garden Green and Real Red inks on a panel of Basic White card stock. I adhered the die cuts together with Mini Glue Dots.
I stamped the sentiment from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Real Red ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut the sentiment out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the back of the flower die cuts with Mini Glue Dots and then adhered the flowers and sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added two Pearls Of Beauty gems to finish the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Gatherings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the stems and flowers images in Garden Green and Real Red inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
Since I needed a couple of graduation cards this year, I made two to coordinate with the school colors for the two young ladies that are graduating! The second card features Blueberry Bushel and Daffodil Delight instead of Real Red and Basic Black.
You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
