I recently shared a high school graduation card I made for my niece using the Pinkfresh Studio Adore Alpha dies. This die set has been a hard one to get ahold of but I wanted to share one more card project using the same set as I have more graduations coming and more customization in mind.
I have a relative and a neighbor who will both be attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison (remember when my daughter went there for a semester?), and I wanted to create grad cards in the UW-Madison colors, red and white.
This is really easy to do with paper strips and sticky label paper. I cut a bunch of 1/4 inch strips, glued them down, and used that to cut my panels. Just like that, custom patterned paper for any project! Here is the video showing you how I created this project:
If the alphas have sold out again, please consider clicking on the Notify Me option. You will be notified, but of course, it’s a first come, first sold basis. This set will be re-stocked!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

So great! Now to see if I can adapt any of the supplies I have on hand to make something liek this. I can’t even tell you how much joy it brings me that you’re making cards. Thanks for sharing, Cathy! xo
Cathy Zielske says

This is wonderful! I knew as soon as I saw the card it would be for UW-Madison. I’m grew up in Wisconsin and went to UW-Milwaukee. 🙂
Cathy Zielske says
Great school!
Britiney says
HA! I thought of the University of Washington and was confused by the colors until I watched the video.
Teresa Doyle says
Cathy, these are really great cards and I am sure the grads will love them!
My great niece is graduating HS this year and I made hers in school colours as well. (I made it in her HS colours as I am not sure what Uni. she is attending) and made the front panel to mimic their graduation gowns, with a ‘cash pocket’ on the inside. I am very pleased with the outcome.
Congrats to YOUR grads!
Cathy Zielske says
Oh! I love the idea of doing a cash pocket on the inside!
Karen S says
Thanks for sharing such great inspiration! I used your idea but made it all with my Silhouette!
Suzanne says
Love this! Adapted what I have to make something very similar. As for the $$ you insert, what are folks giving these days? Very good friends vs. all the other grad parties to which they are invited. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
