Graduation Card with Year
Do you know someone who is graduating from college or high school? Make them a graduation card using your Cricut.
The great part about this card is it only takes two pieces of card stock and you can make it in their school colors. This is a simple card, even a beginner crafter can make for their graduate.

Graduation is a fun time for celebrations and giving cards. And homemade cards are great to receive. Please note, I have updated the SVG file for 2024.

Instructions
Cutting Out the Graduation Card With Year
- Unzip the download file.

- The prepare screen will appear
- Now if everything looks correct on it, click on the continue button
The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the red Cardstock I used is medium weight, you will need to select "Medium Weight"..
Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
Assembling the Graduation Card With Year
- Starting with the card piece
- fold the card in half on the score line
- then take the top layer
- put glue on the back
- place it at the top of the front of the card piece
