Bold Graphic GRAD card


I just love bold graphics - whether on cards, home decor or fashion. My sweetie and I went to Philadelphia last year as part of our vacation (if you ever go you HAVE to see The Magic Gardens at 1020 South Street. Oh my goodness!!! http://www.phillymagicgardens.org/) We saw the iconic LOVE graphic art at the fountains downtown, and I saw a little girl wearing a T-shirt with the graphic on GMA the other day, and it hit me that I could make a few cool graduation cards pretty quickly with this graphic. Hope you can use it. It fits perfectly on the front of a 5x5" square card, and I have already posted directions for making an envelope to fit this size card, as well as a recipe for homemade envelope glue.

The svg can be downloaded for free here.

  4. Thank you so much for this file. I am going through a big and bold, black and white phase and this card looks perfect.
    I am hopefully going to need a lot of graduation files next year when my daughter (also called Laura)and her friends graduate.

  5. Haha - Carolyn, you should see my living room right now! I am in the process of redecorating it, and big and bold, black and white describes it to a 'T'. We bought a WHITE couch at Ikea - with a washable slipcover on it, so bring on the grandchildren! I am recovering two easy chairs with WHITE slipcovers (ditto), I have a black area rug with big white rings, and some really graphic black, gray & white fabric for the throw pillows. All with some deep turquoise and kiwi green accents. Can't wait till it's done!
