Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Moments in Time Release Blog Hop.
My card features the Swiss Dots stamp on the background. I used an older Cap and Gown die set for the images. For the sentiment I used the new CZ Grad Basics set.
GIVEAWAY!
We’re giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from your blog comment section.
Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 4th of June.

May 30, 2025 at 9:07 amLove your card Laura Bassen, I’m calling it a “Triple Classic” Graduation card – nothing is more classic than a “Swiss Dots” pattern to a card maker, Caps & Gowns are classic to Graduates & Graduation and “Rainbow Order (can’t sing it in type but you get the idea) is pure classic for Laura Bassen. Perfect card for a graduate.
