I’m excited to share the graduation-themed paper craft projects I’ve been creating over the past few months. From tote bags and cake toppers to handmade cards, these projects were such a fun way to celebrate graduation season while experimenting with different crafting techniques and materials.
Watch Me Bloom Mini Tote Bag
Watch Me Bloom Mini Tote Bag
Last year, I had the opportunity to be part of the Printable Cuttable Creatables Design Team, and this month I returned as a guest designer for their graduation-themed challenge. For my project, I created this adorable “Watch Me Bloom” Mini Tote Bag.
This was a simple yet enjoyable project made using the Cricut Design Space with my Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut EasyPress 3. I used iron-on vinyl along with Ohuhu fabric markers to add extra details to the tote bag. It was actually my first time trying fabric markers, and I really enjoyed the creative process.
The design I used was the “Watch Me Bloom” SVG file from Printable Cuttable Creatables.
Graduation Cake Toppers
I also made two graduation cake toppers for this season. The first was a printable cake topper, while the second featured a layered paper-craft design for added dimension and texture.
Both topper designs were created using SVG files from Cricut Design Space. I love how versatile these designs are for customizing graduation party decorations.
Congratulations Cards
One of my favorite parts of this crafting series was making handmade congratulations cards. In total, I created five different cards, each with its own unique style.
The first card featured a layered balloon design paired with a “Congrats” phrase. The second card was a draw-and-color project, while the remaining three were cutaway cards. For these cards, I used the Cricut machine to draw, cut, and color the designs, which made the process both fun and efficient.
All SVG files used for these cards were also from Cricut Design Space.
Owl Graduation Card
The final project I created was an Owl Graduation Card. The original SVG design was actually intended for a writing pad project, but I decided to repurpose the owl element into a graduation-themed card instead.
The SVG file for this project came from Dreaming Tree, and I really love how cute and creative the finished card turned out.
Final Thoughts
These graduation crafts were such a fun collection of projects to work on. I enjoyed experimenting with different techniques like layered paper crafting, draw-and-cut designs, and fabric markers. Graduation season is always a wonderful time to create personalized handmade gifts and decorations, and I’m happy to have added these projects to my crafting journey.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my graduation paper craft projects!
