The Perfect Summery Grad Card

What better way to personalize a grad gift than to hand paint graduation cards this year? They are easier than you think and so sweet the grads in your life will definitely want to hold onto these bespoke cards made especially for them.

Each card is one of a kind because the personalized lettering is offset or centered and the flowers are placed differently on each card.  Perfection is the opposite of what you want with these cards. You want your wildflowers to look organic and flowy with overlapping and fullness, like they are bursting off the page.

I've had recipients frame my cards, hang them on their college dorm doors, or place them on their fridges to add brightness to their spaces. They just add a little joy to everyday life.  Grab some paints and watercolor paper and give this tutorial a try.  I print 4 cards per page so it's great to batch a few to have ready for your parties this summer.

Bonus! At the end of the tutorial is a more masculine grad card, perfect for the guys in your life.  Let's Create!
