Hey there, crafty friends! We’re continuing with our Staff Selections today as TE staff member, Leslie, requested inspiration for graduation cards and gifts as her daughter prepares to graduate from high school this spring. So what is on the most wanted gift list for all graduates!? Gift cards, of course! Gift cards can sometimes be a boring gift to give, but I assure you that there’s nothing boring about the ideas that two of our designers are sharing today!

As a nod to Leslie’s daughter, Keia Shipp-Smith designed her gift set in the maroon and gold colors of Ankeny High School. The Tagging Along box makes the perfect package for a gift card and you can make it extra fun by creating a shaker element on the front! The matching card using our Block Party – Grad die would be easy to personalize in lots of different school colors.

Kim Singdahlsen grabbed the Shining Star Cutting Plate and paired it with the Tag Pocket to package an Amazon gift card to coordinate with a cute little journal for the grad to take on their next adventure!

Thanks so much for tuning in to the TE blog today! Stop back tomorrow to see two beautiful gift ideas perfect for the grad to display in their new dorm room! In the meantime, happy stamping!
