The largest paper was cut w\/ a dot dash die &amp; I cut a slightly larger red layer to go behind it. I attached them together w\/ temporary tape &amp; used the smallest circle die &amp; cut through both of them. I removed the red layer &amp; used a larger circle to cut around the circle in the printed paper. It was here I decided I wanted more of an impact around the circle, so I used a larger dot mask circle &amp; cut the printed paper around the circle again. I used an even larger dot dash to cut a circle out of darker printed paper &amp; cut the inside out. The 2 circles were layered on top of each other then attached around the red circle. The greeting was stamped on a white circle &amp; attached behind. You could stamp it directly on the card front, but things seem to always go wrong when I do that. I added the red bow tie, the diploma &amp; small mortarboard after the layers were attached to the card.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43449 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"936\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685.jpg 936w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685-400x272.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685-175x119.jpg 175w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grad-Circle-xcu-IMG8685-177x120.jpg 177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThanks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">so much for stopping by!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12715 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2211596643\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies: \u00a0(click the names below the pictures to take you to the products)<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 177px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"724\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
