Preschool Graduation Card Making Ideas

If you want to create a custom-made graduation card, or invitation, in order to invite friends or family members to a preschool graduation ceremony or to send out graduation cards to commemorate the milestone in your child's life, there are a few approaches you can choose. If you choose to create your design in a graphics program, you can either purchase card stock at retailers and print your cards with your home printer or you can have an office supply store print your cards in bulk.
  1. Add Photographs

    • Add a photograph of your child at his class's graduation ceremony to graduation cards you make and that you intend to send out to relatives and friends. One approach for creating a preschool card is to use a graphics program to write your text and to add your photos to. There are several graphics programs that you can choose. Select a program based on your skill level and budget. Microsoft Paint is a basic option, while Photoshop allows you to add photos, text and any other graphics that you may want to add, to "layers," which can be useful.

    Creating Artwork

    • You can also create you own artwork to add to preschool graduation cards you are planning to make. You can draw or paint an image of your child dressed up in his graduation outfit or you can take a photo from the graduation ceremony into a graphics program such as Photoshop or Corel Draw. By adding filters and other effects, you can turn a photograph into, for instance, an oil painting or other artsy image.

    Handmade Cards

    • Handmade preschool graduation cards can be made by mom, or by the graduation boy or girl with mom's help. For this handmade option, purchase kraft paper from a craft store or a retail craft department, such as Wal-Mart. Select other craft materials such as glitter, ribbon and markers, crayons and nontoxic glue. You can have several photos of the graduation ceremony printed and use each in the center of the front panel of your card or on the inside panel.
