Do you need a graduation card fast? Today I am making a simple graduation card using the stamp set in the new April 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit. This card is for a very special girl. She is my best friends daughter and will be attending the Naval Academy Preparatory School in the fall. When I got this months Paper Pumpkin kit I saw it was perfect for a future sailor.
