Deluxe Graduation Announcements

Homeschool Diploma.com has received Carlson Craft's Distinguished Dealer award for the past 7 years for the work we do to assist our customers! You are ordering from a small business with excellent customer service, NOT from a computer where your data goes direct-to-press!

Announcements are not submitted for printing until we have e-mailed or called you with any questions or suggestions about your text which are beyond the scope of what you give us permission to change

#1
 This elegant white and gold design has a wide gold stripe at the line where the card opens.  It is created with "soft gold" foil, which gives it an understated richness. This design is very nice with the black ink as shown (a less expensive option), or you can use one of the other dark colors like navy, hunter, violet, or claret. You may choose the eagle shown here, or one of the other mascots or crests we offer. The year-line shown is one of three different styles you can choose from.  Use the blue button below to view the various options that are available for this and the other "customizable" deluxe announcements.

#2
Soft Gold on Black Linen... We're pleased to be able to offer this popular design again for 2010. The gold foil used for the embossed "Class of" and the vertical year-line stripe is a soft gold foil, rather than an overly shiny one.  It is so striking against the black linen paper! You may select either gold or silver ink for the printing, which is used for the crest or mascot of your choice on the front, for the year line of your choice along the side, and for your text inside. This card is attractively priced when you consider that gold or silver ink is included in the price.

#3
This combination of soft white paper and silver foil is very contemporary, shown here with navy ink. The "seniors" crest design that fills the "O" has the traditional symbols in the four quadrants -- music, science, athletics, and the letters. One of the other crests or the eagle or other mascot may be used instead. The horizontal line above the year is silver foil, and it marks the place where the top section overlaps the bottom. Use one of the year line options as shown, or have us print your school name or student name at the bottom.

#4
This has been a very popular design in years past on grey parchment, and has been updated for 2010 with a flat, smooth, medium-grey paper.  The combination of grey paper and silver foil is great with navy ink. Black ink is also a nice choice, especially since the black ink is less expensive. The "cap and scroll" design shown here may be used, or one of the crest designs or mascots may be substituted. To personalize this completely, you may substitute your own school name in place of the year line!

#5
The silver foil emblem on this bright white card says "Senior" and not "Seniors"... perfect for a class of one! You can have us print either your school name or student name at the bottom of this card, and select the lettering style, too. The ink color you choose is used to print the crest or mascot of your choice, the school name, and the "Class of 2010" section within the silver foil. The horizontal silver foil stripe is textured with a repeating "grad cap" design. This is shown in cobalt ink, but is also very nice with black, hunter, navy or violet ink.

#6
We're excited about this new design for 2010 - the shiny flat gold foil is a nice coice with the creamy ivory paper. This is slightly different from the others in this section because the yearline may be chosen, but the crest style, which is part of the card's front design, may not be changed. In addition, this is an accordian-fold, or "Z-fold" style card with name card slots in the bottom of the center panel. The text goes on the bottom panel. Use the button below to view a fully-opened photo of this card. You may select black raised ink or a colored ink. Keep in mind that the ink color is used for the yearline, which shows as part of the front of the card. The raised gold ink is shown on the sample, and is probably the nicest choice. Add to this a pair of deckled-edge envelopes, and you have something that is very elegant! Note that this is the least expensive of the Deluxe Announcements!

# 7.
The use of silver and gold foil together has been growing in popularity the past few years, and now we have an announcement design that fills that need! This is a black linen tri-fold design, but instead of just gold foil (as in #2 above) this has silver for the wording and both gold and silver foil in the front crest. You may choose either flat silver or flat gold ink; the color you choose will be used for the yearline (style only as shown) and for your text inside. Tri-fold announcement comes with inner and outer white envelopes and is shipped flat, scored for folding. This is a french-folded style, which must be folded in half, and then folded twice more. It opens along the silver vertical stripe on the front.

#8.
Green and gold is a classic color combination, and this design on smooth white vellum brings out the best of both. The green foil is a fairly bright green, and either the gold ink or the hunter green ink can be used. "Hunter" is a little darker than the green foil and is shown here. Black ink also looks very nice on this card. Like the one above, the crest is embossed in both foil colors, and this is a tri-fold style with slots for the name card in the lower left inside panel. The ink color you choose is used for the yearline on the front and for the inside text. Shipped flat and scored for folding. Double white envelopes are included.

#9
Embossed red foil on the black linen paper makes this announcement glow!  The crest is silver and red foil, and the flat silver ink used for the inside text is also used to print the vertical "2010" year-line on the right flap.  This announcement is French folded, with the opening along the vertical red foil line. The name card slits are on the bottom of the left hand panel when the card is opened, and your optional verse or motto occupies the area above the name card.

#10
Maroon and Gold is a popular and traditional combination, and this is an elegant design that uses both of these colors in foil against a smooth white vellum paper.The vertical stripe is made up of a wide maroon foil line and a narrower stripe of gold. The crest is also maroon and gold foil, and the year line is printed in the ink color of your choice. The soft gold foil "Class of"  has a slight airbrushing behind it that accentuates the embossing.  Name card slots are on the lower section of the inside left panel.

#11.
This "Silver, Blue and Black" design has consistently been one of our most popular deluxe cards. It is stunning: the light grey airbrushing makes the silver and blue foil letters pop out against the black linen. The horizontal strip which accents the point where the card opens matches the deep blue foil of the letters.  Printing on this announcement is available only in flat silver ink, which is perfect with the silver foil on the front. The black linen is a single, heavy card stock, not a French-folded paper. The upper inside panel holds the name card, with room for an optional mascot, verse, or motto above it. This is an accordion-fold card; to see what it looks like when opened up, use the button below to see the ensemble photo.

#12.
Silver on white with purple foil accents -- a clean, celebratory look that is great for male or female grads! The crest has both purple and silver foil, and the vertical stripe along the edge where the card opens is a bright purple foil. Purple is an especially difficult color to picture on a computer monitor, but this is a "royal" purple, solidly between red and blue. The new "Violet" ink is a very good choice for ink (as shown), as is the raised silver ink. The ink color chosen is used for the year-line, as well as the inside text. Name card slots are at the bottom of the left inside panel.
