Deluxe Graduation Announcements

We proofread every order.

Homeschool Diploma.com has received Carlson Craft's Distinguished Dealer award for the past 9 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-generated system where your data goes direct-to-press without human intervention!

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 edit.

• The designs in the Deluxe category are the most luxurious, because they contain areas of foil, embossing, or both. All have slots for name cards.
  

• Raised ink (thermography) is used for the printing on the entire announcement, except for those printed on black or red paper, which are printed with silver or gold flat ink.
  

• Write your own text or follow one of our suggested announcement texts. You may choose the lettering style for the announcement text, as well as the ink color.
  

• See the "Announcement Details" section at the left side of our site for information about the many options offered.
  

• A Bible verse, motto, or mascot may be used on the inside page opposite the text for an additional charge of $8.00.
  

• Design #11 is printed on heavy card stock. The others are printed on quality paper which is French-folded, as are the classic announcements. All are shipped flat and scored for folding.

Deluxe Announcements, Section One

The items within this first section, Deluxe announcements # 1 - 5,  have design elements which are customizable. None of the foil areas of the design may be changed, but some elements of the printed area (the style of the year line, and/or the crest or mascot for the front) may be selected according to your tastes. All of the announcements in this first section are a "French-folded" tri-fold design, which means they must be folded in half along the scored line, and then folded twice more to create one larger and one smaller panel. The larger panel overlaps the smaller along the foil line. They are shipped flat and scored for folding.

#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 Vellum... We're pleased to be able to offer this popular design again for 2012. 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 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 a mascot (such as the eagle) 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.

#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 2012" 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.

Deluxe Announcements, Section Two

The following deluxe announcements, # 7- 14, are some of the nicest cards we have. There are some new designs here, as well as some that have been popular for several years. All of the announcements in this section have two foil colors, compared to those announcements in the first section, which have only one color of foil per card. The majority of these are printed on quality paper which must be folded in half and then folded twice again. If you are timid about folding, #11 is printed on heavy card stock and needs only two simple folds.

# 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 "2012" 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
If you're looking for a gorgeous announcement that is easy to fold, this is it! This is stunning -- the light grey airbrushing really makes the blue foil "Seniors" pop out against the black stock! The horizontal foil stripe is the same deep blue found in the letters and the crest. Unlike the other tri fold styles on this page, this card is technically a "Z-fold" style. Instead of two small flaps that overlap as they fold toward the center, this is an "accordion" style fold, and it is printed on a heavy card stock that is very easy to fold. See the ensemble photo for a view of the inside of the card, which has room for a small area of optional text above the name card slots.

#12
Silver on white with purple foil accents - a clean, celebratory look that is great for male or female graduates! the crest has both purple and silver foil, and the vertical stripe along the point where the card opens is purple foil. Purple can be a difficult color to picture on a computer monitor, but regardless of what this looks like on your screen, our purple is a ROYAL purple, solidly between red and blue. The violet ink is a very good choice, as is the raised silver
ink. Name card slots are on the bottom left inside panel of the card.
