Graduation stationery, such as it might be sold at Target for example, is expensive! Of course, when you take a very close look at what is offered, it does not take long to note that with a bit of finesse, some creativity, and of course various readily available--free--graduation clipart from the Internet, you can create your very own graduation stationery for a fraction of the cost!

The Background

The background of your graduation stationery matters! Dispense with the boring white of everyday printer paper and instead opt for vellum colored paper. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, why not go with a graduation background--such as they are available from Hellas Multimedia--that not only mimics the yellow vellum but even features a whimsical Snoopy in the upper left hand corner?

The Graduation Invitations Graduation Party website also features a number of great and easy to use graduation clipart for making your very own graduation stationery from your printer, and best of all: this site includes copious instructions on how to make these images fit your sizing needs and also provide the appearance you are looking for.

The Images

Once you have decided on the background for your graduation stationery, you are ready to give your imagination free reign! Perhaps the one and only guidelines to remember is simply to stay within the theme and the appearance you are seeking to convey.

Graduation clipart images for a kindergarten graduation will be entirely different from those you would use for the graduation of an older student, such as mom or grandpa, who put family and other obligations before her or his need to achieve that coveted diploma!

Not to be missed, ethnic graduation clipart is also available for free online. Visit the ABKL Designs site for some cute images of ethnically themed graduates.

In addition, make your use of clipart match your use of backgrounds or borders, to keep a congruent appearance of your graduation stationery.

I would do this, but I don't have a color printer.
