You could use a cap and diploma stamp with maybe a script in the background. Using some embossing powder with the cap and diploma will make it stand out.
I hope this helps.

Why don't you ask your daughter for some imput. Maybe you could go look at stamps together.

she isn't into crafting- she wants me to make some "samples" and then she will pick her favorite-I want to make them as special as she is!

Do a search online for graduation announcements to get ideas.
Here's some: http://www.compuforms.cceasy.com/order/CasPage1.cfm?prev=1&TempPrev=0&blnPreviewRequestSubmitted=0&recordsperpage=12&CompletedOrder=0&sBasketID=0&alogo=1&menu=0&morethanonepage=YES&HostDomain=0&FirstTimeThrough=1&option=CasPage1.cfm&format=GRACasEnsDT26&CFID=23249546&CFTOKEN=89034659

Go into a store that sells the stamping supplies. They usually have tons of ideas hanging around the walls. We make our own on the computer. Last year we had my sons picture, like a water mark, and printed the invite over top of it.

Embossing is a great and easy touch to make the cards look high-dollar. We did my daughter's wedding invitations with embossing and a touch of glitter- (it was a fairy theme)

Blessings,

Here is a card I made for my grandson ans while it is a mix of rubber stamping and even embellishments. It was much easier to find graduation type stamps in June but the bursting stars was a 4th of July stamp. Just use your noggin. Good luck and congrats to your daughter, MaryBeth
