My 1st grandson is graduating this week. My first! When did that happen?
When did he grow up? *sigh*
I wanted to make him a special card in his school colors of Navy and White. When I saw Jennifer McGuire's money card, I knew that was it. I wanted a bit more fancier so I went a step further and made it an easel shaker money card. It took me a moment to figure how to make it work but I got it!
I love how you can see the money through the window. The money pulls out through a slit in the back. Even with the money removed, it is still a great card to display. The graduation cap is the stopper for it to lean against.
I made an A2 card and even though I will hand it to him, it does lay flat in an envelope for mailing.

What a great graduation card, Netta! My first grandson is only 2 but I really hope to make him a grad card as cute as this one is someday! Love that the money is available to him without spoiling the card. I'd love it if you would submit this card at Creative Creases Challenge on my blog - our followers would love seeing it. Thank you for playing with us at the Alphabet Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
