A Graduation Money Holder

I've started making some graduation cards. This one is a money holder. I decided to just use some fun bright colors so that it works for any recipient. I sized it to fit in the Small Open-End Envelopes (which are 6-3/4" x 3-1/2"). And the size perfectly holds paper money. For this photo, oddly enough, all I had was a $2 bill!
This is the inside of the money holder. I used the 1-1/4" Circle Punch to cut a half-circle through which you can see the face on the bill. Underneath the $$ I stamped the "congratulations, congratulations, congratulations" stamp from the Great Grads set.

My First Graduation Card of the Season

I like how it turned out though. This is the first of many graduation cards I need to make this year. I also have a niece & a cousin graduating from high school, a niece & a nephew graduating elementary school & a nephew graduating from kindergarten this year!
