It's that time of year!  Graduations, weddings, Sweet 16 parties....

Design Team Member Kate is back again with another handmade graduation card idea. This slimline money holder card is such a fun way to gift money. Though this example is graduation themed, you can adapt this money holder card for any theme.

Essentially you will be making a Slimline Card: front panel sized 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches, but this one has a small flap that is perfect for a cash/check gift.  

Start with a heavy weight card stock cut to 8 1/2 inches by 9 1/4 inches.  Score the longer side (9 1/4 inches) at 2 1/4 inches and 5 3/4 inches. 

Adhere the smaller flap on both ends with some double sided tape (or strong adhesive). (This is where you will be putting the money).  

Decorate the front of your card as you would normally.  My daughter is graduating from college this year and green & gold are her school colors! 

I can see this card idea as a great one to make for Christmas as well!
