Graduation Money Holder

ETA - If you'd like a copy of the template, click here. It should print to a standard 8.5x11. Otherwise, the measurements are also included.

This card is the second one my mother-in-law chose. It was pretty simple to do, and I may try a few more as they work great for tucking in every grad's favorite gift - cash!

Inspiration
Little Red Wagon Challenge #28 ~ Brads
Cute Card Thursday #112 ~ Someone Special
Stamp Something Challenge ~ Celebrate Somethings
Creative Belli Challenge #91 ~Hole Punches
I used up some of my paper stash and a leftover heart from Valentine's Day, plus THREE brads (one is holding the tassel on the front of the card.
Crazy 4 Challenges #37 ~ Create a Pocket
365 Cards Day 78 ~ Imagine This: Money
I was inspired to make a card where I can stick in a bit o' the green stuff for a graduate.
