After having finished making six similar grad cards last month, I realized a little late that I still needed to send out one more. Wanted to try something different, and got inspired by the grad card created by my friend, Teri (Big Ideas from a Little Girl) which she posted here. I really liked how the top of the mortarboard flipped up on her card to reveal a pocket underneath. My version doesn't have the fancy fold at the top of the card, but I changed it a bit so the monetary gift would pull out of the pocket as the card was opened.
Put together a quick cutfile for this on Design Studio using George as the basecard. Grad cap is a cut from the Locker Talk cartridge which I cut apart, and the diploma is actually a cut of a rolled up newspaper from the Pooh and Friends cartridge. "Congratulations" is a Sizzix sizzlit from the cardmaking set. Tassel and ribbon on diploma are purple because this was created for a very special graduate from NYU. You GO, Jonathan! We're so proud of you!!!!

Oh my Eunice this is the best graduation card ever! What a great idea to add the pocket to stash a little cash into it! Only you would have thought to do something so creative!
Very creative, Eunice.
Nice variation.
