Congrats Grad - part 2

Here are two of the graduation cards I made this year. They were inspired by Pinterest,but I tweaked them a bit.  I wanted to include a gift card or check (we debated about whether the HS grads would even know what to do with a check!)

I made them the colors of the graduation announcement that we received.  For the first one, I used a quarter sheet (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) of Real Red card stock and glued a thick whisper white card (cut a little narrower) to the red card stock. The letters were cut using the Large Letters framelits and the "congrats" was cut from the SUNSHINE WISHES THINLITS DIES.  The balloons were punched from silver foil paper and red glimmer paper.

I used a retired greeting inside, and made an area where I could tuck in a check.

For the purple and gold card I used a half sheet of the new Gorgeous Grape cardstock, and cut the white piece to leave a 1/8 inch border.  Although I usually add embellishments in "threes", I thought the 2 balloons off to the right looked better.

This time I put the check on the top inside of the card, and added a graduation hat from a retired set.
