Hi there!! Well, I’m ready for the graduates! When I sat down to play I wanted a gatefold kind of card to put in my bag of tricks for when I need graduates card quickly. These are simple – they are made with a 12" x 6" piece of paper that is scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10" for the gatefold. Just to keep things simple I used double sided paper. Both of these are made with the For the Graduate set from Our Daily Bread Designs.
The first one is intended for a female and the second one is more on the masculine side but could be given to a female also :-) I covered my bases.
I put a pocket on the inside to hold a little bit of cash. This could easily be modified to hold a gift card instead.
Since all the paper is double sided, it doesn’t look bad from behind either.
The size on both is 4 1/2" wide by 5 1/2" tall.

Beautiful, Becca! What a great way to present this graduation present! ;)
AAAA! I love the pocket! Now I can finish mine up! You do great work girl!
These are so pretty! I’d like to give this a try. The top part says the paper is 12×6 but the finished card size is 51/2… so just trim it down? I love how you find such creative ways to use your nesties! Thanks for sharing.
Becca, This is one of the neatest ideas for a quick, elegant, meaningful card! I have not done cards with this type of fold before, but I love it! Thanks for always sharing your creative ideas . . .
These are gorgeous,you come up with the greatest ideas..
Great idea for a graduation card. Love the fold. Beautiful!
Beautiful and clever card with the money holder inside.

Just what I needed! A grandson is graduating at this very moment and the surgeon who did my back surgery 2 weeks ago refused to give permission for me to attend (an hour away)! I like the inside pocket. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful work as always. Guess I NEED the mega oval ???
Fantastic cards!!! I have to get busy myself! Love this idea, especially the middle section! Thanks for sharing!
*hugs*
Lisa :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Have to try these. Thanks for sharing!
Lucky gratuates!!!! That’s all I have to say. Beautiful cards even if they didn’t have money in them. Love the paper.

Hi Becca
I find your cards STUNNING and especially those with the scriptures I find very inspiring. I’ve tried some, but it does not come close to yours, but a least I try!
God bless and keep up the good work.
Great cards, Becca. Love the different nesties you used on them.
Oh Wow these are fantastic, love the idea for giving money or a gift card, great verse for it too!
I am getting ready to make a few graduation cards, so your creations come at the perfect time. So pretty!
Thanks, Becca !
Gorgeous! I loooove your art!
Wow these are just fabulous!
What a wonderful pair of cards. I have grandchildren all over the U.S. and am always on the lookout for a different way to enclose money in cards for birthdays and special ocassions.
Thanks for another great idea!
These are awesome, thanks for sharing them with us!
Becca, this is adorable. I love all of the elegant swirls and dies. Beautiful card! Hugs
Brilliant!! It’s 2 treasures in one!
Both of these cards are beautiful Becca. Very creative in styling too. Beautifully embellished and I love both DP’s. K & CO. always makes the prettiest DP don’t they. As always Becca. TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful cards, love that paper used. Gatefold, even the single flap style would be a great way to use and to show off double sided paper! I always hate to cover up the other side when used on regular cards. Thanks for the great ideas Becca! I’ll have to try this soon, I need to make some quick cards and I’m liking this idea alot! : )
Ohhhhhh, Becca, those cards are beautiful. The paper is exquisite. And, that is an excellent idea for the money/gift card. I love gatefold cards.

Beautiful cards for the graduates. The card front is soooo pretty and i love the pocket you made for the inside. You arre so clever!
LOVE it!!! Just in time as I need a graduation card next week : ) Thanks, Becca!
Love and hugs ~
Lori
I love these cards! They are both beautiful.
OH BECCA, this or just fantastic and you have given me some great ideas. Off to play. LOL
Very, very pretty. I like the little change to make one feminine and the masculine. I just finished putting together my graduation cards for ths year but I like the idea of the money holder. Our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren receive cash/checks from us for their special occasions so that pocket idea will come in handy. Thanks for another neat idea.

These are awesome. So is your work as usual.
Clever idea! And just in time for graduations…
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Beautiful Becca! TFS.
Becca, I forgot to ask about the edge punch used on the masculine card. It’s a neat way to have the ends of the borders. Just curious.
Thanks.
These took my breath away. Wow.
This is so pretty….and very clever….I will have to case these for sure…..awesome…thank you
These card are really beautiful.
