Be careful the money doesn't fall out when you open the card...........


A 8x8in card matt and layered with green card. A 65 cut out with a Cricut and a Elderly man topper.
We wanted a humorous card so the front says:
Be careful the money doesn't fall out when you open the card.......
the card is stuck together!
My husband has a bit of a reputation that he is very careful with his money so this is very apt for him to send to a friend
