This is called a Spanner Panel Card.  Panels are cut with a clear piece of acrylic across them, and embellishments (and or sentiments) are placed on the bridge span.  The card flips open to a top fold mini panel that opens to the main greeting of the card.  Fun to make, this card was inspired by Lisa Curcio at Lisa's Stamp Studio The mortarboard and diploma are from Graduation DieSet B556 by Cheery Lynn Designs.

 For Georgia's Graduation Present, we bought her new tires for the Kia car that we bought her when she graduated from High School.  This is the outside of that card.  Michelin man from internet and paper from Melanie Britt Digitals at her Esty store. The Cap's border was in my files and I have no idea who designed that frame.  This is the outside of her card.

 And this is the inside

 

                                                              Travel Safely Georgia
                                                              On the highway of life,

                                                              Be ever careful,
                                                              Be ever attentive!
                                                              Drive slowly. Drive safely.
