Thank you card etiquette.

I’m writing thank you cards along the lines of “Dear [name], Thank you for celebrating my graduation with me, and thank you for the [specific gift]…” but what would be the proper etiquette for someone who sent a check? I obviously want to thank them for the generous gift (they gave me $100!), but as cheers mentioned, “thank you for the money” doesn’t sound quite right. I’ve never written a thank you card in my life (it isn’t customary in Sweden, as far as I know), so this is all new to me.
