I finally finished putting together what I thought would be a simple tutorial for this great little Gift Card Holder. I don't like giving too many gift cards, but every year at Christmas, it seems that there are some people who would either prefer one, or I just can't come up with another idea! So, when I do give one, I like to make it fun to receive. When going through some of my samples, I came across this one. It's fun & easy so I thought I would also share it with you here!
The base is 4-1/4" x 11". So you can get 2 out of one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock. I used Early Espresso. Score this at 2-1/4" and 6-3/4". Fold on the score lines.
Cut 2 pieces of coordinating Designer Series Paper 2" x 4". I've used Letters To Santa here. With the folded holder facing you, adhere DSP to "top" and "bottom" of the front of the holder.
Open holder. With the right side facing up, and top facing away from you, punch a slot for the Gift Card using the Word Window Punch. The gift card is slightly wider than the punch, so to make the slot long enough for the card, just move the punch over a little and punch again, elongating the first punch.
Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock 4" x 4", stamp image & sentiment and adhere to the inside. I realized when doing this that I had chosen a retired stamp set ~ Jolly Old Saint Nick, but I love that Santa Face image.
The Belly Band is 1" x 10". Wrap it around holder, but not too tight. You want to be able to slide it up and down. I put the seam in the center front and cover it up with the Scallop Decoration.
I punched the 1-3/4" Scallop from Cherry Cobbler Card Stock, layered a 1-1/4" Early Espresso Circle Punch, and then the Santa image from the Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Set punched out with the 1" Circle Punch.Stamp a To/From on the front and you're done!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that you find it useful this Christmas or any time you have the need to give a Gift Card!
