Hello,
Welcome back for Week7 Gift Card Holders, Need some Ideas for all those gift cards being gifted during the holidays? Let's make them special and handmade, cause a gift card isn't fancy without a fantasticly crafted holder to slip them inside, so whether you like to give them to teachers, your mailperson, neighbour, hair stylist or nail tech. I've got you covered with some fun holders to dress up that gift card.
Your Base Card Stock should be 8 1/2' x 5 1/2' , scored at 1/2' & 4 1/2'on the long side.
DSP Layer 3 5/8' x 5 1/8'.
Basic White Card Stoak 5'x 3 3/4' - for inside.
Circle punch or die - to make inside tab pullout space.
Handheld hole punch or Crop-o-dile.
Your decoration pieces, scraps, embellishments, ribbon, ink and stamp set.
AND ANOTHER FOR YOU :)
This Holder design is like a matchbook, very small and can easily slip in a stocking, or gift bag or box if you are putting together a larger gift. I loved the Whimsy & Wonder 12 x 12 DSP from the second I saw it and when I started making my samples this paper jumped out at me. It so easy to use just elements of the paper to decorate, and that is what I did by cutting out the ornament shapes I liked best. I tied a bow with Linen Thread and hung my ornaments off some scraps. The sentiment dies cut came from Tasteful Lables dies and I sponged around the edges with Blushing Bride Ink and a sponge dauber. The "For You" is from Joyful Life Stamp Set.
The inside decorating is taken care of by the DSP so no need to get fancy, save all that for the front:)
To Create These Yourself...
Card Stock Base 2 3/4' x 11', scored on the long side @ 3', 3 1/4', 7 1/4'.
DSP Layers 2 5/8' x 2 7/8' , 2 5/8' x 3 5/8'.
You will see in the picture above you will need to cut a slit a bit wider than your gift card, I did have to play with my sizing a bit as I had gift cards that had different thicknesses, so just keep testing til you get it sliding in and out comfortably. You will place Tear & Tape on the inside flap of where you cut your slit to secure it down. If you want to keep the front flap down more secure you could use a mini magnet or small velcro dot.
So what do you think? Pretty right? Who wouldn't want to get a Gift Card now:) Makes the Starbucks or Tim Hortons Card feel pretty fancy! I hope you have enjoyed these and make a few yourself, please comment or post a picture of yours, I would love to see them:) Don't forget the Retro Series of the same projects but with a twist of Retired Items that you may have in your Craft Stash. Hope to see you back next week for Week 6 projects.
Paper Hugs,
Shanna
