Make your own Gift Card Holder

This gift card holder can be mailed in a regular envelope (it's card sized!), or give it on it's own for a festive presentation.

 

 

Supplies: Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit; Old Olive Classic Pad; Riding Hood Red and Old Olive card stock; 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" Circle punches; paper cutter with scoring blade; sticky strip; SNAIL adhesive

Instructions:

1. Score the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Riding Hood Red card stock at 1-3/4" and 5-1/2" with the 8-1/2" side against the bottom of the paper cutter. 
2. Fold up the 1-3/4" flap and stamp "Holiday Wishes" in Riding Hood Red ink in the lower right corner.
3. Fold the top flap down and randomly stamp snowflakes in Riding Hood Red ink.
4. Use sticky strip to attach the two sides of the small flap to the center panel of the card to form a pouch.
5. Fold the 1-1/4" wide strip of Old Olive card stock vertically around the card and attach the ends together.
6. Wrap the 1" strip of Designer Series Paper around the Old Olive band and tape into place.
7. Stamp "Enjoy" in Old Olive ink on Old Olive card stock and punch out with the 1-3/4" circle punch.
