Pull Tab Flip Gift Card Holder

I love to make these cards, but haven't done one in a while, as the Classic Label Punch that we used for the Pull Tab has retired.  Well, you CAN use a narrow die of your choice, OR the Classic Label Punch is currently on sale in the Clearance Rack!!  I have never done one with a landscape orientation or with a larger flip.  So, here is my version that I also made into a Gift Card Holder....a "Becky Original".



Measurements:  

  • Real Red: 1/2 sheet, 2" x 6" (pull tab), 2 3/4" x 4"
  • Old Olive: 3 1/4" x 4 3/8"
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" x 4"
  • Heartwarming Hugs DSP (N): 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP (N): 1 5/8" x 3 7/8" (stripe), die cuts - tree, mints
To Make This Card:

  • Attach Basic White piece to folded Real Red card. 
  • Score "pull tab" at 2" and 2 1/2".  Crease well with Bone Folder.  Punch Tag Punch along "longer" end.
  • Center Classic Label Punch (or use a  long, narrow die of your choice) along long side of DSP, push in all the way. Punch.  This needs to be roughly in 2" for this fold.
  • Crease along first score line.  
  • Place Seal+ (Tear & Tape) along 1/2" area between score lines.  Center & attach the Olive rectangletear, lining cut edge to scored line.
  • Now, insert Pull Tab through the punched slit. Pull until the Olive piece flips up. Place Tear & Tape on the exposed Red Pull Tab, near the crease.  Attach Red Rectangle to Pull Tab.
  • Place Seal+ (Tear & Tape) on underside of Red rectangle. Center this piece in center of card, and attach attach to DSP.
  • Pop up DSP with "pull tab" using Dimensionals.  Be sure to keep Dimensionals away from sliding "pull tab".  Attach to card front. Check to make sure the Pull Tab still works!
  • Cut 2 Stitched Rectangles from Scalloped Contour Dies. Attach one to the inside on the Old Olive piece.  Add a couple die cut mints.  This is where you can write your message!
  • On the Red, inside piece, attach DSP "pocket" with 1/8" Tear & Tape.  Decorate with a few more die cut mints.  Tuck your gift card here!
  • On the other White rectangle, stamp sentiment in Real Red in upper Right corner. Attach to Old Olive front.
  • Fussy cut a tree, and attach to White piece with Dimensionals.
  • Finish by attaching small piece of Sheer Red Ribbon to Pull Tab, and decorate tree with Red Rhinestones!

Peppermint Kisses

I fell in love with the "traditional" red & white peppermint card using the Scallop Contour Dies and awesome, versatile Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP. So many images can be cut directly from the DSP, but I chose to "make" my peppermints using cardstock and dies!!  

Measurements:    

  • Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" (label), scraps
  • Real Red: 1/4 sheet, scraps
  • Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP: 2 3/4" x 4"
To Make This Card:

  • Run Real Red piece through largest scallop die. Then, run the White piece through the next size, and lastly, the DSP with the next size.
  • Attach the Real Red to folded Basic White card base. Then, add White layer. The DSP piece is popped up with Dimensionals.
  • Stamp sentiment in Real Red onto piece of White. Cut out with "label" die.  Adhere, flat, to card.
  • Cut one each of peppmints, for a total of 3.  Also cut "detail" from White.  Attach together.
  • Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with Red Rhinestones in center of "peppermints"
