I am getting ready for my Gift Card Holder class next month. This is a design that I haven't tried before. It's a Joy Fold card turned into a Gift Card Holder. I usually make several ideas, and choose them later... I do like how nicely this one is coordinated! Join me for class the 3rd week of December!
Measurements:
- Real Red: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" x 8"
- Old Olive: 2 1/2" x 4"
- Basic White: 2 1/2" x 4", 1 7/8" x 3"
- Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (sm peppermints), 2 1/2" x 4" (lg peppermints), 3" square (stripe), die cut "mints", die cut snowflake
To Make This Card
- Fold large Real Red piece in half. Trim 2 3/4" from front flap. You will not need this piece for this card.
- Attach Small Peppermint piece to inside.
- Attach Large Peppermint print side to front flap.
- Fold small Real Red piece in half. Adhere to inside of card with the fold to the RIGHT.
- Cut a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle from Old Olive. Attach to the front of this smaller folded card.
- Cut the same size from Basic White. Attach this to the inside.
- Stamp sentiment in Real Red onto smallest piece of white. Cut out with smaller Stitched Scalloped Rectangle. Adhere to front over Old Olive.
- Take 3" square of DSP and cut a half circle with the Layering Circle Dies along one side. Attach to the inside of the smaller, red card. I used 1/8" Tear & Tape around 3 sides.
- Die cut mints from the Large Peppermint DSP using coordinating die. Also cut out one "snowflake" of your choice.
- Take one large "mint", place Mini Dimensionals along one side, close smaller red card into place, and attach the "mint" to help keep the smaller card closed. Note: You might want to strengthen this piece by mounting it on a piece of cardstock.
- Decorate the front of the small, red card with peppermints, pop up a couple with Dimensionals. Also, add a few Red Rhinestones.
- Don't forget to decorate the inside! I placed 3 "mints" inside, and the die cut "snowflake" onto the Gift Card "Pocket". Also decorate the inside with Red Rhinestones.
