Gift card holder tutorial!

 

Hey stampers,
I posted a cute gift card holder the other day (June 25th)  and had several requests for directions so I did a tutorial with the help of my daughter Lindsey….she is the hand model holding things so I could snap the pictures.

The original project was done with the Urban Oasis paper and since that is retiring today, I thought I would switch it to the new Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. I got the original idea from a project on Shelli’s blog. It was a gift she gave to Stampin’Up employees. You can fit 2 gift cards in it or a gift card in one slot and a note in the other one.

 

 

 

 

This is the finished project and here is how you do it…..

 

 

 

 

 

Cut your designer series paper to 4 x 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut your cardstock in half so that it is 8 1/2 by 5 1/2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Score the cardstock at 4 and 8 on the long side and at 2 3/4 on the short side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fold the flap over at the end and put your snail adhesive down that edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring the other side over and close it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now fold it in half from the bottom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leaving it folded, lay the folded piece on the edge of your top note die so that the folded edge is hanging off. You want a little more than half of it hanging off the edge. Make sure you have it centered evenly too.

 

 

 

Run it through with it hanging out like this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will be left with this cool looking edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apply your snail adhesive to one side of the project and then flip it over and line it up about 1/8 inch from the top edge of your designer paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now apply the adhesive to the other side and press it down (I have flipped it around in this picture)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I used the eyelet border punch along the top edge and then folded that over.

 

 

 

 

Tie with a ribbon and add your tag and you are all set. Super quick and easy project.
