Fun & Interactive Gift Card Holder! |
G
ift cards are VERY popular... they're easy to give when you're not sure what to buy and who doesn't like shopping for themselves. BUT as the gifter, it can feel a little... impersonal. As much as I love to get them, I sometimes hesitate to give them. I want the person to feel special. Loved. Like I really took time to pick something just for them. So I solved that dilemna by making a super-cute way to present it that screams ***"YOU ARE SPECIAL!"*** That's what handmade is all about!
Not only is this card cute, fun and interactive- it's quick and easy, too! (I won't tell!:) And the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper and coordinating ribbon, make it look oh, so luxurious! With 4 yummy colors, you're sure to be making these for holidays, birthdays, baby showers and weddings. What's not to love?!!!

This card is made from 4 pieces.
(1) "LID"
Foil Frenzy SDSP
Cut 4.25" wide by 3" high.
Score in half at 1.5"
(2) "BOX"
Foil Frenzy SDSP
Cut 3-1/2" wide by 7-1/4" long.
Score in half at 3-5/8"
To create "box":
Apply Tear & Tape along edges on one side of the score line. Remove paper and adhere together.
Burnish taped areas and fold with bone folder.
(3) GIFT CARD HOLDER
Coordinating Cardstock
Cut 2-1/2" wide by 4-1/4 long.
Score on long side at 1/2".
Fold up to create flap that will be a short pocket.
Adhere washi tape around to back. Burnish with bone folder.
Optional: Stamp sentiment on either side.
Insert into box.
Center left to right and make sure it's
all the way to bottom.
Apply Tear & Tape at top edge sticking out.
Remove paper and attach to inside of lid.
***Make sure your lid is centered and
butted up to box before adhering.***
Fold lid at score line; burnish with bone folder.
Apply adhesive of choice inside lid and close.
(4) TRIM/BAND
Foil Frenzy SDSP (I used chevron)
Cut 1-1/2" wide by 12" long.
Starting at the top of the lid, place band over lid/box and bring around to top again- forming a band around the entire card.** Pinch at bottom and top.
Place Tear & Tape as shown.
Adhere band together.
**LEAVE A SMALL GAP AT THE BOTTOM AND TOP SO BAND IS SLIGHTLY LOOSE!
Too tight will make it difficult to get on/off.
Cut a 23" piece of ribbon.
Starting at top of lid, adhere ribbon to band with a mini glue dot, adding a few more as you go around the band, ending again at top front.
Cut off remaining ribbon and use to tie a large bow. Trim ends, as needed, and adhere
with mini glue dots.
Insert Gift Card and it's ready to give!
This fits in a Medium Envelope and is mailable!
