Gift Card Holders

My daughter, Kieran, recently made some gift card holders for some, er, gift cards she was giving for Christmas. She did an excellent job and our craft group asked if she would do a class. So she did!

One of the ones that Kieran made

Equipment

• Paper Trimmer 
• Bone Folder
• Punches, dies, etc, as desired

Materials

• 6” x 4” Patterned Paper
• 6” x 4” Light Coloured Plain Cardstock, e.g. Whisper White or Very Vanilla
• Tear and Tape
• Embellishments, as desired

Instructions

1. Cut the patterned paper 5¾“ x 4” and score at 2½“ and 5” on the long side.

2. Fold on the score marks and burnish with a Bone Folder.

3. Apply adhesive to the edges only of the small piece to form a pocket to hold the gift card, approximately ½” at each end. Fold this piece up.

4. Place a piece of Tear and Tape across the bottom so that the holder can be sealed once the gift card is in place.

5. Create labels and/or images (stamped or die cut) for the front of the holder.

6. Stamp "To" and "From" on some plain cardstock and attach to the back.

7. Attach labels and embellishments on the front of the card.

Note: Kieran found out that it is best to have the “To” and “From” on the back of the holder because if it’s inside you won’t be able to read it once it has been sealed.

And that's it. Very simple.

Happy crafting!
