Christmas Gift Card Holder

Hello all,

Now that Halloween has passed, I'm focused on all things Christmas. This week, in preparation for one of the city's biggest craft fairs, I've been making dozens of gift card holders. The one I'm going to show you today is quick and easy.

You'll need to pieces of Real Red Cardstock, measuring 8 1/2" x 3 1/4" and 8 1/2 x 1/2". Score both pieces at 2 3/4" and 6 3/4". (Tip: On the skinny piece, just go a hair over the 6 3/4" mark when scoring.) Cut a 3" x 4" piece of Let it Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper and cut it again (in landscape position) at 2 1/2". This will give you 2 1/2" & a 1 1/2" pieces. You'll also need a 3" x 2 1/2" piece  and a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock.

Using your Real Red Classing Stampin' Pad, stamp your greeting "Very Merry" from the adorable Itty Bitty Christmas set on a scrap of Whisper White. Cut it out with your smallest Stitched Shapes Dies circle. If you don't yet have a die cutting machine, you can use a circular punch.

For assembly, fold along the score lines, bringing each end into the middle. On the small inside flap, apply Tear & Tape to both outside edges. Using your Snail or Multipurpose Liquid Glue, attach the DSP to the front of the card and the right flap. Attach the Whisper White piece to the inside of the left flap - this is where you'll write your message.

Lay the belly band over the top of the card and fold it around the back, along the score lines. Slip your Silicone Craft Sheet under the centre and apply a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using a Stampin' Dimensional or Mini Glue Dots, attach your greeting to the seam of the belly band.

And just like that you now a lovely homemade gift card or money holder.
