I think

that I like this one better.

Gift Card Holder

I was asked by a few people how to make this gift card holder,so here it is. I got this wonderful idea from my demo Scrappermom_1 :) She is very talented and creative :)
I hope your enjoy! They make wonderful birthday gift card holders too!

First, start of with a 1/4 sheet of 8X11 cardstock. You can get 4 holders out of 1 sheet.

I then Score that sheet at 2 1/2in and again 5inches, turn it on its side and score one edge at 1/4 in. It should look like this :)













You will then need to trim of the section of cardstock where both of your score lines meet.


Turn your paper over and turn up the remaining scored edges.


Trim off a little piece of the smaller edge, on the inside, so that it will fold flat. -see pic





Fold card over in the middle following middle score line and adhere your edges, it takes just a bit to line them up correctly, this is your opening :)

Take a 1 inch circle punch and cut your edge! This is where you would pull out your gift card.(for me it works through 2 layers-but do as you usually do-you can punch the circles before you put the piece together-but it might be hard to line them up)


For my tag-I used my circle punch-but you can use your tag punch too. I just line them up and punch the half circle off. Sometimes i do have to trim the edges a bit.
Now you can decorate your card anyway you would like. To add the ribbons, I punched a few holes in the tag(not through the cardholder) before I stuck it down.Thanks for stopping by :)
