Modified Gift Card Holder

The other day I was on Angie's Chic N'Scratch website. I saw that she had made a gift card holder. I loved it so I tried it. I made it for my Stampin' Up card class and it was a hit among my card swappers. Well, today I needed to make a gift card holder for a friend and his birthday. So, I got an idea in my head and went with it. I am really excited as to how it turned out. I am attaching the pictures and then I am going to put the directions to the card. I hope that you enjoy.


This is the base card. It is cut at 6"x8" and scored at 4".


Here is the card folded.


Designer Paper was cut at 3 3/4"x 5 3/4".


This is a 3 5/8 x 6 1/2".


Seal the envelope.


Cut in half. You will be able to make 2 gift card holders when you are finished.


Use adhesive and glue all of the sides and middle. Place the envelop anywhere you would like in the card. I chose to put it on the left side of the card. Stamp the saying of your choice. I used the Stampin' UP Happy Birthday from Family Phrases.


This is the retired Stampin' Up image called Boat Loads of Love. I love this set. The white cardstock was cut at 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".
