Welcome to the Pals Fun Folds Blog Hop! We hope you enjoy the inspiration we have for you. You will find the lineup to the other great fun fold stampers at the bottom of my post.
For today’s “fun fold,” I wanted to share my favorite gift card holder for springtime gifts. It’s good to have gift card holders on hand, no matter what time of year. Right?
Springtime Gift Card Holder
First, I chose Soft Succulent Cardstock for the card base, and cut a piece that is 7 3/4″ X 5″. Then, I scored it at 6″ and 2 1/2″.
Second, I cut the band 7 3/4″ X 1″, and scored it at 6 1/8″ and 2 1/2″. You want that extra 1/8 inch on the scoring, so the band will slide off and on easily.
To decorate the gift card holder, I cut two pieces of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper: The bottom front is 4 3/4″ X 2 1/4″. The top front is 4 3/4″ X 1 1/2″.
I used the smallest Layering Circles Die to make a finger slot in the middle of the bottom front, then glued the right and left, inside edges, sealing the pocket.
Next, I cut one piece of Basic White Cardstock for the sentiment on the inside, 4 3/4″ X 1 1/2″.
The band is decorated with gingham from Pansy Petals Designer Paper, and a cute chick from the Easter Friends Stamp Set.
The chick was stamped in Mango Melody Ink on Basic White Cardstock, colored with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend, and cut with scissors.
I glued the band with the raw edge in front, and covered with the chick, which I attached with Dimensionals.
