I love making gift card holders – they’re so much nicer than using plain ‘ole holders from the store (and some don’t even come with a holder). I think you’re going to really enjoy today’s tutorial & that it’s going to come in handy-dandy for your gift-card giving this year!

Instructions:
-
Emboss
the card base using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder. -
Fold
up the lower half of the designer paper so the opposite pattern is
showing to create a pocket. Use the 1” Circle Punch to make a
notch in the center of the designer paper. Adhere the pocket closed
using Tear & Tape. -
Adhere
the designer paper to the front and inside base of the cardstock as
shown. -
Punch
a 2 ¼” circle using Pretty Peacock cardstock. Emboss using the
Tufted 3D Embossing Folder. -
Die
cut a slightly larger circle than the Pretty Peacock cardstock using
the Copper Foil Sheet and the Layering Circles Dies. Adhere it to
the Pretty Peacock cardstock. Adhere these layers to the left side
of the designer paper using Dimensionals. -
Lightly
rub the Very Vanilla scrap cardstock with the Embossing Buddy. Stamp
the ornament image using Versamark in on Thick Very Vanilla scrap
cardstock. Immediately cover with copper embossing powder and heat
set. Punch the ornament out using the coordinating punch.
-
Using
the Aqua Painter and Pretty Peacock ink, color in the ornament.
Color in the topper of the ornament using Night of Navy ink. Ink
will resist where there is heat embossing so after the cardstock has
dried, blog the image using a clean, dry cloth to remove the
water/ink from the copper embossed lines. Adhere the ornament to the
center of the circle layers using a combination of Dimensionals and
Mini Dimensionals.
-
Stamp
the greeting using Night of Navy ink on Thick Very Vanilla scrap
cardstock. Cut around the perimeter of the greeting using your
scissors. Adhere the greeting, overlapping the ornament as shown,
using Mini Dimensionals. -
Insert
the gift card inside the pocket on the inside of the card.
Enjoy the day & HAPPY STAMPING!
So so beautiful on the outside. Nice way to enclose a gift card. I'm always looking for ways to do something festive for gift cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
