Tutorial for Gift Card Holders
I've had lots of requests for directions on how
to make the gift card holder that I posted a bit ago.
So here it is. These are quite simple to make.
First you start with a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock.
You score it at 3" from both ends (the long way
Next you score half way between those two scored lines which is
about 2 1/2". I have the Score-it and I can visually see what is exactly
the middle by the measurements at the top. I like that option because
even though you think you have the correct measurements, they can still
be a bit off once you start scoring. Once you get your third line scored,
fold along your scored lines.
Put adhesive on as pictured. Be sure to stay close to the edge
because your gift card will go in this section. If you seal the whole
thing up, you won't be able to get your gift card in it!
This is what it will look like once you adhere it.
Use your large oval punch and punch only about1/3 to 1/2 of it.
This step is just so the recipient can grip their gift card to pull it out.

Next cut of just a small amount on your cutter.
You are cutting the fold right off so you can insert your
gift card. I cut about 1/16" of an inch off.
Here you are! You have the basics done. Now all you have
to do is the fun part. Embelish and decorate it any way that
you want. I like to make a belly band around it. I cut about
an inch of cardstock and wrap it around the whole gift card
holder and cut off any excess. You can stamp it, tie ribbon
around it, or anything you want to create a fun gift!
