Gift Card Box 2

Here it is! A really cool "pop-up" gift card holder in a box! I came up with this while playing around last week.

Here's the top view. I used the Hemingway cardstock collection from The Angel Company for this project.

The sentiment is from a retired greetings set from TAC. I also added a Bazzill Bitty Blossom, and as you can see - the Martha Stewart Branch punch which I love! (I realize I kept calling it the fern punch last week, sorry!)


Here's the side view, nothing fancy here.


Here's where the party starts! When you remove the lid, this pops up. This sentiment is from the TAC stamp set "Blessings".


Here's what happens when you pull it up. The gift card is in the middle section.


And here's the bottom, which is adhered to the inside of the box. I used the TAC Simple-bet stamp set to make this sentiment.

Here are some brief instructions:

Box Bottom
Cut cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Score at 3/4" on each side. Cut once at each corner, adhering tabs on the inside.

Lid
Cut cardstock 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". Score at 1/2" on each side. Cut once at each corner, adhering tabs on the inside.

Insert
Cut cardstock to 3 3/4" x 7 1/2". Score at 2 1/2" and 5", folding accordian style. Embellish as desired. Make tabs on the middle section to hold the gift card. It's not really wide enough to use the SU! Slit Punch here so I punched a 1" circle and folded them in half for each end. Then I added 1/2 of a glue dot behind the front of the circle and this holds the gift card in place. The glue dot will easily rub off of the gift card's slick surface later. But for now, it will not slide down when I pull the insert up out of the box. The third section will be adhered to the inside of the box bottom.

Thanks for stopping by, Tootles!



If you make one of these, be sure to come back and add your link to the list below! I'd love to see it!

Gift Card Holder

What seems like a long time ago, I made a tutorial for the pocket cards that you can very easily make from one sheet of 8" x 8" paper. Here's an example of one of those cards:

(This paper is called Rustic Chic from The Angel Company - LOVE it!)

So I decided to BAM, kick it up a notch! And came up with this really cute gift card holder:

This is more of that paper from My Mind's Eye, the Festive & Frost glitter stack. And I TOLD you I was addicted to that fern punch by Martha Stewart! The little sentiment is from Tag Tidbits by TAC.

Oh, and I added ribbon at the top so this could be hung on the tree like an ornament, similar to another recent gift card holder I've shown you!

Here's another view.

And below is my tutorial from a long time ago. You can of course decorate and embellish the pocket card to meet your needs.

I hope this works! First time I've tried it like this. But if you click on the picture, it should enlarge and hopefully you can print it! Let me know how it goes!

Look at my post for November 23rd for a chance to win a blog treat!

Listen, have a great day!

Christmas Card Blitz 11

Here is a tutorial for a gift card holder that I did with my hostess club ladies. You can find all kinds of tutorials for this on various blogs and websites, but I'll share mine anyway. It's a very simple version.



To make the focal image on the front, I used these supplies. The stamp is "Ornamental Joy" from The Angel Company which I stamped with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink. I then heat embossed it with Sparkle powder.

Now, there's the rest:

Supplies:
4 1/2” x 10” cardstock (I used green)
3” x 4” cardstock (I used red)
2 1/2” x 3 1/2” cardstock (white)
Scor-Pal
Coluzzle cutting system with Nested Ovals template
Ruler & pencil
Adhesive
Stamps, ink, ribbon, eyelets, etc.

Directions:
1. With the long side across the top of the Scor-Pal, score green cardstock at 3 1/2” and 6 1/2”. Flip cardstock over, top to bottom, and score down the center at 5”.

2. Fold on the score lines as valley, mountain, valley. The cardstock should resemble a “W” now.


3. Fold cardstock in half, on the center score line. Using a pencil, make a mark at 1/2” from top and bottom on the center fold.


4. Place the Coluzzle Nested Ovals template over the fold so that the largest groove lines up with each pencil mark. You will cut through two layers and of course will have to snip it with scissors in the middle.


This is what it should look like now.


5. Open card up and place a very THIN line of adhesive along the first score line and top and bottom edges. DO NOT glue where you just cut the oval. You need to leave it open to insert the gift card here. Now, fold card in back half again, adhering this section together around the straight edge.


6. Insert credit card sized gift card in oval notch opening.

Embellish as desired and there ya have it - a cute little gift card holder!

Make it a great week! Tootles!
