Hi Stamping Friends! 

Remember that fun Magnificent Maple File Folder cards created with the Envelope Punch Board that I shared last month?  Today, I'm using that same technique to make a mini version of the file folder that is the perfect size for holding gift cards!

CASEd from Tara Bazata at Ink & Paper Café.

Oh! I think this is just adorable!  Don't you agree?  I've decorated it with Winter Frost Designer Serieis Paper for the pretty contrasting patterns.

I wrapped it with White Taffeta Ribbon, then added a Tags 4 You holiday sentiment in Basic Gray.  The image is punched with the coordinating Label Bracket Punch, then layered with another punch in Silver Glimmer Paper.  That sparkly layer was cut in half and repositioned to peek out from under the top label.  Rhinestone Jewels give the finishing touches.

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Tags 4 You stamp set and Label Bracket Punch together in the Tags 4 You Bundle (wood) and save 15%.

The file folder tab has a Whisper White Little Labels punch-out that's stamped with a word from Fabulous Phrases in Island Indigo.

Mini File Folder Gift Card Holder Instructions

• Start with a 4" x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock.
• Score along the 5" side at the 2-3/4" mark.
• Fold in half.  Add a 4" x 2-3/4" piece of designer paper to the inside back. Trim if necessary.

• Add a 4" x 2-1/4" piece of designer paper to the front of the folder.  Trim if necessary.

See more visuals on punching the tabs at my original File Folder card post.

• Align the left side of the folder front under the Envelope Punch Board punch flush with the left side of the opening in the front of the punch. Punch!
• Slide the edge over to the 2" mark and punch again.

• Rotate the card 180° and repeat to make a tab on the back of the folder.

• Trim off the extra tab with your Stampin' Trimmer.

• Open the folder and add Sticky Strip to the inside front (smaller side).  There's not much room for the gift card in this folder, so be sure to make the Sticky Strip flush with the edges. No room to spare!

My second version features the Season of Style Designer Series Paper.  I flipped the tabs to the opposite sides, too!  I think I like them on this side better! 

The card is tied with Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.  Then, I decorated it with an image from Label Love, colored with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler markers.  It's punched with the coordinating Artisan Label Punch, and layered on another Baked Brown Sugar punch.  I love the Pearl Jewels on this one!

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Label Love stamp set and Artisan Label Punch together in the Label Love Bundle (wood) and save 15%.

The Fabulous Phrase word was a little long for the Little Labels punch, so I double punched it with the longer Word Window Punch to customize it's length. 

Bonus!  These Mini File Folder Gift Card Holders fit inside the White Note Card Envelopes or Crumb Cake Note Card Envelopes!
