Here's a quick and fun gift card holder that I found and had to try out immediately!
It's a little folder with a cute snowman belly band. I found it on Diana Gibbs' Stampin' With Di blog.
Once you take the belly band off, you open it up and can put a greeting inside, just like a card.
But, inside the card, there are these little pockets created from a standard A2 envelope.
And, inside the pockets are two cool tabs: one for a message and one for holding a gift card.
How clever is that?! I love it!
I'm going to put all the measurements and instructions here, but Diana also has a lovely video tuturial to show you how it's put together: Snow Much Fun Gift Card Holder.
Gift Card Holder Folder How-Tos
- Start with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" sheet of card stock.
- Along the long side, score at 2-1/2" and 5-1/2" marks.
- Decorate the front and inside the way you want it before adhering the envelope pockets.
Envelope Pockets How-Tos
The pockets are created with a medium envelope (A2).
- Add some SNAIL to the inside edges of the flap, and seal it completely shut.
- Trim 3/8" off of each side of the envelope.
