All Is Bright Pull-Up Gift Card Holders
I love to dress up the gift cards I'm giving for Christmas with a fun little gift card holder. Today's holders have a pull-up feature that is just Too Cool! They were a big hit at my Craft Fairs!
Background Basics—The base of the gift card holder begins with a 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, scored at the 3-1/2" and 7" marks. I added a 4" x 3-1/4" piece of the retiring All Is Bright Designer Series Paper on the top panel and a 4" x 1-3/4" piece of DSP on the bottom panel.
Gift Card Pocket—The bottom panel will create a pocket for the gift card, but no adhesive is used to create it. Instead, I wrapped some Very Vanilla Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the card and tied it into a double-knot to keep it closed.
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Peaceful Noel sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto a 2-1/8" Whisper White circle cut with Layering Circles Framelits. It's popped up onto a Gold Glimmer scallop circle with Dimensionals and layered onto a Cherry Cobbler scallop circle, both also cut with the same framelits. Before adhering to the card front, I added a couple of Vellum leaves punched with the Sprig Punch.
Gift Card Holder—When you open the card, you can see the gift card tucked inside the bottom pocket. Just a little of the inside sentiment is peeking out.
As you continue to pull up, the pocket slides up, revealing the full sentiment! I learned about this clever gift card design from my friend Sandy Carlson.
Inside Greeting—I stamped the Merry Christmas To All greeting on the pocket front in Shaded Spruce. The Shaded Spruce pine images and Cherry Cobbler berries are from the Peaceful Noel stamp set. I stamped off once for the pines.
Inside Card Slider Pocket—The inside pocket starts with a 3-3/4" x 7" piece of Whisper White cardstock, scored at the 1/2" and 5" marks. The 1/2" panel is folded back and secured to the card front with Tear & Tape, right along the score line. The lower panel folds up to become the gift card holder pocket, and it's tucked inside the card base pocket without any adhesive, so it can move freely.
Two Cool—My second gift card holder begins with a Shaded Spruce card base. I added coordinating All Is Bright DSP to the front and tied the bottom with the retiring Real Red Mixed Satin Ribbon.
I added a 4" x 1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper to the bottom for some extra sparkle.
Sweet Sentiment—I stamped another Peaceful Noel greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the circle and layered it onto Silver Glimmer and Shaded Spruce scallop circles.
Inside—I stamped the Peaceful Noel greeting on the inside in Cherry Cobbler ink.
