Gift Card Holder - a Tutorial

Hi there! Some of you have asked me for a tutorial on my little gift card holder so here it is. I hope it all makes sense. Please don't hesitate to ask if something is not quite clear.

This gift card holder is inspired by a gift card holder tutorial I found at SCS and a gift box tutorial at the Cat's Pajamas.

You need:

1 - 9.5" x 3.25" card stock (gift card holder)

1 - 7.5" x 3.75" card stock (little envelope inside the gift card holder)

1 - 3.25" x 2.5" card stock (insert to little envelope that holds the gift card)

1 - circle with 3.25 diameter (I used 2nd largest of Nesties Standard Circles Large)

3 - smaller circles

Red Sticky Tape

Score Board

Velcro Dots

Circle Punches or Nesties

Step 1:

take your 9.5" x 3.25" card stock and score it at 4.25", 4.5", 8.75" and 9".

Step 2:

take your 7.5" x 3.75" card stock and score it at 3.75" (as shown here).

Step 3:

Flip your 7.5" x 3.75" card stock over and score it at 0.5" and 3.25" as shown.

Step 4:

Trim your 7.5" x 3.75" card stock as shown in the picture here, leaving two

flaps. Use a small circle punch to punch out a half circle to the card stock side that does not have any flaps. Add red sticky tape to the flaps and put it all together.

Step 5:

This is what it should look like.

Step 6:

The 3.25" x 2.5" card stock is the little insert to the small envelope we just made and will hold the actual gift card.

You need 3 larger circles. Fold two of them over and attach 2 red sticky tape strips as shown in the photo and only 1 red sticky tape strip to the bottom half of the 3rd circle.
Peel off the sticky tape of the 2 circles and fold them over the insert card stock as you can see below.

Attach the 3rd circle to the back of the insert card stock - it will be the tab with which you can pull your gift card out of the little en

velope.

You should end up with something that looks like this:

Step 7:

Put the insert into the little envelope. Attach red sticky tape to the back of the little envelope and stick it inside your gift card holder (9.5" x 3.25" card stock piece). I recommend attaching your little envelope to the panel that is next to the small 0.5" flap on your gift card holder.

Step 8:

take your 3.25" diameter circle and score it at 1.75" x 2". Apply red sticky tape to the bottom half of the circle and attach it to the back and 0.5" part of your gift card holder as shown.

Step 9:

Embellish your gift card holder as you'd like. The finished size of your gift card holder is 3.25" x 4.25".

For this gift card holder I used Digi Papers from the Oh So Lucky Collection from Sweet Shoppe. The stamps are both from The Cat's Pajamas and I used foam board stickers from Michaels as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by and should you use my little tutorial please send me a link of your finished gift card holder. I'd loved to see what you come up with!!!
