Instructions - Bottom Tab Gift Card Holder

Card Base

• Cut base cardstock 4-1/4 x 10-3/4 inches
• Score at 3-3/4 and again at 9 inches

Card Base - Top

• Place the larger scored section in an envelope punch board at 1 inch
• Punch

• Punch
• This creates the closure for the gift card holder

Card Base

• Fold
• You can either choose to close the gift card holder with the middle tab - or the 2 end ones
• I chose the middle for this example

Accent Pieces

Top Section

• Cut White 3-1/4 x 4 inches
• Cut Yellow 3 x 3-3/4 inches
• Cut White 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 inches

Bottom

• Cut White 1-1/2 x 4 inches

Side Closures

• If you would like you can cut 1-1/4 inch circles to secure the bottom section together
• Score them down the middle
• Adhere with Scor-Tape
• For a final example - see the pink card at the bottom

Attached Pocket

• Cut a coordinating piece of cardstock 3-7/8 x 6-1/4 inches
• Score at 1/2 and again at 4-3/4

Attached Pocket

• Place the larger scored section in an envelope punch board at 1 inch
• Punch
• Flip over & place it again at 1 inch
• Punch
• This creates decorated edge for the attached pocket

Attached Pocket

• Fold in a zig zag pattern
• Emboss the top & bottom separately - I did the card & the pocket
• TIP: Doing them separately will give you a same direction pattern
• TIP: Do the large one first - because when you run it through a second time - the large side gets smooshed & you will not see the smooshed side because it is inside of the pocket

Assemble

Card

• Using 1/4 inch Scor-Tape (or some other very strong adhesive) tape the smaller end - right & left edges together to create a pocket
• TIP: If you choose to add the circles on the outside instead - you do not need to perform this step

Pocket

• Using 1/4 inch Scor-Tape, tape the larger end - right & left edges together to create a pocket
• Secure
• On the small edge - run a piece of Scor-Tape along the crease
• TIP: Larger tape is fine - just make sure you are next to the crease - not the outside edge
• TIP: Place a piece of white on the pocket to allow for a stamped sentiment or a personal hand-written message

Assemble

• Lay your pocket down centered (tape side up), Scor-Tape showing (do not bend it) and snug up against the crease of the top fold
• Close the top flap
• The top fold will lay exactly on the tape causing the little pocket to lift when opened
• Tuck the pocket inside the bottom flap

Removable Pocket

Cut

• Cut a coordinating piece of cardstock 3-1/4 x 5-3/4 inches
• Score at 1-3/4

Punch

• Place the smaller scored section in an envelope punch board at 1 inch
• Flip over & place it again at 1 inch
• Punch
• This creates decorated edge for the removable pocket

Removable Pocket

Emboss

• Emboss the top & bottom separately - I did the card & the pocket
• TIP: Doing them separately will give you a same direction pattern
• TIP: Do the large one first - because when you run it through a second time - the large side gets smooshed & you will not see the smooshed side because it is inside of the pocket

Secure

• Using 1/4 inch Scor-Tape (or some other very strong adhesive) tape the smaller end right & left edges together to create a pocket

Removable Pocket

• Cut corners to create a tag with a decorative die or scissors
• TIP: Die is cut side up with only a portion of the paper under the cutting edge
• TIP: You may want to do this part before embossing the tag - the backside of the die smooshed part of the embossed area

Removable Pocket

• Staple /add ribbon to create a pull for the tag
• TIP: Place a piece of white on the card to allow for a stamped sentiment or a personal hand-written message
