Start with a piece of cardstock (plain or printed - but it must be cardstock weight). Using your envelope punch board punch and score at 3", turn paper clockwise, then punch and score at 2", repeat.

Turn your envelope punch board around & use the corner rounder provided & round all corners of your envelope.

Stamp your solid cardstock

Cut a white piece of cardstock for the message box at 2 x 3.5 inches. Decorate the inside of the envelope as desired. Fold the envelope closed.

Using Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits Dies cut 2 white swirls from White Glimmer Paper and one Snowflake from Silver Glimmer Paper. Cut a belly band from a piece of coordinating paper to match your background. The one shown is only decorated with the small star cluster from Still Night. Punch a navy piece of cardstock with the Everyday Label punch.

Fold the band around the folded envelope. Secure the band with a small piece of Tear-n-tape. Make sure to use a sturdy adhesive because this will be an active piece of the card. Only use adhesive on the part where the band touches itself - do not adhere it to the envelope. This is meant to be able to slide on and off.

Add the punched label to the belly ban making sure to only adhere the 2 items together & do not add adhesive where it will touch the envelope. Add the Glimmer paper accents & some rhinestones for extra bling!

Inspiration

This card was first presented to me by my good friend Shannon Cole ~ a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love the idea so much - I decided to see what other cards I could make with the stamp set & ultimately the pop up card holder design. Check out what else Shannon has to offer at creatingforgrace.com

Instructions - Top Fold Gift Card Holder

Card Base

• Cut base cardstock 4-1/4 x 11 inches
• Score at 2 and again at 7-1/2 inches
• Fold

Accent Pieces

• Cut accent paper - 2 pieces
• One 4 x 4 inches
• One 4 x 1-3/4 inches
• TIP: Be careful to mark the pieces if it is a pattern you would like to keep matched ~ I mark "bottom" on the pieces

Accent Pieces

• Adhere to cardstock
• TIP: The top of the 4 x 4 will hang over ~ make sure to not add adhesive to the very top of the accent piece
• TIP: If you are using a flimsier accent piece - you may want to double mat it on another piece of white or coordinating cardstock

Pocket

• Cut the inside gift card pocket 3 x 5-3/4
• Score at 1/2 and again at 4-1/4

Pocket

• Fold in a zig zag pattern with the larger fold patterns together
• Cut an additional piece of coordinating paper 3 x 1-1/2 inches

Pocket

• Using 1/4 inch Scor-Tape (or some other very strong adhesive) tape the bottom (larger) right & left edges together to create a pocket
• Add the accent piece you cut in the previous step
• This will not show, but in case someone totally disassembles the card - it will look pretty
• TIP: If you are using double sided paper - this will be created for you!

Pocket

• 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

Assemble

• Lay your pocket down centered (print 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

Assemble

• Tuck the pocket inside the bottom flap

Assemble

• Add ribbon to hold card closed
• TIP: Ribbon is not meant to be removed, I usually add a small glue dot to the ribbon once my design is finalized

Create

• Time to decorate!

Instructions - Tri-Fold Gift Card Holder

Belly Band

• Cut an additional piece of coordinating cardstock 3/4 x 11 inches
• NOTE: You could alternately cut one to go vertically across the card 3/4 x 8 inches - see examples near bottom

Accent Pieces

• Example uses 3 patterns & until you get a feel for the flip flop nature of the card - you may want to use the 3 different patterns on the same side as you are building the card
• Tip: You could use up to 5 patterns if desired
• Tip: Consider what will be on the front in case you really want to use one of the papers as an accent there - you may not want to use it on the two pieces that will be underneath when the belly band is closed
• Tip: Choose a light color for the inside middle section in case you want to write or add a stamped image - alternately, you could add an additional piece of white or beige cardstock on top of the print cut slightly smaller
