You Got This Card With Gift Card Holder
Step 1: Create the card base. Cut an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of White Solid Cardstock. Using the 12-inch Trimmer with the Scoring Blade, score along the long edge at 4-1/4″ and fold in half.
Step 2: Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of patchwork denim texture tonal tie-dye designer papers and adhere to the card front.
Step 3: Cut a 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ strip of both melon red and lemon yellow papers. Punch one end of each with the 3-in-1 Bevel Tag Punch. Adhere to the card at a slight angle.
Step 4: To make the Gift Card Holder:
- Cut a 5-1/2” x 4-1/2” piece of blue tie-dye designer paper. With the 12-inch Trimmer and the Scoring Blade, score the long side at 1/2″ and at 3″.
- Fold the paper to a 2-1/2″ width and punch the top.
- Open it up and place the middle of the tag punched edge and the 1/2″ edge at an angle on the cutting mat of the trimmer. Cut, leaving you with just the left-most edge with a tag punched edge.
- Run adhesive along the bottom and fold the piece up again. Run adhesive along the 1/2″ edge and fold around the back.
- Adhere gift card to the card.
Step 5: Cut a 4-1/2″ section of a border sticker and adhere to the card. Add additional stickers and embellishments.
