Gift Card Holder - November 2024 Card Kit
Christmas is quickly approaching!
Jana here with you and today we are going to make a gift card holder using the November 2024 Card kit.
Last time I was here on the blog we made Christmas Cards. Now we are going to use up what is left of the card kit - or try to at least! There is a lot in that kit!
Sometimes a gift card is just the perfect gift for that 'hard to buy for' person or a stocking stuffer. Maybe you need to send a gift in the mail, and it is easy to mail a gift card, and more affordable, too.
Let's start with base. I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". If you wanted this to be a card that opens, then you would cut a card base at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". I also cut my patterned paper to 4" x 5 1/4".
Next we will cut our fold out (z-fold) layer. You will need a piece at 9 3/4" x 4 1/2". You will score at 3 1/4" and then flip and rotate and score at 3 1/4". You will end up with a mountain fold and a valley fold.
The layers for the patterned paper will be cut at 3" x 4 1/4". The third spot is where out gift card will slide into and it is cut the same, just angled off.
I also embellished with some of the ephemera die cuts that are included in the card kit.
I did add some jute twine behind the z-fold layer so I could tie it shut. Below you will find a video of the creation of this beautiful gift card holder.
Cutting List:
Base (main card):
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" - solid card stock
4" x 5 1/4” - Patterned paper
Fold Out:
Base 9 ¾” x 4 1/2 ” - Solid coordinating card stock
Score at 3 ¼” and then flip/rotate and score at 3 ¼”. You will have a mountain fold and a valley fold.
Layers 4 1/4” x 3” - Patterned paper
I really hope this project inspires you to dress up the way you give gift cards! Make sure to check out the Mood Board Challenge below. Also, if you are interested in joining the Tres Jolie Kit Club - there is a Scrapbooking Kit, a Card Kit, and a Mixed Media kit you can choose from.
Blessings!
