Step One

Cut a piece of cardstock to 7 ¾” x 5”. Score at 2 ½” x 6”. This will create the base of your gift card holder.

Step Two

Cut two pieces of patterned paper 4 ¾” x 2 ¼” & 4 ¾” x 1 ½”. The 4 ¾” x 2 ¼” piece will matt onto the bottom of your card and the 4 ¾” x 1 ½”piece will matt onto the outer top flap.

Step Three

Stamp a sentiment onto a piece of white card which is 4 ¾” x 1 ½”. Using double sided tape stick onto the inner top flap.

Step Four

Run some double sided tape along each side of the bottom front and stick down to create your gift card pocket.

Step Five

Should you want to create a finger slot to make getting the gift card out easier, use a circle punch to cut out a semi circular slot.

Step Six

To make a band, cut a piece of matching cardstock 1”x8” and score at 6 1/8” x 2 ½”. Pop some glue or tape on the end to secure your band.

Step Seven

Use a stamp or topper from your craft stash to attach to the band to create a focal point on your gift card holder.
