Things I Love


Outside of Gift Card Holder

Inside of Gift Card Holder

We made this fun gift card holder at my first two demonstrations with the Things I Love stamp set. They were a big hit, and pretty easy to make! Here is how you do it!

1. Cut one piece of pixie pink 8 1/2 x 11 paper in half length wise.

2. Use your scoring blade on your Stampin' Up cutter to make a line to fold right across the center.

3. Then make a scoring fold 3 inches in from the top and bottom.

4. Fold at lines so it looks like the letter M.

5. Use sticky strip to adhere the top points of the M together. You will then have a shorter middle with a longer front and back flap.

6. You then take the word window punch, line it up with the edge of the middle flap and punch halfway up it, then line it up with the other end of the middle flap and punch again.

7. Take the small circle punch and punch half way up where the 2 word window punches meet in the middle. This makes the gift card easily accessible for the recipient.

8. Use the Things I Love Stamp Set and stamp on whisper white paper using pixie pink and Bermuda Bay inks. Adhere to the outside front of your card as pictured.

9. Finally tie with Bermuda Bay ribbon!

The inside also leaves room for a personal note from you to the recipient! What a great idea for teacher appreciation week coming up in May!
