Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break.... I did with friends and their kids... made some kid crafts all week....It was fun. But its time I get back to regular things now. =) With Xmas season around the corned, I need to start my box of Xmas cards to send to friends and family. While going through ideas, I found this one All in one gift card holder by Kelly Gettlefinger at Always Stampin' -some nice ideas, wonderful video tutorials that you can subscribe to on youtube.com. So I love this gift card holder... its 3-fold and very different.
So after watching the wonderful tutorial..I had to make one of these...Perfect for Xmas giving this time =) So here is the link to the tutorial ALL IN ONE GIFT CARD
Here is my version:
View of the inside:
The right most flap is where you can insert the gift card =) I use patterned paper to decorate the small flap that holds the gift card, but you could stamp a greeting there.
Another idea-- instead of a patterned paper in the middle you could glue a cardstock and write personal message for the receiver of the gift card. You can also decorate the front--since the patterned paper I used on my belly band had "Ho Ho" on it... I did not want to put anything.
One thing I realized-- I used bulky patterned paper...these are sort of raised (due to the embossing) so after folding and tucking the belly band, it becomes a little thick.
I also made a template for myself... wrote the measurements... that ways all I have to do is look at the template and I can recreate the wonderful gift card holder ;)
More holiday stuff to come...
Until next time,
Happy Krafting,
Cheers =)
