Twisted Gift Card Holder / Handmade Gift Card Holder Tutorial

Here is a Gift Card Holder I created some days back and they were so easy to make. The base of the holder is Black card stock layered with pattern papers. The beautiful PP's on the front are from My Cubby Craft's Candy. These PP's came along with some awesome selection of goodies. Thanks a lot Jennifer.

Here is the mini tutorial,

Cut cardstock 41/4" X 8". Score it diagonally and crease the fold.

 Turn the cardstock. Score at the center and fold. That's it. Decorate with patterned paper ( Reduce the pattern paper size by 1/8" and repeat the above steps).   

     

There are two pockets (front and inside)  to hold the card. Inside PP's are from Colorbok. I have used a free Digi Sentiment from Birds Card. 

For embellishment, I used Docraft Xcut Border Punch, Martha Stewart lace scalloped heart punch, Petaloo Flower, Pearls and Rhinestones. Hope you liked it.

Handmade Gate Fold Greeting Card for Valentines Day

I made a gate fold valentine card this week. The size is 4.5" X 6.5". The base of the card is white card stock layered with black card stock and pattern papers.

Inside the card, I added a hand written sentiment and embellished with punched hearts. 

The hearts are punched out using a Martha Stewart lace scalloped heart punch. The pattern papers have a glitter accent which brings a glossy effect to the card. I used Linen Closet papers from DCWV and a Colorbok paper.

When the card is turned up, you can see a pocket inside to hold the photo.

The gate fold card has a simple band to hold the card closed. I embellished it with pearls and used a white gel pen to give a faux stitch effect.

 Here is the layout,

Basic layout : Take a 6.50" X 9" card stock. Score at 2.25" and 6.75 " and crease the fold.
  I hope you like my card. Thank you for your visit.
