Some people like giving gift cards, some people don’t. Some people like receiving gift cards, some people don’t.
I kind of like giving and receiving gift cards. At least with a gift card you can’t buy the wrong thing or get the gift in the wrong size or color. The recipient can get exactly what they want. As the recipient of a gift card I can get exactly what I want. I especially love gift cards for e-books!
If you like to give gift cards then you really must have an attractive gift card holder, right? I got the idea for this gift card holder online from another talented demonstrator. I love when those talented stampers share their ideas! 🙂
This gift card holder starts with a Sketched Dot Tag a Bag. Simple! Just score and fold and you have two pockets. One pocket for the gift card and one pocket for a little card to put your sentiment on.
To begin with, score your bag at 3″. With the bag in front of you fold the bottom edge up along the score line. You don’t need to use adhesive to adhere the bottom portion of the bag to the top to form your front pocket. Your decorated belly band holds the bag together.
The sentiment card for the back pocket is 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. I decorated the top corners of mine with the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch. The other piece of card stock for the front pocket is 5 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. Score at 3 3/8″ to from the pocket. You will need to use adhesive on the edges of this to form the pocket.
This gift card holder is pretty quick and easy to make depending on how fancy you get with your belly band. I’ll probably be making a few more before Christmas arrives!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
