Yep.. I'm back to stamping!! The house is 95% settled and back in place, so now it's back to stampin'! Sorry for that minor GLITCH in my sharing over the past 3 or 4 weeks!
Here is a fun and easy Gift Card Holder we are doing in class tonight! I got the idea from my upline, Sandy. Her version is below (in red).
Here is a close up of the center that holds the gift card:
And here is how you make it:
- Cut cardstock to 4-1/4"x11"
- Score at 3", 5-1/2" and 8"
- Fold in 1/2 and then fold the outside flaps backwards in toward the center.
Apply Sticky strip as shown, and then use the 1/2" circle punch and the Word Window Punch to create the slit and notch for the gift card to fit into.
Tip: stamp before folding it and assembling it.
Here is the one I received from Sandy.. very cute!:
More sharing later.. class starts in 20 minutes!
Have a great evening!
