Stampin' Up! 'Wrapped in Christmas gift pouch

 WOO HOOO!

I will be sharing some holiday Crafting fun and create projects that will bring JOY to you and others this upcoming Christmas season!  

So today's project is Day #2 & I have another cool gift holder/pouch for you!! 

You can CLICK HERE TO SEE my Day #1 project!

You can add a gift card, cash, chocolate or any other little gift inside of it! 

 

This is called a diaper fold pouch.

It is made using a 6x6" piece of designer paper.

And if you have stamped with me over the years, you know I love this fold & 

have done many projects using this diaper fold over the years!

 

Read on & I'll show you step-by-step photos on how you can make this!

 #1.- fold in half a 6x6" piece of DSP like this, forming a triangle.

#2.  I am a type A visual person as you know. 

So I wanted my pouch to be even.

I lined it up on my grid paper- from the 0 to 8 1/2" line on the ruler.

I then folded down the front, top point to the bottom- at the 4 1/4" center mark.

 #3. You want to fold the 2 pointed ends inward.  

I marked black lines with my pen above, 

so that you can see where you fold them in at.

You want to fold them starting at the outside points.

 #4.  I folded the right one in like this.

 #5.  I folded in the left side like this.

Be sure you use your bone folder to get crisp edges!

 #6.  I put a little seal plus on the top flap & pressed it down.

 #7.  This is what it looks like when the top flap is taped down.

And then I decorated it!

I added the words layered like this.

1 1/2" Circle Punch; 2" Circle Punch & 2 1/4" Circle Punch.

 #8.  I punched out a 1 1/2" Circle, folded it in half 

& adhered it to the top of my inside insert.

My inside piece is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4"- 

score at 1" along bottom edge to hold gift card.

#9.  It is complete!!

See how the gift card sits inside the slider 

& goes directly down into the pouch!

 This is what it looks like with the note/card holder/gift card pulled out!
