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!

Stampin' Up! Bow Builder Punch!

For the next week I want to make some holiday Crafting fun and create projects that will bring JOY to you and others this upcoming Christmas season!  

So today's project is a cool gift holder/pouch!

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

   This is my little 'present' envelope pouch gift holder!

*Be sure you leave me a comment below, 

as I'll be mailing this project out to one lucky person!

 Keep reading & check out my step by step tutorial below, 

as I share with you today's envelope pouch gift holder!

 1.  Lick & seal a medium envelope.

Yes- this is just an envelope!

Whisper White Envelope- #107301 for 40= $7.50, page 153 in the Annual Catalog.

 2.  Cut off 1 1/2" from one end of the sealed envelope.

This forms the lid to the present & the bottom pouch to the present!

3.  Emboss the bottom part of your pouch, using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.

This is what the envelope looks like now from the back side.

The top part is the lid & the embossed bottom part is your pouch.

 4.  Slide the Label Me Fancy Punch into the pouch 

& punch a little off the very top edge- like this.

 5.  Make a tab with the Label Me Fancy Punch & Real Red card stock.

Fold the tab in half & set this aside for now.

 6.  For the top lid of your present, adhere a 1 1/2 x 4 3/8" piece of designer paper to it.

 7.  Now make your inside slider pocket.

You'll need a piece of Whisper White card stock that measures 

4 x 5 1/2"- score at 1 1/4" & fold up to make the slider pocket.

 8.  Slide the pocket down into the pouch.

It is now time to add your red tab, using Seal Adhesive- like this!

 9.  This is what your pocket will look like when it is pulled out of the pouch.

See how you can add your gift card, cash, chocolate or little gift here!

10.  I used the Gift Wrapped stamp set & coordinating Bow Builder Punch 

to add this bow to the lid of my present. 

It is now complete!

 These are the 3 pieces that you now have for your gift "envelope" pouch!

 Check out how the pocket slides down into the envelope pouch 

& then you just put the lid onto it!

 So what do you think?

I think this turned out pretty cute!

And who wouldn't love getting this as a gift from you this upcoming Holiday Season!

Let's FLOOD our world with our homemade projects and goodness this year!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!
Happy Stamping!
