This card is going horizontally & that one was a vertical card layout.

Check out the inside of the card.

Look how I used the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch as a "gift card slot".

NOTE:  

Be sure that you do NOT put adhesive around the punched out part, just add 

adhesive to the outside edges of this 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock.

I just slid the punch all the way in from the center/bottom 

of the cardstock edge & punch it!

See how you can just slide the gift card down into this punched out slot.
