 This is an envelope that I completely sealed.
I folded in in half.
And then trimmed (through all layers) both ends off- forming 2 pockets.
 
I cut a piece of Old Olive card stock- 4 3/4 x 8"- 
score at 3" & 6".
Now add adhesive to one side of the envelope pocket & adhere it to the center of  this card.
Then add adhesive to the top side of the envelope pocket & shut the top flap to glue it down.
This is to form your pockets!
 This is what it looks like!
 Look out how I decorated the front & under the front flap too!
And I added a little note in one pocket & then your "gift" card be put into the other pocket.
 So what do you think?

Stampin' Up! Tag Buffet Gift card holder

Wow- look at my Day #7 project!!
I love it!  
And I hope you do too!
This is another totally Susie project. 
It is made with an envelope!!

  I will be sharing some holiday Crafting fun and create projects that will bring JOY to you 
and other is upcoming Christmas season! 
 
 You can add a gift card, cash, chocolate or any other little gift inside of it!
 
You can check out my other gift projects by clicking below.
Day #4- Click here to see it!

A few years ago I made another project similar to this one if you want to check it out- CLICK HERE to see how to make this envelope pocket gift card! 

 Here are the pieces I used in creating this fun gift holder!
 
Read below to see how I made this!
 This is an envelope.  
#107301= $7.50 (40)- pg. 153 Annual Catalog.
I folded the envelope in half like a book. 
And used my bone fold to make sure to crease it well.
I then took a 12" piece of ribbon & rapped around it, securing it on the front side (as shown) with a little piece of Tea & Tape.
(I did not secure the back side of it.)
 This is what it looks liked opened up. 
Notice how I cut the envelope flap on the center fold.
I then sealed the left hand side shut.
NOTE:  Be sure you do NOT seal the right had side.
You want to keep the right hand side so that it could be opened up.
This is what it looks like when the flap is up.
See how you can add money, gift card, gift, etc....
 
Be sure you leave me a comment below & let me know what you think!
