It is only a few days away.

So last night I made this quick gift card holder to share with you-

just in case you needed to make one for a last minute gift!

I used thee Deer Builder Punch, along with the Sweet Stockings DSP!

 

I made this so that the top DSP flap would latch underneath the right edge of the circle!

Noticed how I used the Basic Borders Dies to make the top edge a little shorter.

This is what it looks like opened up.

See how I made the pocket to slide the gift card/or cash into!

NOTE:  When adhering this pocket to the card base, just make sure that you

only use adhesive long the 3 edges.

This is the pattern that I used for the DSP pocket.

It is 4 x 4 1/4"- scored at 2" along the 4" side.

I then did a partial punch out using the Everyday Label Punch.

I adhered the DSP pocket to the INSIDE of the card edge.
