This gift card holder is standard A2 size and therefore fits in an invitation envelope perfect for Christmas gift giving.
The basic construction requires a 4.25 inch by 11 inch piece of colored cardstock and a 3.5 inch by 7 inch piece of white cardstock. The colored cardstock is scored at 2 inches and at 7.5 inches. The white cardstock is scored at .5 inch and at5 inches.
I then attached score tape as shown below and attached the white panel.
This created the popup pocket for the gift card. When closed, the gift card slides down into the bottom flap of the card.

ReplyDeleteGreat card Lynn, When I see skates it takes me back to my childhood and waiting for the pond to freeze over, shovel the pond and then get to skate for as long as we wanted... Great memories... Love the plaid....
