Christmas is a great time to give Gift Cards - and a hand made fancy card is the best way to dress up this gift.
the Front
This is an easy design which I modified to metric measurements for our Australian market. ( the Paper Pixie has US measurements for this design)
The inside
This is a picture heavy post to give you the instructions.
1. Score your cardstock at 6.5 and 14 cm, this gives a 6.5cm panel, which will fold to the inside and hold the gift card, a 7.5 cm panel which will be the card front, and a regular panel 10.5 x 14.5 for the inside panel where you will write your message.
2. cut your DSP strips as per the table above, and cut your cardstock pieces 10 x 14 for the writing panel inside, and 9 x 9 for the card front.
3. adhere the 2.5cm strip to the sentiment panel and adhere to the inside of the card.
.
4. on the card front adhere the two DSP panels as shown. ( 7cm DSP to 7.5cm panel, and 6cm DSP to 6.5cm panel)
5. using a label punch/ oval punch/ circle punch cut a small shape from the edge of the card where you will be able to see the gift card peeking out, and be easily able to remove it from the card. Fold this 6.5cm panel to the inside and adhere just along the top and bottom edge to create the pocket.
6. on the front of the card adhere the 9x9cm square and decorate as desired.
And here's a few more examples.
And here's a sample using Merriest Moments Stampset in completely non Christmas colours as an example of a birthday or other occasion card.
I really hope that you give this a try, it's super easy
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
