Warmth and Cheer projects continue... love this paper! This is a fun fast gift card hold that uses the new 3D cable knit embossing folder.
Take
a Kraft bag (at 10 for $3.50 it’s a deal), cut the end off so the bag is open
at the bottom end. I cut off about 1/4".
Turn
the bag over so the seam is facing up and with the seam “up”, place inside the
cable knit folder so the bag is ¾ of the way into the folder (make sure the
bottom is inside the folder). Be sure to
have the logos facing up (with the seam facing up). And it’s a super thick 3D folder so use just
1 cutting pad.
Turn
the bag up with the end about 1/4 to 1” below the top. Secure the sides with tear n tape. Put the tear n tape right at the edge so you
have room for the gift card.
Back
to the bag itself. Create a belly band
from ¾" x 6" x 2 strips. Glue the 2 strips
together. Hide the front closure with a
Christmas tree (tree punch? Peaceful Pines.. they all work, you are sure to have something in your stash!
Make sure the belly is
not too tight or too loose. Now
you have a front pocket to put in a gift card.
Now
create the flat card to fit in the top pocket.
I used Cherry Cobbler at 3 ½ x 4 ¼ with the white card at 2 ¾ x 3
1/2 I adhered a Christmas tree (you can
use a punch or a die) so it’s a cute notecard. I did stamp on it...but didn't take a photo with my greeting. Oops. Just about any greeting will work great.
I
really love this paper, so fresh, sort of “modern organic”, love the
plaid. Love how it all coordinates.
And of course being from Maine, I put in a Reny's gift card (if you're not from Maine this is quirky discount department store that has everything :) love it..
happy crafting, MaryKate
