I designed this cute little project after flipping through one of the fundraising gift wrap booklets my 3 year old little boy brought home…..Now, YES I did order a few items (my first year to be supportive) but I saw these "gift card" holders in it and thought I could come up with a much nicer version…..so off to the basement I went to create my prototype and here is what I came up with.

Step 1 – Cut cardstock 5 X 8 1/2  ( you can get 2 holders per piece of 8 1/2 X 11)

Step 2 – Using your Scor-Pal , Score at 3 1/2, 4 1/4, & 5

Step 3 – Fold the score lines as shown

Step 4 – place the fold side along the longest side of the Top Note die

Step 5 – Be sure to place the folded edge just inside the perforated lines

Step 6 – Run the die through your die cutting machine

Step 7 – Use the gift card to make tiny marks and with a cutting knife, slice the center fold line from one mark to the other

Step 8 – place one strip of sticky strip on the BACK side of the folder on the outermost edge.

Step 9 – Seal the back fold together and ensure your card will fit

Step 10 – Decorate the front

Step 11 – Add velcro tabs to the inside at the points

Step 12 – Don’t forget to decorate your envelope too!!  ( SU’s gift card sized envelope shown here)

These were the cute little Halloween gift ideas my Stamp Club Members made at tonight’s meeting.  The cute little spiders were found on Splitcoast by Julie Case. The sweet little Top Note treat box tutorial can be found on Angie Tieman’s Blog. The treat bag topper uses my new favourite Sizzix die….the TOP NOTE!.

Have fun and Happy Halloween !!!

Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that will be included in the Christmas (WCMD) Stamp-a-Stack I am doing both Friday night and Saturday.  Thank You Heather for this VERY easy version of the popular shaker card that everyone loves.  I have also used the new Top Note Sizzix die that everyone is talking about.  The stamps are from the Snow Swirled set ( my new favourite!).  If you would like to order these for your 2008 custom made Christmas cards, please contact me by October 17th to ensure they are ready for you to mail on Dec 1st.
