Hey there, everyone! Nicole here to share a project with you today! It's that time of year- graduations, weddings, birthdays and family gatherings. Gift cards are a wonderful gift, but can always use a fun way to present them. Well, I have a great solution- create a fun and simple "Gift Card Gift." Here's a tutorial on how to make one!
First of all, gather your supplies:
Cardstock: One piece cut 4" by 8", One Piece cut 4 3/4" by 3 1/4", and one piece cut 3 3/4" by 1 1/2"
Patterned Paper: One piece cut 3 7/8" by 3 3/8" and One piece cut 3 5/8" by 5/8"
Adhesive, Score board and scoring tool, craft knife, ribbon, circle punch, pencil and scissors.
Now, score your 4"by 8" piece of cardstock at 4" horizontally and at 1/4" and 3 3/4" vertically.
Using your scissors, cut along the 1/4" and 3 3/4" score line up to the 4" horizontal score line and remove the pieces, as shown.
Now, fold the remaining scored sections and add adhesive to them.
Fold the bottom half of the cardstock to the top half. Crease along the 4" score line and adhere using the flaps created in the last step. You now should have a pocket as shown below.
Next, adhere your 3 7/8" by 3 3/8" piece of patterned paper to the front of your pocket.
Using adhesive, add a piece of ribbon along the center of the pocket tucking it inside at the top, and wrapping it to the back on the bottom.
Set your pocket aside, and score the 3 3/4" by 1 1/2" piece of cardstock at 3/4".
Put adhesive on both sides of the score line, fold over and ahdere to the top of the 4 3/4" by 3 1/4" piece of cardstock. This creates the slider that will slide in and out of your pocket.
Using your adhesive, wrap a small piece of ribbon around the 3 5/8" by 5/8" piece of patterned paper. Try to line it up with the ribbon on the pocket as shown.
Now, adhere the patterned paper to the top of the slider, as shown.
Now, it's time to add the gift card! Place your card where you would like it to go on the slider. Using a pencil, put two dots on either side of the upper right hand corner. Repeat in the lower left hand corner.
Using a straight edge (I used the gift card) and a craft knife, connect the dots creating a slit to put tuck the corners of your gift card into, as shown. Be sure to erase your dots once you have made the cut!
You're almost done! Simply slide the gift card into the pocket as shown.
Your gift box should now look like this:
Next, tie a bow and adhere it to the top of your gift.
And, lastly, make a tag for your gift. I simply used a circle punch, a stamp and a piece of twine. I tucked the twine into the adhesive under my bow.
And now it's done! Isn't it cute?!?!
Simply slide the gift card out of the "gift box" to reveal the gift inside!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
