Envelope Gift Card Holder

Hi Everyone,
This is going to be a blast from the past for you.

Remember the Gift Card Holders that we did with Envelopes? I just remembered it today while helping my downline and decided to share it with you
First you will need any envelope, a Crimper, Ribbon, Cutter, Ink , Punch and stamps of choice.

Then you will seal your envelope….

Next place your sealed Envelope in your cutter and cut at the two inch mark.

I decided to punch the ends of the top piece….with my Scalloped Edge Punch.

Now take the larger part of the sealed envelope and run it through your crimper….lines will be going straight up and down when set up right.

This is what you will be working with for your Envelope Gift Card Holder…..The top fits nicely over the bottom now. See…

I then took a Snowflake stamp and stamped it on the top with Crumb Cake Ink and sponged Crumb Cake on the Scallops to better define the edges against the bottom.

I cut a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock to place my Gift Card on…..then I attached a punched piece from our Tab Punch so that the card could be removed easily!

Here is my Decorated and finished Gift Card Holder…I had this extra Snowman sitting on my desk I had done a few days ago…why not right? I attached him to one of the scallops from the Pennant Die and a little Crumb Cake Seam Binding and I’m done.
I hope you’ll give this “Blast from the Past” a try. I had forgotten how fun these were to make.
Have a great Day!
