Counting down 'til Christmas - Day 11

Here is another beautiful swap I received shared by Mary L

It's a Gift Card Holder with a real pop!!

This would do for that very special someone on your list

I will show you the one Mary did and then one that I made up

I shared these with my club members in November

There are lots of pictures because you need to get a "feel" for this spectacular project!!

Front - fits into a regular envelope

Where the Gift Card fits

Back

And guess what??? It just takes one piece of 11" x 8 1/2" card stock!! 

Amazing

Here are the measurements

Card Base - 11" x 8 1/2"  Scored at 4 1/4" on the short side and then at 2 3/4" and 8 1/4" on the long side

All is Bright Designer Series Paper (or your choice) 7 pieces 4" x 2 1/2" and 1 piece 4" x 2"

Whisper White 2 pieces 5 1/4" x 4" for inside top and bottom; 3 3/4" x 3" (for front sentiment); small pieces for stamping sentiments

Cherry Cobbler 5 1/4" x 4"; small pieces for cutting out frames

Gold Glimmer Paper 4" x 3 1/4"

Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper 3 1/2" x 2 3/4"

Sparkle Glimmer Paper - small pieces for punching sprigs

Assemble your card

After you have added the designer series paper to the top right and bottom left flaps, use a 1 1/4" circle punch and punch out a hole

Cut out 4 "frames" in Cherry Cobbler Card stock using the Layering Circles Framelits

Add these to the 1 1/4" circle 

Stamp your sentiment on Whisper White and punch out with the 1 1/4" circle punch.  

Punch out a Cherry Cobbler circle with the 1 1/2" circle punch

Adhere to the top and bottom so they "peek" through the windows

Using a 1" circle punch, punch a half circle on the designer series paper that will be for your gift card

Adhere this piece on three sides and slip your gift card in
