Gift Card Holders

Last night we had our final meeting for the year. We had some wonderful Christmas cards to look at but wouldn't you know it, I didn't take a picture of them all so I hope that the girls will upload their own cards to share.

This is the card I made. I stamped a background stamp (stars and swirls) on cream card for the background and distressed it slightly on the edges. The large image was stamped on red card then layered on cream (same for the sentiment). The dove stamp (from a Craft Stamper magazine last year) was stamped on cream card also, cut out with a nestabilities die and distressed around the edges.

We looked at making gift card holders last night. I found an excellent video from Gina K. on making these.
There are two links to follow to get to the video demonstration:
Part 1 and Part 2

To make the holder you will need:
1 piece of card 41/4" by 10"
(If you use A4 card, you can cut it in half lengthwise at 41/8" and reduce the width of the other pieces by 1/8".)

Patterned Card/paper:
Outside:
2 pieces 4" by 2 3/4"
1 piece 4" by 1 3/4"

Inside:
2 pieces 4" by 2 3/4"
1 piece 4" by 1 3/4"
2 pieces 4" by  3/4"
You will also need DS Tape (narrow), glue, ribbon or matching paper, a ruler and cutting knife.

Enjoy!
