I made two types of gift card holders last night on Facebook Live – each has a piece that pulls up from a pocket on the inside of the card.
The first one uses the Penguin Place bundle and Penguin Playmates designer paper that will be available starting August 3. The paper will be a Sale-a-bration “Free with $50” item. Yippee!
The projects in this post are from last night’s Facebook Live. I am adding pictures and dimensionts here for easy reference, but you may need to see the video for complete instructions. Please click here to see the video – and please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notifications of all of my live videos.
If you reference the video, please note that I misspoke when giving the card base dimensions for the penguin card – it should be Thick Basic White 5 1/2″ x 7 3/4″, scored at 2 3/4″ and 6 1/4″. The tabs are made on the short side, 3/8″ from either edge.
The rest of the dimensions are as follows…
- Pull Piece 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, scored 3/8″ from each edge on one side
- Designer Paper 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ and 1 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
- Band 1 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
The second gift card holder uses the stamp set Joyful Life.
It can be made in the portrait orientation (as shown) or landscape, so that the gift card pulls from a pocket at the right side of the card.
Dimensions are as follows…
- Soft Sea Foam 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
- Thick Basic White 4″ x 10″, scored at 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″, with tabs made along the short side at 3/8″ from either edge
- Pull Piece 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, scored 3/8″ from each edge
- Designer Paper 3″ x 4″ and 3″ x 1/2″
Don’t forget my tip for assembly – burnish the pull piece in a z-shape, but assemble with the top edge unfolded. Simply lay the pull piece so that the top edge is unfolded and the bottom edge is folded and tucked down into the pocket. Add adhesive to the 3/8″ tab at the top, and place the top edge just below the fold in the card base.. Then press the card front closed and presto! – when it opens, you will have created the configuration shown above.
I won’t have a carousel of products today, as most of these products are not available until August 3. If you are anxious to get them sooner – you can always join as a Demonstrator and choose them in your Starter Kit! Please don’t hesitate to contact me at stampyourworld@gmail.com if you would like to set up a call to discuss this.
