Birthday and Thank you Gift Card holders

GIFT CARD HOLDERS

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Where to start?? Let’s start with the embossing. Since the embossing folder we are using is not a 3D folder, place one of the narrow edges of your gift card holder (GCH) in the folder up to the first score line, run it through the embossing machine sandwiched between two #3 plates.
Now fold along the middle score line and burnish for a nice crisp fold.
This next step is where Tear & Tape adhesive works really well but liquid glue will also work. Place the adhesive on the three “open” sides from that fold to the score lines (as close to the edges as possible). And adhere to close, BE SURE NOT TO PUT THE ADHESIVE ON THE INSIDE BY THE FOLD!
Using a personal trimmer or your scissors, trim a sliver off the folded edge. (This is where the gift card will slide in.) Then, using a circle punch, punch out a small semi circle from that same side; centered; so it gives you a notch to grab hold of the gift card.
Now fold back along the two score lines (the pocket you just created will be inside)
Adhere your DSP to the small piece of coordinating colored cardstock and then adhere this to the “front” side of your GCH (the side with the embossing).
Each of the GCHs will get a piece of white cardstock adhered to the inside for you to be able to write a little note to the card recipient. Stamp this piece of cardstock with the corresponding sentiment or little design on it and adhere it to the inside.
For the Birthday GCH:

On the extra piece of white cardstock, stamp one or two sets of balloons, color them in and die cut out.
On the remnant, stamp the birthday sentiment and die cut out. (Or whichever order you prefer.)
Die cut out the number you want for the birthday recipient in the Spruce cardstock.
Run the ribbon through the tiny hole on the tag then tie with the twine in a knot so that it won’t come undone.
Now assemble it all on the front of your GCH however you would like to.
Take the little velcro adhesive that you received adhereing it to the inside framed inside the semi circle.

For the Thank You GCH:

On the little square of white cardstock, stamp your sentiment then die cut out.
Die cut the Melon Mambo piece of cardstock with the next size up circle. Adhere the two together. (Obviously with the sentiment facing out so that you can read it. ;0) )
Take the ribbon, wrap it around your GCH so that you can line it up where you want it. This is the other place where the tear & Tape adhesive is best. Adhere the Tear & Tape on the back of the ribbon then adhere it down. Tie your bow.
Using Dimensionals® adhere the sentiment over the ribbon.

10. Now it is up to you to put gift cards in there.. Sorry I’m not providing those. :0)

DAD, THANKS FOR BEING THE BEST

HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE:

Run three (2” x 3 1/2”) pieces of DSP through the Die machine with the corresponding die.
Line the three pieces up on the (3 1/2” x 5 1/2”) strip of beige cardstock leaving a sliver of space between each.
Wrap the ribbon around the length of the beige piece you just worked with, adhering the ribbon in the back. (I added a strip of Tear & Tape to keep the ribbon from sliding around but you can use Stampin’ Seal® or even liquid glue (this could get messy).
On the small piece of beige cardstock, stamp sentiment then run through the die machine with the corresponding die.
Run the Pecan cardstock through the machine with the letters D-A-D.
Adhere the sentiment on the card front over the ribbon with Dimensionals® and then just to the left of the sentiment, adhere the letters.
Embellish with some gems.
Adhere a strip of coordinating DSP on the envelope flap and trim down.
There you have it!
