Anything but a Card at House Mouse & Friends Blog

Hello friends it’s another new challenge at House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge, and I’m early getting mine done. Since it is getting closer to Christmas I decided to join in the Anything but a Card challenge and make a gift card holder. Now I made one of these before and it’s a very simple design. I know I found it on someone’s blog and for some reason or other I can’t find the instruction paper with the name on it, You can be sure I will give credit when I find out.

This is the closed card, I used a DCWV Christmas pad and Riding hood Red cardstock. I used this cute little guy in an ornament it’s just perfect for this size project. It was layered on a leftover snowflake and then the scalloped punched cardstock.

          Not a very good picture but this is the gift card holder open.
Instructions:
Base 7 X 4 1/4 Score at 2 1/2 and 5 1/2
Patterned Paper:cut 2 pieces  2 1/4 X 4  and 1 piece 1 1/4 X 4
Fold on score lines, on the 2 1/2 section attach with a strong double sided tape to make a pocket..
Add the patterned paper to the front and inside as in the picture.
Belly Band: 9 1/2 X 1 1/8 Patterned paper 4 3/8 X 1
Wrap band around the card holder and attach together, add patterned paper to the front and decorate as desired.
Being crafters you shouldn’t have any trouble following the instructions it is a really quick and easy gift card holder.
