Fun Pocketbook Gift Card Holders

On today’s YouTube Live I made this pretty purse that holds a gift card. I love how it turned out.

Watch the video to see all the steps to make these cards. You can change up the paper and make them for any occasion. You can never have too many gift card holders, right? I got this idea from Laura's Craft Closet and tweaked it a little bit.

I used the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper with Mint Macaron for this one.

You can use some Velcro to keep it closed. Velcro, what a wonderful invention!!!

Measurements & Instructions:

• Mint Macaron Card base - 10 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4, 5 1/4, 6 1/4

• Mint Macaron Flap - 5 1/2 x 3, score at 1/2

• Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper

  • 3 pieces - 5 1/4 x 4

  • 2 pieces - 5 1/4 x 2 1/4

• Round corners on flap and patterned pieces for the flap and adhere. Adhere flap to card.

• Adhere patterned paper to front and inside.

• Mint Macaron gift card slot - 4 x 2 1/4, cut half circle using Tasteful Labels Die and adhere to card using Tear & Tape.

• Stamp sentiment (Christmas To Remember) on 1/2” Basic White Cardstock with Mint Macaron, cut to size and adhere to gift card slot.

• Stamp sentiment on Basic White Cardstock with Mint Macaron and cut with Tasteful Labels Dies. Adhere to inside top.

• Adhere ribbon to inside of card to make a handle. Tie bow and adhere using a Glue Dot.

• Stamp sentiment on Basic White scrap with Mint Macaron Ink and cut with the small circle from the Tasteful Labels Dies. Cut the larger circle from Mint Macaron Cardstock and adhere together. Adhere to front flap just putting glue on the top half.

• Add small piece of Velcro to inside flap and front.

Here’s a side view…..this is so cute, isn’t it?

I used the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper for this one along with Real Red and Mossy Meadow Cardstock. The Ribbon is the Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon. I added a Wonderful Gem to the sentiment.

The sentiments on this card are from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set.

Rustic Christmas To Remember Card

I love the rustic look of this card with the pretty branches and pinecones. There’s a little bit of gold added in a few places to brighten it up.

The Christmas to Remember Bundle has wonderful sentiments. The Christmas Pinecone Dies are big enough to cover your card front with greenery and you can add pinecones to the branches.

The Christmas Season Bundle has the labels to coordinate with the Christmas To Remember Stamp Set. I used some of the greenery images on the inside of the card. Both bundles work so great together.

The Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set is one of my favorite. I just love that cabin image.
