Gift Card Holders!

This card holder pattern is so versatile.  You choose whatever DSP or card stock you want to use along with the stamp set of your choice.  Here I chose Perfect Pennants and Christmas Messages ( this is set will retire on August 28, so hurry to get your set it is awesome). This pattern I got from Angie Kennedy-Juda on ChicnClique a group I belong to.  Angie is my upline! Check her out here, awesome site.
Deck the Hall card product used:
Stamps: Christmas Messages (w) 131790, (c) 131793,
Ink: Cherry Cobbler 126966, Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler 119685, Whisper White 100730, Regals DSP Stack 130139 and Glimmer Paper 135314. Accessories: 2-3/8 Scallop Circle Punch 118874, 2" Circle Punch 133782, Scalloped Edge Border 119882, Cherry Cobbler Striped Grosgrain Ribbon 134554, White Bakers Twine 124262, Sticky Strip 104294, dimensionals 104430, Simple Scored Scoring Tool 122334. For the Blue one I used most of the tools listed. The DSP is Marina Mist from Subtles DSP Stack 130135 and ribbon is Marina Mist Chevron 130016 , Marina Mist Card stock 119682 and the Foil paper 132178 (pg 193). I did stamp two of the Make a Wish and cut the "a" out with the 1/2" punch 119869. The Cutting measurements for this project are: Whisper White: 10 x 3-1/4.  Score on landscape side at 4" and 8 ".  The Whisper White Square is 3-1/4 x 3=1/4.  Cherry Cobbler or Marina Mist card stock is cut at 7-1/2 x 3-1/2 and score on landscape side at 1/2" and 4".  DSP is cut at 3 x 3 and Glimmer Paper or Foil is punched with the 2-3/8 Scalloped circle punch. The Deck the Halls was close punching with the 2" circle punch but turned out okay, Instructions for putting it together: (Please read instructions all the way through before you begin.)
1. Score the Whisper White card stock on the landscape side at 4 & 8.
2. Score the Cherry Cobbler or Marina Mist card stock at 1/2 & 4.
3. Fold both of them on the score lines.
4. Punch the Cherry Cobbler or Marina Mist card stock with the Scalloped Edge Border Punch and add to the inside of the gift card holder.  I always cut my a little longer so I can trim the edges.
5. Add Sticky Strip to the sides (leaving room to add the gift card). Lay old gift card down so you can see how much room you have to before taping.
6. Add adhesive to the 1/2 side of the Cherry Cobbler  or Marina Mist card stock and fold to make pocket.
7. Add DSP to Whisper White card stock and add to front of gift card holder.
8. Add Cherry Cobbler or Marina Mist Ribbon.
9. Stamp image with Cherry Cobbler or Marina Mist ink and cut it out with the 2” Circle Punch.
10. Add it to a Glimmer Paper or Foil Paper 2-3/8 Scallop Circle with a Dimensional.
11. Pierce one of the scallops and add White Bakers Twine and tie it around the Cherry Cobbler  or Marina Mist Ribbon.
12. Your Gift Card Holder is complete!  Thanks Angie for the beautiful idea!!!!

Happy Stamping,
