Here's a great idea that I received from a demonstrator in my downline, Robin. This would be perfect to present a gift card to someone... The first photo is of the gift card holder closed. Notice how Robin used a piece of Hodgepodge Hardware at the bottom to hold the flap closed. You could probably also tie a ribbon around the package or use the slot punch if you don't have a piece of Hodgepodge Hardware.
The next photo is with the top flap open. I like how Robin stamped this part... She has used the Carte Postale stamp set from the Winter Mini Catalogue along with the French Script background stamp on her gift card holder.
This last photo is of the package open and you can see how the gift card is inserted into a little pocket inside.
Let's see if I can give you some dimensions on this so you can make one... The main piece of card stock (in this sample, Chocolate Chip) is 5 1/2" tall x 8" wide. It is scored 2" from the top and 2" on each of the sides. Then the squares on the top left and right are cut out and the bottom rectangles are also cut out, along the score lines. The piece of Mellow Moss card stock that Robin used on the front is 3 3/4" wide by about 3" tall after it was ripped at the bottom (you would need to cut it a bit longer to leave enough to tear if you want to do this. The pocket inside is 3 3/4" wide x 2" tall secured on three sides - I would use Sticky Strip on this to be sure that it holds well. Robin added a piece of ribbon across the top for a nice accent. Closed, the little package measures 4" x 3 1/2". If you need better instructions, let me know! Remember, you can click on any of the photos to see them enlarged.
Happy stampin'!
Bev.
