Hey Y'all!
Today I wanted to share this easy gift card holder. I needed a card for a baby shower for a boy.
I chose the Hats Off bundle to create my card. I love the sentiment "Here's To the Next Adventure" because if you have had kids, you know what I'm talking about! Every day is an adventure! And well worth it, I might add. The cardbase is Misty Moonlight, and it is what some call a "Hot Dog" fold or "top folding" card. The cardstock is cut in 1/2 at 4-1/4 and scored at 5-1/2. (scroll down to see all of the measurements.) The Pool Party panel was die cut with one of the rectangles from the Scalloped Contour Dies.
Look at the stitching detail on the hat! I first stamped it in Misty Moonlight onto Basic White, then die cut it. I also die cut the patch on the front in Misty Moonlight and the fish in Basic White. I used some of the recently retired Sunshine & Rainbows DSP from Saleabration. I hope you were able to get some, I love that paper! (PS if you didn't get any, I have a class coming up using it with the coordinating Rainbows of Happiness Bundle.)
Here is the inside of the card, and you can see on the left side the pocket for the gift card holder. This is created by folding on the 2-3/4 score line and placing adhesive on the top and bottom edge. Before I glued it down, I used a 1-1/2" circle punch to create the thumb notch. I die cut the smaller hat in Misty Moonlight, and also stamped the inside greeting in Misty Moonlight. This one comes from All For Baby.
Card Measurements:
- Cardbase: Misty Moonlight 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2 and 2-3/4
- Basic White: Front Panel 2-5/8 x 3-7/8, Inside Panel 4 x 5-1/4
- DSP: Both panels 2-1/2 x 4
