Beautiful World Gift Card Holder

From time to time we all need to get off that quick gift whether it is a birthday, a graduation or some other special event.  I often find myself sending gift cards because my recipients can get what they really want, in the right size and I am not spending a fortune on shipping.  So, with that said we need to have a nice way to present our gift cards and I love this idea.  I don’t know who originally came up with it, I have seen it all over Pinterest and Facebook for years but it is certainly worth a share yet again.

The front of the card all closed up

The card opened up along with the coordinating envelope

The card base is Cinnamon Cider cardstock that is cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 2 ½” and 5 ½”.  The 2 ½” score line gets folded under to create a pocket for the gift card and the 5 ½ score gets folded so that you have a perfect 4 ¼ x 5 ½” card.

The designer series paper I chose for this project is from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper and I just love the maps that are all in this beautiful rich Brass Foil.  I cut two pieces of it to 2 ¾ x 4” and one piece to 2 ¼ x 4”.  The smaller one goes inside the card and covers the pocket for the gift card and the other two are adhered to the front left and the bottom right sides.  Once my paper was adhered, I cut a little semi-circle out of the center of my pocket (I used my ½” punch which has retired).  Then I adhered the two ends down (be sure to keep your adhesive close to the edges so your card can go in and out freely. 

For the front of my card I die cut one of the globe pieces from the Beautiful World Bundle (I used North America but there is also a die of South America as well) out of Copper Foil Sheet and I cut the circle from the same set out of Night of Navy cardstock and adhered my foil globe to it.  I then die cut a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock (about 3 ¾ x 3 ½”) out using one of the dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I glued this piece onto just the left side of my card (so my card can open) and then I added my globe with Dimensionals.

For the inside of the card I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 2 3/8 x 4” and stamped my sentiment “Adventure Awaits” from the Beautiful World bundle onto it using Cinnamon Cider ink.  I also added the little compass from the bundle onto the envelope also stamping it with Cinnamon Cider ink. 

And there you have it, a card and gift all in one.  I hope you enjoy this gift card holder and it is something you will enjoy making as well.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
