Sophisticated Sled, Take a Bow, Wildflower Designs, Reindeer Days, Christmas Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a gift card holder Christmas card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic White card stock.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Take a Bow" 6" x 6" stack. I taped it to the card base.

The "Z" fold piece was cut at 4-1/4" x 9" and it was scored at 3" and 6".  On the front of the "Z" fold piece I taped a 2-3/4" x 4" piece of DSP from the same stack. 

Next I made the pocket. It's a 3-1/4" x 3" piece of DSP that was scored on the sides at 1/4" and 3". Once scored it measured 2-3/4" x 3".  I used my bone folder on the score lines and then I glued them plus the bottom edge to the inside of the "Z" fold piece. Allow the glue to dry some before you slip in a gift card. If you're like me you want to see the card in the pocket right away. 

On the front I taped a piece of Basic White card stock that was cut using the die from the "Wildflower Designs" bundle. I glued both pieces in place. I said both pieces because the die cuts the frame and the center at the same time. I just lined up the frame with the edges of the DSP and I glued it in place.

Before gluing the center part in place I stamped it using the wording from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle and Real Red ink. I glued the "Z" fold piece to the front of the card

I fussy cut a deer from the "Reindeer Days" 12" x 12" package. I set it in place using Dimensionals.

A few peppermint candy embellishments were added to the front and the card was done.

This is such a super easy gift card holder to make. I love the red and white, it really says "Christmas".

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas gift card,
