Z-Fold Gift Card Holder Details and Process Video

The next papercraft project I did for last weekend's event is this Z-Fold Gift Card Holder. I was trying to think of items that would work for this time of year with end-of-year gifts and treats. This is a quick and easy gift card holder that can be made for any time of the year.

To create this gift card holder you will need the following: 

    Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" for base, 9 3/4" x 4 1/4" for z-fold, 3" x 4" for inside

    Patterned paper - 4" x 5 1/4" for base, 3" x 4" for front, 3" x 3/4" for band on front, 3" x 4" for inside
                               pocket section and 3" x 1 3/4" for pocket

    Tools: trimmer with scoring blade or scoring platform, scissors, Tear Tape, 1" circle punch

1.  Score the 9" x 4 1/4" cardstock at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2". Fold along score lines.

2. Adhere the patterned paper pieces to the base and fold out sections as shown. When adhering the gift card pocket use a thin strip of Tear Tape only on 3 sides. I use a leftover gift card as a placeholder when adhering to make sure there is enough room to slide the gift card in and out.

3. Using Tear Tape on the back side of the rightmost fold out section adhere the fold out centered on the base.

4. Add some stamped and die cut pieces to embellish the holder.  

You can watch my process on this video from my YouTube channel.

I hope you like this project. Thanks for stopping by!

Wildflower Birthday Card Workshop

My latest workshops that are part of my Craft with Choice workshops series features the Wildflower Birthday Suite from Stampin' Up. I combined a two-sheet wonder card workshop with some Fun Fold card techniques to add a little something extra to these cards. I had a lot of fun creating these cards that are perfect for any birthday you celebrate. I am sharing the Card Workshop with this post. Make sure to check back for the Scrapbook Workshop.

These Craft Your Choice workshops are meant to help you stretch your paper crafting supplies by creating a set of cards and several scrapbook layouts with 1 package of Double-Sided Designer Series paper. Using this paper along with coordinating cardstock, the stamp and die set(s), and embellishments that are part of the Suite of products you will have options to your crafting!

The Wildflower Card Workshop helps you make 10 cards out of 2 12"x12" pieces of Designer Series Paper - 2 each of 5 designs. You will also learn some new cardmaking techniques with these Fun Fold designs!
