Thankful Garden Gift Card Holder

Today’s Fun Fold Gift Card Holder is SOOOOO cute (if I do say so myself)!! I absolutely love the Thankful Garden product suite by Stampin’ Up!, and the paper is gorgeous. I am featuring the stamp set and matching Designer Series Paper (DSP)…I think you’ll love this card! This layout was shared with me from my sweet friend Betty Saccocia.

PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video where I made this project. It always helps to watch it, instead of just reading about it!

I started out with my Fresh Freesia card base, measuring 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (like a postcard). Layered on top of this is a piece of the gorgeous DSP, measuring 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″. Doesn’t it look fabulous?

Next, I made a Z fold “mini card,” which layers on top of this postcard base. This is another piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock, measuring 9-3/4″ x 4-1/2″, and scored at 3-1/4″ and 6-1/2″. When you adhere this to your card base, make sure it opens/closes like I show in the video! This is important!

The green layer of DSP on the front of this Z fold measures 4-1/4″ x 3″. I stamped the sentiment, using Black Memento ink, and punched it out with the Modern Oval Punch. Then, I hand-cut out one of the flower bouquets and added it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to the flowers, which you really can’t see in the picture. But it looks gorgeous and sparkly in person!!

On the inside of the card, the Basic White piece measures 4-1/4″ x 3″. The little Fresh Freesia DSP measures 4-1/4″ x 2″, and then I used the Modern Oval Punch to punch out a little notch. When you add your glue to this piece, be sure to only add it around the outer edges, so that you are creating a pocket for the gift card to slip into.
