Pop-up Gift Card Holder Tutorial

As I mentioned in my last post, I have been busy working on swaps for the Stampin'Up! convention. Here is a photo of the card I did for an organized swap I'm participating in at convention. It's a pop-up card that holds a gift card inside. I have made a video tutorial if you'd like to try making one.


Supplies: party hearty stamp set; kraft, whisper white, bermuda bay, melon mambo, crushed curry, and rich razzleberry card stock; rich razzleberry, melon mambo, crushed curry, bermuda bay, soft suede classic ink and markers; 1/2" crushed curry polka-dot grosgrain ribbon; scallop edge, 3/4" circle and 3/16" corner rounder craft punches; SU backgrounds 1 Texturz plate.

Again, I just have to confess, I'm a little disappointed in the quality of this photo. I didn't have very good light to shoot this morning. Because of that you may not be able to tell that the blue background on the front of this card has been dry embossed. I also forgot to take a photograph of the inside, but you can see it if you watch the video tutorial that follows.



To make the foundation for this card you will need two pieces of cardstock; measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and the other 5-1/2" x 6".

Score the larger 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece at 4-1/4" (from the longer edge) and fold to 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"

On the 5 1/2" x 6" piece make six score marks (parallel to the 5 1/2" edge) at:
1-1/2", 3", 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 4-3/4" and 5-1/2". Follow the instructions on the video for folding.
