Hi everyone and welcome back to my Blog!
This weekend Dare 2B Artzy is having a fun Instagram Hop and the design team will all be sharing holiday inspiration projects. My project is a fun gift card holder that features the ice skate from the D2BA
Winter Wonderland Stamp Set.
To go with the ice skating/winter theme, I used light blue colors and a piece of snowflake pattern paper. I love how these colors give an icy look to the project! I also attached several white enamel dots to the center of several snowflakes to add in a little more detail to the front.
The inside of the holder has four (4) pockets and I decided to add in to purple pockets for an extra pop of color. You can actual fit at least six (6) pockets in this holder (maybe more), but this was the perfect amount for me. Red and Green pockets would also be fun for a Christmas design or pattern paper would also give a fun look to the inside.
Lastly, I attached the sentiment and a small velcro dot to close the holder. I also add extra glue behind the velcro to make sure it stays in place.
Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you will check out the

Have a great day!
_______________Gift Card Holder Instructions_______________
Step 1: Cut a piece of card stock to 3" x 11" (Heavy Weight cardstock)
Step 2: Score the base at 8-1/2", 7-3/4", 4", and 3-1/4".
Step 3: Use bone folder to crease all the score lines.
Note: The shorter section is the top of the holder.
Step 3: Create your pockets (I used four (4) for this project).
Cut a piece of card stock to 6” x 4”
Step 4: Score the card pockets at 3-1/4” and 1/2"
Step 5: Turn the paper and score down at 1/2"
Step 6: Cut each pocket as shown below:
Step 7: Use a bone folder to crease all the score lines.
Step 8: Add liquid adhesive to both tabs to create the pocket.
Step 8: After you assemble the pockets, use a small circle die or punch to cut the same size hole each pocket as shown below. This makes it super easy to pull the pockets.
Step 9: Use liquid adhesive to attach the pockets to each other.
Start by glueing the first pocket to the inside center of the card base (do not go over the score lines) and stack the remaining pockets on top of each other.
*Reminder: The shorter folded side is the top of the holder.
Optional: For the final pocket, pull up the bottom of the holder and attach it to the top pocket. This will allow the pockets to pull open when you open the holder.
Step 10: To complete the project, attach a small Velcro dot to keep the holder closed.
Step 11: Decorate with pattern paper and enjoy!
