Gift Wrapped Chrsitmas Card - Z Fold Card

It is wayyyy past Christimas and I totally forgot to share this card with you! Its a new favourite fold taught to me by my beautiful friend Sue Vine. She is a master on this card fold. Heres a quick post with the measurements. 

Please note this bundle is now retired but like with all my examples you can literally use any stamp set and die or punch to complete a similar card.

You will get x2 cards from one sheet of A4 cardstock. (You Tube tutorials are coming!)

On the short side of an A4 Sheet make a small mark 6cm up on opposing sides of the cardstock. Cut the cardstock in half using these measurements as your guide.  Score the longest edge at 9.9cm, then turn the cardstock 180 degrees and score 9.9cm on the other side. You now have a card base!

I used the 'Gift Wrapped' bundle to decorate this card. I particulary loved colouring the bows in with my Stampin' Blends.

Gift Wrapped - Gift Card Holder Card

Hello! Can you believe it’s nearly Spring? This means Christmas is just a few months away so let’s get ourselves ready in time with these cute and easy Gift Card Holder cards. Here it is all nicely ’gift wrapped’.

Once you remove the belly band the inside is decorated simply and has a section for your gift card in the middle flap.



Here are the main stamps I used - get 10% off when you purchase in a bundle this one is only $54.75 AUD plus postage.

Let’s get started, once you have your cardbase cut & scored (as detailed above) valley & mountain fold all the score lines.

Add a strip of strong adhesive like Tear n Tape along the 3” score line. Remove the backing and stick it down to the 6” score line to create a flap in the middle of the card. 

Burnish the lines really well, this will help when using a punch to go through 2 layers of card. 

To create the slot where the gift card will sit, line up a punch, such as the one pictured, to the edge of the cardstock, repeat on the other side. 

You should be able to slide the gift card into the slot. 

To create the belly band, stamp a cute and simple image all over it. 

The best way to ensure you have a good fitting belly band is to secure it while the cardbase is in between.

Add your embellishments such as the bow onto the front and inside panels and you’re done!

These colours work so well for a fresh Christmas feel. You can easily make 2 holders from a sheet of A4. You’ll have the whole family covered in no time at all!
