Good Morning Guys!

I have an updated gift card/cash holder for you today, I had a suggestion for one incorporating a tuck in flap and I thought that was a great idea.  I went about making one and while I was at it, I added some side flaps so now you wont need to add brads or ribbons etc, it’s much easier to use so thanks for the suggestion Carol! :)

Pic 1. I cut the holder base from some ivory pearl card, the front panels from some floral paper and the back panel from some whitewash card. The ribbon and metal embellishment are to add some decoration to the front panel:

Pic 2. I folded all of the perforated lines to help with where to place the layering pieces and added some red line tape to the side tabs:

Pic 3. I added all of my layering pieces remembering to add any decoration first so the edges can be tucked away out of sight:

Pic 4. I removed the liner from my tape and stuck my tabs in place to form the pocket:

Pic 5. The tab on the front edge tucks easily into the slot in the pocket:

Good Afternoon!

I have a Doily Gatefold Cut File for you today, it includes the gatefold card base and the layering pieces too, one square for the inside and two semi-circles for the front. The Doily Gatefold could be used as a gatefold card or as an invitation envelope as I did with the floral versions I made previously here and here. To hold my floral versions closed I added some ribbon and tied a bow but to hold today’s project closed I used a belly band instead which easily slips on and off. So not only do you get to chose what you use it for, you also get to chose how to hold it closed, fun! :)

I cut my card base 11 inches long to form a 5.5 inch card, I used A4 ivory cardstock and the layering pieces were patterned paper. To make the belly band I took the remaining piece of ivory card from the A4 sheet, I cut it down to approx 1.5 inches wide,  I wrapped it around my card and glued the 2 ends to form a band. I cut more of the patterned paper and added a piece to the front and another to the back to hide the join in the card. I wrapped some seam binding around the band and tied it into a bow then glued a metal/pearl decoration into place.

As this type of card isn’t very stable, the stand from my last post comes in very handy :)

Good Evening!

Today I have a display stand for you to hold your cards or craft pieces, of course you could make a large one to display your scrapbook pages. Basically it will hold anything you would like to put on display, or for us bloggers, it is handy for holding our work steady while we photograph it ;)

The cut file comes in 2 pieces, I wanted to add some swirls to make the stand decorative in it’s own right but there is also a slightly larger piece to glue behind it to add to it’s strength and stability.

I cut my stand pieces from some antique gold pearl card. I glued my 2 pieces together and let them fully dry nice and flat before I folded my stand:

I folded the stand so the decorative layer is on the outside, here’s the inside:

Here’s how it looks from the back:
