Gift Card Holders for Craft Show


Good Evening my Friends!

WOW!  Such a busy week ... trying to get things finalized before this weekend's craft show.  With new items to sell, I decided to set up my tables to make sure I could display everything properly.  In doing so, I realized I really needed to get more gift card holders made since they are typically one of my QUICK TO GO items.  
By using one 12x12 sheet from the Heartfelt Creations 'Frosty Blanket Collection', I was able to quickly produce a dozen gift card holders in a short period of time.

This is the sheet that I used  ... the image in the background is the reverse side of this page.  These ATC sized panels worked perfectly for my card fronts.

 Here are the dimensions for this cute, yet easy project.
 


And here a photo of the entire group.  
With these panels being a little too small to cover the entire card front, I used various papers from the Kaiser Craft 'Twig & Berry' 6 1/2" Paper Pad for the background designs.  I've also used 1/8" Scor Tape to adhere the edges of my gift card holding inside flap.

 Since my background paper was 6 1/2", I was able to get TWO cards out of each sheet with a narrow piece left over.  SO, of course we have to use up those scraps and I decided to put some of these scraps together to create ONE MORE card (seen below).
I will be putting this one on display at the show so people can see what the inside looks like.  Each one is enclosed in a plastic bag along with a 3 1/2" x 5" envelope.

My sentiment die is Cheery Lynn Designs and I've used a touch of red Stickles for a touch of holiday sparkle.

Tomorrow's show is at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church on Steese Road in Green (between Akron & Canton) ... then on Nov. 2nd I'll be at the show held 9-4 at Green H.S. on Boettler Road in Green.
