Here's a little preview:
1. start with a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock. This color is our new Juniper. Score in thirds.
2. On the right hand third of the sheet, you want to cut diagonal lines that the gift cards will slip into. Mine are about 2 1/2 inches apart and I cut them with a craft knife.
3. Now fold that section toward the inside of the card. Don't glue anything down yet! I then added a piece of patterned paper over the entire section, opened the piece back up and sliced from the cardstock side through the patterned paper side to open up the slits in the patterned paper. With me, so far?
4. I then inserted a couple of cards as far as I wanted them to go. I added adhesive around the outside edges of this section AND a strip of adhesive below where each gift card was sitting in it's slot. Remove the gift cards and fold this section toward the center of the card again, adhering this third to the card. Now when I slide the gift cards into the slits I cut, they won't fall all the way to the bottom because the adhesive prevents that from happening.
5. The left side of the cardstock is now folded over to create the card front. Decorate as you wish - I used the Heart of Winter stamp set "Key to my Heart" to create the key, heart and saying...and then added a little ribbon and a brad and that's it!
If you wanted to, you could make this smaller height wise so it only holds 2 or 3 gift cards instead of 4 as mine does.
Thanks for joining in on the 12 Days of Christmas - CTMH style! I have a few entries for the prize package I promised on the 1st day (and sorry I didn't offer a special based on the answer to question one - I wasn't ready to give away the answer that soon but I can tell you now - I've been with my hubby for 33 years!!)
