Washi Tape Gift Card Folder

It's getting to be that time of year when the graduation announcements, wedding and shower invitations are rolling in. Because our family is spread out all over the country, we often choose to send gift cards to celebrate happy events. I like to make them special by making fun gift card folders to personalize them.  I used washi tape and the new Sizzix ScoreBoard Gift Card Folder to create this project. 

Sizzix Supplies:

658054  Gift Card Folder and Label- ScoreBoard

657723  Labels & Buttons

657119  Leaves

657720  Sweet Treats for You

657382  Birthday, Congrats & Thanks set

655491  6" x 13" Little Sizzles Matboard Pack, cream

Other Supplies:

washi tape, Clearsnap Chalk Inks, twine, ribbon, letter and number stamps, Scotch ATG gun 

 opening....

ta-dah!

First, cover a sheet of matboard with washi tape striped on a diagonal leaving a little room in between each piece. Then die cut a Gift Card Folder from that matboard, making sure to lay the tape side facing the die.

Fold die up on score lines into folder shape.

Smear inks randomly on the inside of the folder. Blend with a sponge.

Emboss a coupon envelope with the word Congratulations. Adhere to folder.

 Ink lightly to bring out the words. Slip gift card inside.

I wound up inking the edges and open areas that did not have 

tape on them in brown at the last minute.

Add embellishments to folder.

Stamp 4 U on the label and tie firmly around folder. To open it, 

just slip the label down to the bottom and open the flap!

Love your garden? Next time I will have samples from my brand new Picket Fence collection! So excited that they will finally be in stores. Have a great weekend... Eileen
