Today’s Fun Fold is more of a Double Card plus a bit more! It is very flexible and can be utilized as a gift card holder as well as a regular card. And with that confusing beginning, here is my card.
The Star is the Paper
There are more pictures to show the various parts of the card. But I wanted to show how pretty this Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper is. There are two layers of the DSP used here on the front. Actually there is no stamping required here at all. Simply use two complimentary papers and some pretty ribbon.
Gift Card holder
Here is a view of the small card on the front open to reveal a gift card. The ribbon tied around this section ensures the card will not accidentally fall out. If you do not want to include a gift card, a little piece of cardstock with a second sentiment would work perfectly.
Inside View
This inside sentiment and the cute little gnome is the only stamping I have on this card. I love the gnomes and colored him to match the paper on front of the small card. Also, the matching dies to the Kindest Gnomes Bundle will cut a little gnome from the DSP if you would rather go that direction.
Directions
The card base of Coastal Cabana is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. The small card is 7 1/2 X 3 3/4 and scored at 2 1/2 and 5. At the 5″ score line, cut from the top of the score line down to the bottom right corner. When folded in, this makes the pocket. Apply Tear & Tape to only the bottom of that angle to finish the pocket.
The Pale Papaya large layer is 4 X 5 1/4 with the DSP cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. And the small Pale Papaya is cut to 2 1/4 X 3 1/2. For the small DSP layer I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to add a little extra to the cute gnomes. Prior to adhering the small card to the center front of the large card, add the length of ribbon behind it. Tip: Go ahead and tie the bow to ensure you have enough ribbon.

SUPPLIES:
What a fun gift card holder for the holidays, Jackie! The paper you chose on the front coordinates so well that I wouldn’t have known that it was two separate patterns. Cool! The little gnome inside is so cute. Have a great day and wonderful rest of your week.
Adorable! Love the gift card holder on the front, Jackie!
How fun Jackie! I love the “secret” gift card holder. The soft color choice of your DSP is beautiful!
Very clever use of paper & inventive to add the pocket. Very nice card.
