TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 12

Out last project before Christmas is a card/gift card holder.  I saw a remake of this card from someone who didn't know where the original came from.  So I really made up my own directions.

This is the front when it is all finished.

Start with two sections.  The first section is just a card base cut at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 with a layer of DSP cut at 5 1/4 x 4.  Here I used a piece from Dashing Along.

The second piece of cardstock is cut at 4 1/4 x 11.

With the long side at the top of your Simply Scored, score at 3 5/8".  Then I flipped my cardstock around and did the same thing from the other end.  I did this because 11 is hard to divide 3 ways.  This is very close to having all pieces even and is very easy to do.

Mountain fold one score and valley fold the other.

Then I just decorated the pieces.  The white piece for the inside and for the front are cut at 3 1/4 x 4.

The front piece is embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

The inside is stamped with images from the Dashing Deer stamp set.

The center DSP piece is cut at 3 1/2 x 2 3/8.  I used Fast Fuse along the two sides and the bottom to hold in securely in the card.  Make sure you do not adhere the top because that is where you gift card will slide in.

The front is stamped with Soft Suede using the deer image in Dashing Deer.  I used one of my leaf fronds and Cherry Cobbler linen thread  left over from Paper Pumpkin as embellishments.  The message is in Garden Green and also from Dashing Deer.  The deer and the message are popped up with Dimensionals.
