DIY POP-UP GIFT CARD TUTORIAL

What I love! This easy pop-up holder transforms an impersonal gift card into an extra-special gift. Is your time short, but list long? No worries… it’s easy to make multiples in minutes!

CUT & PREP (Width x Length)

• CARDSTOCK: Main Piece 4-1/4″ x 9-3/4″
  • On Paper Trimmer, cut on long side at 5-1/2″
    • Large Piece: Score on long side at 4-1/4″ and 1-1/2″
    • Small Piece: Score on long side at 1-1/2″
    • Burnish folds with Bone Folder (see Photo 2)

• CARDSTOCK: Band 1-3/4″ x 6″ Band

• WHITE CARDSTOCK: Sentiment Panels (2) 4″ x 2-1/2″
  • Stamp sentiment and images from Delicate Pines Bundle, as desired

• DESIGNER (PATTERNED) PAPER: Decorative Layers 4″ x 7″
  • On Paper Trimmer, cut the following pieces on the long side…
    • For Top: (2) 4″ x 1″ …cut at 1″, repeat
    • For Pop-Up: (2) 4″ x 1-1/4″ …cut at 1-1/4″, repeat
    • For Front: (1) 4″ x 2-1/2″ …remaining piece

• DESIGNER (PATTERNED) PAPER: Decorative Band 1-1/2″ x 6″

ASSEMBLY

• SEE PHOTO 3: Temporarily place two main pieces together, with the 1-1/2″ folds upright and ‘kissing’ each other. Apply strong adhesive [Tear & Tape] to sides and bottom of one side to form the gift card pocket; press together.
• Adhere sentiment panels to inside, on both sides of pop-up
• Adhere designer paper centered to both sides of pop up and top, and front
• Adhere designer paper to cardstock band, centered. Wrap around holder (slightly loose so it’s easy to remove) and secure at front.
