Instructions:
- Cut your paper to size.
- Use liquid glue to adhere the 5 ¼ x 3 in DSP to the top of the card front.
- Cut a wave across the top of the 5 ¼ x 1 ¾ in DSP to mimic a rolling hill. Use liquid glue to adhere this to the bottom of the card front.
- Inside Gift Card holder:
- Use a circle punch to create a thumb hold on the top of the 5 ¼ x 2 in DSP gift card bottom. Use liquid glue to adhere the sides and bottom of the gift card bottom DSP onto the top portion of the inside of the card. Place a gift card in this spot to create a pouch effect.
- Score ¼ in across the from the top of the 5 ¼ x 2 in DSP gift card top. Adhere this small fold across the top of the inside of the card.. This will enclose the gift card so it doesn’t fall out.
- Use Stazon Ink to stamp a cow from the “Cute Cows” stamp set using your scraps of Basic White.
- Use a Blender Pen and colored pencils to color in the cow. Fussy cut out the cow.
- Use the Bee Builder Punch to cut out a word bubble.
- Use Stazon Ink to stamp the sentiment “It’s your special day” onto the word bubble.
- Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the cow and word bubble to the card front.
- Use Stazon Ink to stamp a cow from the “Cute Cows” stamp set and a flower onto the 4 x 5 ¼ in Basic White.
- Use Shaded Spruce Ink to stamp “Hope your Birthday is wonderful” from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set onto the center of the 4 x 5 ¼ in Basic White.
- Use liquid glue to adhere this to the lower part inside of the card.
- That’s it! You’ve made a beautiful card with a gift card holder!
