This is a simple A2 gift card holder.
The cake is from the Smiley Cards Gypsy download (so much fun). I hid the face (using my Gypsy) and used a super cute PK Princess face. I used Stickles on the flames. :) I used a MS punch for the borders. The stamp is Pink by Design Simply Everything.
The gift card holder on the inside was actually very simple. Here are the steps:
Take a 3 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper and score it at 4 inches from each end and fold (you will want to use a bone folder). The paper can be taller than 3 1/2, but has to be at least 3 1/2.
Take the 2 mountain folds and put them together making the letter 'M', or 'W' (depending on how you look at it). This will give you the tab that sticks out. (Pay no attention to my fingernail polish - I need to take it off)
Cut a line on the middle fold starting at 1/2 inch from the top to 1/2 inch above the bottom. It's easy if you mark it with a pencil.
Glue down each part of the tab at the very edge of the inside of the card. It will be a little short (doesn't go all the way to the middle), but that's what will help it stand up.
I thought it was simple yet different. :) I'd love to know what you think! :)
