Time to get those gift cards in the mail! Let them know that yes, you did want to do more for them but, THEY insisted that just wanted a gift card. Perfect! You can make many of these with one Pomegranate Martini close at hand. And no, I didn't invent this design. It's an original "case & copy" ;-)
Start off with cardstock trimmed to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score at 3" & 6". This is your holder so stamp it with any designs you want. Next, seal a white envelope, fold it in half and trim off about 1/2" from the two loose ends, NOT THE FOLDED END. This envelope is what forms the little pocket to hold a note card and a gift card. Tape the two sides of the envelope together in the middle. Adhere the envelope to the inside of holder. Wrap a belly band (1" x 8") around the holder and embellish as desired. Presto! You're done and ready for another cocktail.
I love this and it was fun, easy and quick to make! We gave gift cards to out of town family, so I put together a couple of this holders using different paper and stamps. I was happy to include something homemade and personal with such an unpersonal thing such as a gift card! They fit into a regular sized envelope:)
