Juicy cherries and a sparkly ‘hello’ grace the front of this Double Z Fold Gift Card Holder. The card expands to reveal a gift card and a place for a handwritten message. I used pieces of Poppy Parade and Basic White cardstock for this project. All the rest of the elements are from the June 2024 Life Is Sweet Paper Pumpkin Kit.

step by step instructions
I cut one of the Pretty in Pink patterned card bases from the kit down to 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″. NOTE: I’m using an iTunes gift card, which is smaller than other gift cards. If your gift card is standard size, cut the patterned paper to 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″.
Cut the other pieces of cardstock as noted in the guide above. Z fold both the Poppy Parade and the Basic White cardstock pieces.
Place the Poppy Parade card base on your work surface with the short panel end towards the top. Place the Basic White panel on your work surface with the longer panel end towards the top. The z-folds should match in direction. Slide the Basic White panel over the Poppy Parade base. Apply liquid glue to part of the Poppy Parade panel and adhere the Basic White in place, leaving the same border around both sides and top. Fold the Basic White Panel back and add liquid glue to the back of the short bottom panel. Adhere to the base.
Adhere the Pretty in Pink layer to the top of the front Basic White panel. Add the cherries from the kit with Dimensionals behind the leaves and liquid adhesive behind the cherries. Cut up Dimensionals and pop up the glittery ‘hello’ sentiment from the kit. Tie a double bow with the linen thread (also in the kit) and adhere with a wadded up glue dot. Stamp ‘sweet friend’ in Shy Shamrock on the provided banner and adhere to card front. Stamp ‘you’re truly amazing’ in Shy Shamrock on the inner panel.
I made a quick video and posted it over on my YouTube channel. Check it out!
