"tag" style gift/money holder

I wanted to make a few gift/money holders for the craft fair, I originally hoped that I could use the Tim Holtz tag die, but it's just shy of what I needed..  I did however use the reinforced holes from the die for the ribbon to slide through.  Since I couldn't use the die, I ended up nipping the corners with my crop-a-file corner chompers.

I was able to get three card holders from on 8.5x11 piece of card stock (each piece is 3 5/8x7.5).  I used Sizzix/Holtz "Holly & Berries" the embossing is a Cuttlebug "distressed stripes" ran the ink pad over the embossing versus letter letterpressing.

 I used the SU tab to help seat the gift, and then set the gift card in and scored 1/8" from the top of the gift card, and then folding it over, scored again 1/8" above the folded piece to ensure it closed nicely.  I could have set the score lines, but I was not consistent in lining the tab at the bottom…  Improvise, adapt, overcome - not just for the marines but CRAFTING!

A FIFTY - LOL… as if…!!!


I have included a glue dot to help secure the gift.

I used up a little more of my stash (HOARD)…  hahaha...
