Peaceful Christmas Gift Card Holder
Here are the directions:
Card Base:
Real Red cardstock: 8 1/4" x 3 3/4" Score at 2", and at 3 3/4" (Fold score lines to center of card)
Shaded Spruce Checked Patterned Paper - 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" & 2 3/8" x 3 1/2" Attach to front flaps of card.
Using Tear and Tape adhesive adhere edges of larger flap to card base to create gift card pocket.
Card Insert:
Basic White cardstock 2 7/8" x 3 1/2" Stamp trees on top of card with Shaded Spruce ink
Belly Band:
Real Red cardstock 1" x 8 1/2"
Shaded Spruce Check Print - 7/8" x 8 1/2" I used the envelope flaps that I had leftover from other alternate projects and trimmed pieces to 7/8" and attached them to the Real Red cardstock with Stampin' Seal adhesive. You can also use Shaded Spruce cardstock if you want to save your envelopes for another alternative project.
Wrap layered belly band around closed card and attach ends with Tear and Tape Adhesive on the front side of the card so the circle layer will hide the ends. Trim as needed.
Real Red Sheer Ribbon - wrap around belly band layer and tie a bow.
Using the circle punch from the kit flip it over to the white side and stamp sentiment and trees with Shaded Spruce ink. Attach to belly band with Stampin' Dimensionals. Making sure that it doesn't attach to the gift card holder.
Embellish card with Subtle Simmer Sequins.

November’s Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin Kit is offering a fun holiday gift-wrapping solution! While the cellophane bags in this kit are food-safe, the packaging is sized for both treats and gifts. Have fun with the festive designs of each box—a sweet snowman, a tree with all the trimmings, or a playful pile of presents—and surprise your friends and family with treat and gift packaging that even Santa would be jealous of! The kit contains enough supplies to create nine treat packages—three each of three designs—and nine food-safe bags.
