Gift Card Holder *slash* card

Hi everybody, I am on a roll!! Here is another challenge entry.

This time the challenge is over at More than Favors with Paula!  The Wacky Wednesday challenge this week is to create a project that can hold a gift card.

I made this gift card holder like a pocket card.  The cool thing is that instead of just a tag on the inside, there is a card that opens up to reveal the space for a gift card or cash to be slipped in.

Yep, no Cricut used here! :(

Here is the front of the card.  I used Heidi Grace paper and a pink card stock card base.

The pocket part of the card measures 4 1/2" x 11", fold at 5 1/2" and then fold down the flap at 1 1/2".

Patterned paper to decorate the front includes on piece 4" x 4" and one 1 1/4" x 4". I rounded the top corners with my corner chomper. When I sealed the sides of the pocket, usually I'd just use ATG tape, this time I used some foam tape so that it could accommodate the thickness of the gift card without being a tight fit.

The "tag" is a card that measures 5" x 3 1/2" (also with rounded corners) so the patterned paper for this piece measures 4 3/4" x 3 1/4".

The pocket measures 2" x 3 1/4" and is attached with ATG tape on the sides and bottom. You can kind of see that I attached the ribbon tag pull with a backwards brad.  I hid the wings of the brad with my bow on the front of the tag.

I added a little crocheted flower a good friend gave me, added some Queen & Co. pearls to set off the flowers center pearl.  The "Happy, Happy Birthday" and the "Enjoy" is from Scrappy Moms, Simple Sentiments set.
