You can click on the photos to see them enlarged.

1. Start with a strip of Double Sided designer paper cut to 12"x4". Line up edge of 5 in 1 template as shown and trace around top.

2. After cutting around traced edge, use a bone folder to score along the straight line at the bottom of the rounded end (clear as mud?)

3.  Fold down rounded end, then fold opposite end up to scored/folded line

4. Using remaining scrap of paper trace and cut out a liner. Cut the remaining scrap to a 2"x4" piece. This will become your greeting pocket.

5. Apply snail or double sided tape to the two short sides and one long side of the 2"x4" piece. Adhere this along the bottom so that you have a pocket to slide your sentiment into. Also attach the liner piece to the top rounded flap.

6. Cut a piece of cardstock 3×3 3/4". Hold your gift card to the piece as a guide, and turning the slit punch over, punch on either side of the gift card. You will want to punch closer to the edge of the cardstock vs. the middle so that you have extra give when putting the card in.

7. Punch 2 holes in the crease of flap and slide a pice of ribbon through for your handle. You won’t need to glue these down or tie knots, as you will adhere the gift card piece directly on top – hidding the raw edges of the ribbon.

8. Create your sentiment card using a tab punch as a pull, slide in to your pocket, embellish as you choose and enjoy your completed project!

  7. This gift card holder is really fantastic! Love the purse and the pocket for a personal note. It can even be re-used by the person – they can keep their special note and put another one in the pocket. Keep the tutorials coming!!

  21. Jeanna, this is a great wallet and tutorial, many thanks! I have just made one using Christmas DP and I’m so pleased how it turned out. I made mine slightly differently – where you put a flower, I put a circle. I punched a small hole in the circle and threaded ribbon through so my wallet ties shut. I won’t always want to use a ribbon handle as I plan on giving some to male friends and family at Christmas.

  28. This is great, thanks for sharing.
    I think you could make this look manly bu adding a buckle instead of a flower.
    I cannot wait to try one for the guys in my family.
