Step 1 |
First, cut the bottom of the cardstock for the box to 5½" x 6" [13.97 cm x 15.24 cm], then score and fold it in half to 5½" x 3" [13.97 cm x 7.62 cm]. Adhere the sides closed, but leave the top open. Set aside. |
Step 2 |
Cut a piece of cardstock to make the insert that will hold the gift card to 4¾" x 3½" [12 cm x 8.9 cm]. Lay the gift card in the middle and make a light pencil mark about ¼" [0.64 cm] in and down from each corner. Now connect the marks at each corner and cut a slit with the craft knife so that you can insert the gift card into the holder. |
