How to create a pocket gift card holder, where the gift card is a surprise inside

Hi fellow crafters! In today's video I am going to show you how to create a super easy pocket gift card holders. There are many different types of pocket gift card holder - this one keeps the gift card a surprise for inside.  

I will be using my Quiet Meadow bundle, both the stamp set and the dies this time.

You will find flowers, background patterns, and greetings in the stamp set which you can pair with the beautiful wildflower dies. It is so much fun to mix and match the different pieces to get the right look.

 

Surprisingly, I am also using the Tidings of Christmas paper.

 

 

Yes, it is seasonal on one side but the other side can be used for non-Christmas projects as you will soon see.

 

Here's my pocket gift card holder - closed:

 

 

And here it is open:

 

 

The pocket is surprisingly deep so items other than gift cards will fit very nicely. 

 

Here's what you need to make this project at home:
