Pop-up Gift Card Holder Card

The idea for this fun Pop Up Gift Card Holder Card came from Lisa Curcio. You can read about it on her blog here: Wow Them With an Interactive Pop Up Gift Card Holder Lisa Curcio (lisasstampstudio.com). Lisa provided a pdf file with all the measurements for the card, so I used that to create a cut file in my Silhouette Design Studio software. I changed the sizing on the layers slightly to leave a little more of the red base card showing. It was convenient to be able to cut and score all the pieces using my Silhouette Cameo 4. I have uploaded the file to the Silhouette Card Making and Paper Crafts FB group if anyone would like the free file for the card base and layers. This design could work well for any holiday/birthday where you'd like to give someone a gift card or insert a decorative tag. 

I used some festive design paper to coordinate with my red and green card stock layers. Then I used SU!'s Merriest Moments bundle to stamp the "Joy" sentiment on the front (the book-shaped die is a Spellbinders die) and the poinsettias, leaves, and "Thinking of you this festive season" sentiment on the inside of the card. I embossed the white background panel on the inside of the card using a Tim Holtz 3D embossing folder called "Pine Branches." 

I chose this card design because I purchased a Target gift card for one of my nieces as her Christmas gift and I needed a card that could hold the gift card. This one is a pretty design that works well for that. Thanks, Lisa Curcio!
