Stocking Gift Card Holder

Hi Stampers!

Here is a cute stocking gift card holder.  This was Monday's Try a New Technique Challenge over on Splitcoast.  You can find the template, made by Claire Brennan, in the Challenge listing.  I traced the template onto a piece of Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper, using the reverse side for the toe and heel sections.  I layered the toe and heel with Whisper White card stock and used a Soft Suede Stampin' Write marker to add some faux stitching.

The top portion (the back template piece) is scored and folded to create the cuff.  I layered this with a strip of Soft Suede card stock and a piece of Whisper White card stock that had been punched with the Eyelet Border Punch.  I wrapped a piece of 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a bow. 

The greeting is from the set, Teeny Tiny Wishes, and is stamped in Soft Suede Classic ink (marker) and punched with the Word Window punch.  This is layered on a piece of Soft Suede card stock that was punched using the Modern Label Punch.

Lift the flap and you have a pocket to hold your gift card.  What a fun and unique way to  present a gift card!!
