I recently got to spend some time in the craft room, I was playing with some ideas and had pondered whether I could use an envelope punch board to make a smaller gift card holder. I love the ones that I have made recently but they use half a sheet of A4 each. Todays gift card holder is sized so that, you can get 4 from 1 sheet of A4. I also love that the party hats are created using an ice cream cone builder punch. They are super cute, I first saw the idea on Patty Bennet’s blog. It uses the punch to create a hat and the trim.
Measurements:
Metric
Card - 10.5cm by 14.8cm
Score at – 4.5cm and 10.5cm
DSP and Inside White Panel – 4cm by 10cm
Imperial
Card - 4 1/8 inches by 5 ¾ inches
Score at – 1 ¾ inches and 4 1/8 inches
DSP and Inside White Panel – 3 7/8 inches by 1 5/8 inches
Tips and Tricks
choose a DSP which works in small areas
punch all the ice cream cones required
add an ice cream cone to a sticky note (this allows you to line up the ice cream punch and create the hat trim.
You could decorate the hats any way you wishes. I am hunting for some pom poms to add to the top of the hat, I think these would make the perfect embellishments. How would you decorate yours?
