Todays video is for a gift card holder using the same basic measurements as my last gift card. This is a design which I have been using for the last five years. The gift card holder opens to show a secret message as you open the holder. The original idea for this gift card was by Stampin’ Suze and her videos are the reason that I am a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I fell in love with the products and the adhesive remover (I am a very very messy crafter, who used to get glue everywhere.) I have used some host DSP and also the Hey Birthday Chick Stamps and dies to create a perfect Birthday Gift Card holder, but this can easily be made in to an any occasion holder by changing the stamps and DSP.
The card above uses one layer of DSP.

As the card opens it reveals the message, only add strong adhesive to the sides of the flaps.
You can also use a base layer below the DSP if you like layers

I love the secret message which appears as you open the gift card holder, I think that it is an unexpected surprise. I love the chicks, I am so glad that they are available all year in the catalogue. My favourite is the chick with the Balloon, what’s yours?
