I am continuing my gift card holder examples. Todays gift card holder is made using a simple pocket. This is one of my favourite designs from the absolutely fabulous Angie Juda, from ChicNScratch. Her original video can be found here. This is one of the easiest holders and I have tweaked the measurements, so you can make 4 from 1 piece of A4. I love that you can choose your own decoration and that they can be as simple or complicated as you want to make them. I have decorated all my examples for Christmas, however they can be altered for any occasion by changing the colours and punches.
The measurements are below:

Tips and Tricks
Use a strong adhesive to ensure that the pouch stays in place.
Take a smidge off the bottom so that the bottom flap can fold up.
Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! don’t have any clips in the Catalogue, I used some retired clips and some pegs from my stash. Some of the pegs were plain and I coloured them with my Real Red blend, the others were metallic pegs and I think that they look good with the heat embossing. My question is do I need more bling?
