Kraft Bag Gift Card

With a few simple folds, a gift bag becomes a gift card holder.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut plain cardstock to 3 3/4" X 4 1/4" for the insert. Punch the top two corners with a corner rounder, if desired.

   

2. Step 2

   Stamp a greeting on the insert card.

   

3. Step 3

   Create pull tabs for the card insert and gift card using dies or punches. Adhere to the backs of the insert and gift card.

   

4. Step 4

   Score 3" up from the bottom of the kraft bag.

   

5. Fold the bottom of bag upward, and crease on the fold line with a bone folder.

   

6. Step 5

   Lay the folded bag atop the strip of patterned paper. Apply adhesive to one end of the paper.

   

7. Fold the patterned paper around on each side of the bag to create the belt or belly band. Adhere.
   
   TIP:
   Offset the seam a bit if needed to hide it behind the tag or other front treatment.
   

   

8. Step 6

   Create a tag or other treatment for the front.

   

9. Stamp a greeting on the tag and embellish as desired. For the sample, a dimensional blossom coordinates with the patterned paper.

   

10. Step 7

    Complete the project and tuck in a gift card, cash or tickets for gift-giving.

    

11. The gift card holder will fit in a standard A2 envelope if the tabs are not too high.
