Wow! Exactly what I need for the teachers at Middle School gifts. Would you be kind enough to email me the measurements too? Thanks so much! [email protected]

Instructions: Cut one piece of cardstock lengthwise in half sto that it measures 4.25" x 11.5" . Score at 4.25" and again 4.25" above that - now you have three sections. Cut the flaps - I used the simplicity punch and just cut straight accross where the first cut it produces. Use slot punch to use wide organdy - or eyelets if using grosgrain or gingham. Decorate. Use slit punch to hold gift card in place on center section. Tie closed. (easiest to get ribbon on top if you thread from top of flap down through slot, wrap down around bottom of holder and up the back and over the top - tie in front.)

Thanks for sharing the directions. What a nice way to give a gift card. I'm still wavering on getting this set before it retires. I feel like I'm starting to sway.
