Good morning to all! Allow me the liberty of a little play on words here, but we truly do have a “pitcher perfect” set of belly banded gift card holders for today. SO fun to make up for any season and any reason, but these done up in black, red and green by Esther are just STUNNING! And remember, we have a sitewide 20% OFF right now with code DECEMBER20.

Esther made two coordinated gift card holders using a fold that has been a favorite of mine for longer than I can remember. Complete instructions are just a bit further down!

The pitcher on the belly band is from All Season Decor by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sprigs are cut with Floral Cluster and Springs, part of the Floral Cluster Series by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

That fabulous paper is from Happy Christmas by Carta Bella.

And here’s the how-to from Esther:

• Cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4″ x 6 3/4″
• Score and Fold at 2″ and 5″
• Cut some designer paper to decorate 
  • for the bottom flap 1 3/4″ x 4″
  • for the top flap 1 1/2″ x 4″
• Adhere decorative strips and cut a small notch in the center of the bottom flap using a circle punch
• Glue the sides of the bottom flap down to form a pocket
• Stamp a sentiment inside the top flap
• Cut a white strip of paper for the band 1 1/4″ x 7″
  • Score at 2″ and 5″ – fold around gift card holder gluing ends together
• Decorate the band

And here they are completed and opened up to see inside.

The Merry Christmas stamped on the top inside flap is from Merry Christmas by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Esther stamped with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne.

What a fun project for those last minute gift cards or cash!

Thank you so much, Esther, for this lovely project and the detailed instructions.

I know I need to make several of these up yet myself!

You can find Esther’s post on her blog here.
