It is our Wedding Anniversary today…a bit overshadowed by the arrival of Miss Lizzy tomorrow but, we made sure that we took some time to exchange gifts.
I made him a coupon book inspired by Tater Tots and Jello’s Valentines to her family and a fold out gift card holder I saw while browsing through some blogs (for the life of me I cannot find the blog, so if it is yours, please e-mail me and I will link it up).
To make the gift card holder, take as many envelopes that you would like to use. The first envelope will not be a pocket but each additional one will be.
Starting with the first envelope, glue the flap of the second envelope to the back of the first envelope. It will create a nice front for your project and when folded out the pockets will all be facing up.
Follow with the 3rd envelope (pocket side up) and glue the flap to the back of the 2nd envelope. Continue with each additional envelope.
I tried to make a diagram to explain how to put the envelopes together. The red lines represent the back of the project.
Here is the finished project! I cut some paper the size of the envelope and others smaller so the pockets can be used.
I lined each pocket with cardstock and used my paper punches to make the edges cute.
The coupons were printed from Tater Tots and Jello site. I was able to change the wording from Valentines to Anniversary and change the wording for the coupons. I cut color coordinating paper to edge the coupons and then added a bit of ribbon secured by a staple.
I hope you enjoyed this little project! I had fun making it for my amazing hubby.
I will be away from my blog for a bit…Miss Lizzy is going to make her arrival between tomorrow and Friday! I am so excited to have another little one to take photos of!
Products Used: January Club SEI paper and embellishments, AC Thickers Felt Letters, The Twinery Twine in Cappuccino, CTMH Grosgrain Ribbon in Cocoa and White, and envelopes I had in my stash.
