It's My B-Day and I'll Quill if I want to Blog Hop!




Welcome to the It's My B-Day and I Quill if I want to Blog Hop!!

Happy Birthday to our Blog host Linda, today is her Birthday and guess what?? Mine is tomorrow!! Birthdays Rock!

For my project today I made a cute gift card holder mini purse!

Solid paper cut at 9 X3 3/4
Pattern Paper cut at 8 3/4 X 3 1/2


Adhere pattern paper to solid.
Score paper at 2 3/4, 3 1/4, 6 1/4 and 6 3/4


Bend all the score lines.


Add strip of tape to the longer side (bottom)


Using a glue dot adhere your gift card


 Add a strip of tape to the top score for ribbon. I cut my ribbon at 8" you can make it longer, I made mine short


Fold the bottom up over the gift card and add tape to the top.


Now you can add your embellishments:
