You will sure to impress with this Card. You can really have fun with mixing DSP and Embellishments.

Here are the Directions;

With the short side, place a notch at 3 1/2" (rotate the piece and notch again at the same measurement). Using a paper trimmer place the side notch and the end notch on the cut line and slice a diagonal line, repeat on the other side. Score a diagonal line from the corner notch to the inner scored line, repeat on the other side creating a cross or "X". Then repeat this "X" on the other side of the piece.

Your Score Lines should look like this....

Crle Envelope- Fancy FoldGift Card Holder

Circle Envelope Gift Card Holder

This Envelope/ Gift Card Holder is made from 4 circles, isn't that amazing? And it's so very simple and fast to create. I used a 3 1/2" circle die for this size envelope, but you can use Any round object around the house that measures 3 1/2", a plate, can, jar, etc.. To decorate the flaps I used a slightly smaller die and Designer Paper. You can embellished it with stickers, ribbon, tags anything that you have. You will have a lot of fun making these.
