Designer's Choice 19 - Charming Card Holder With Ruth Hamilton

This die set makes a cute little pocket/envelope which holds 2 little cards or photographs. It can also be used in memory books, scrapbooks or as a gift card holder on the front of a card. I have made a video where I show you how to make up the basic card holder and also how to adapt the die set to make a pop up card which folds flat. You can see the video below.

Step 1

Die cut the largest die from white card. Burnish the score lines and fold in the right side and bottom tabs.

Step 2

Place Ocean Blue card just behind the centre part of the same die and cut out.

Step 3

Fold the centre part of the white card over to the right. Trim the piece of Ocean Blue card and glue to the centre part of the card holder.

Step 4

Fold over the top white section and glue the tabs onto the Ocean Blue card. I have held mine in place with mini pegs until the glue sets.

Step 5

vUse the top of the longest part of the same die with the little decorative insert and cut out. Snip to fit the top of the white card and glue in place.

Step 6

Use both dies shown to cut the decorative panel from Ocean Blue cad and glue to the front.

Step 7

Die cut the large outline die from Ocean Blue card and the medium sized panel from white card.

Step 8

Use the dies shown to make the decorative panels.

Step 9

Glue the decorative panels onto the plain panels. 

Step 10

Using the die shown, make a little stencil and randomly stencil all over a 10.5cm x 15cm rectangle of Ocean Blue card then glue this to the card front.

Step 11

Cut out the small lattice die from white card, trim down the sides and then snip into a v shape.

Step 12

Make 2 short tails and 2 longer tails as shown, glue them to the top right and bottom left of the card. Glue the card holder into the centre of the card at an angle and add Lady Liberty Stone Drops to the tails and the top of the card holder.

Step 13

Emboss the Best Wishes die into white card, cut out and outline the sentiment in black fine liner pen. Glue to the centre of the card holder.
