Teacher Gift Card Holder

Welcome to another adventure in paper crafting. Recently I was ask if I could create a gift card holder for a movie gift certificate, based on an idea. So... away I went to my crafting supplies to see what I could create. I pulled out the paper, circuit
cartridges, inks and glue and away I went. Below is what I came up with and I have added the measurements and items I used if you want to create the same project.

Instructions:
 1. Gift card Pocket: 1- 8 1/2 x 11 red cardstock.  Using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge I cut a 6 inch Card using the Tag5 image on page 70. When the image I cut there will be a flap that you will need to fold to the right to create the pocket. Glue the bottom and the left edge of the pocket and press down to make sure it's glued closed.

2. "Popcorn":  Cut  five 1" and 2" Flower5 on page 48 from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricuit Cartridge using white cardstock. I then inked the flowers with Crème Brulee Ink from CTMH. Glue the popcorn pieces on both the outside of the pocket and peaking out of the inside of the pocket. To give it a 3d effect layer the popcorn and us pop dots on the inside of the pocket.

3. "Thank You Ticket Stub"  Cut a 1" Rctangle4 found on page 25 from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricuit Cartridge using white cardstock. I then stamped the Thank You Image from the "Frames, Tags and Borders" stamp set that comes with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. The ink I used was CTMH Chocolate

4. "Star": Cut a 3" star found on page 67 of the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge out of yellow card stock

5. "Movie Strip": Cut 2" movie strip fround on page 67 of the CTMH Artiste Cricuit Cartridge out of black card stock.

Once all pieces are cut assemble them as shown below and you have your very own Movie Gift Card Pocket to give to a friend, teacher or whomever on your gift list!
