Product Wednesday: Make 'n' Take

Hi, it's Lisa, back with your Product Wednesday post. Today I want to share a tutorial for a cute, quick make -n-take idea - a slit-latch gift card holder.

Step 1: Begin by cutting a strip of solid cardstock 3" x 10"

Step 2: Score cardstock at 5"

Step 4: Cut patterned paper 2 3/4" x 4 3/4"
Step 5: Distress patterned paper and adhere to card front

Step 6: Mark inside of card at 1" in and 1 1/2" down on both ends.

Step 7: Cut diagonal slit from marked spot down to bottom edge. Spin cardstock around and do the same on the other end, being careful to cut both slits in opposite directions from each other.
Step 8: Cut 2 strips of patterned paper 1" x 3"
Step 9: Fold patterned paper strip from center to create photo corners
Step 10: Trim off excess paper tails

Step 11: Using a credit card or gift card, slip corners onto card for proper spacing
Step 12: Apply adhesive to backs of corners
Step 13: Adhere corners, being sure to slide them outward slightly so that the gift card will be able to be easily slid into place.

Step 14: Adhere sentiment and any embellishments to front of card; latch card closed with slits

Enjoy!

Supplies used: American Crafts cardstock, Basic Grey Hello Luscious patterned papers and journal tag, Creative Imaginations acrylic stamp
