Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges Theme: Pets Challenge #39

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #039. Today's challenge is 'Pets'.

I used the challenge to create my animal loving Grandson a card for his birthday. The two dogs represent the family's two much loved Labradors. They are always tussling with each other and falling over each other to get to the back door for the first pat. For this reason I have entwined them on the card.

For my teenage Grandchildren's birthdays I like to give gift card vouchers so I am always on the look out for gift card holder designs. At my last Onstage I was given a clever pop-up gift card holder as a swap. I have altered the measurements so I could insert my gift card inside. This is the outside of the card. 

When the card is opened the inside pops up to reveal the concealed  gift card from a pocket inside the card.

I have stamped the inside so the card isn't plain once the gift card is removed. The gift card fits over the Happy Birthday stamping.

Instructions are as follows:

Base card stock: 12.5cm x 25cm scored at 6cm and 17.5cm along long side.

Whisper White inside insert: 12.5cmx 9.5cm scored at 3.5cm and 11cm along long side.

Top front panel stamped Whisper White card stock: 11.1cm x 5.6cm.

Lower front panel DSP: 11.1cm x 7.1cm.

After scoring base card trim off 5cm each side from 17.5cm score line to top of card.

Fold in remaining 5cm on either side forming tabs on either side. Fold base up from lower score line and adhere 5cm tabs to card to form a pocket.

Adhere top edge of Whisper White inside insert to top inside edge of top flap. Fold Whisper White insert up along 1cm lower score line. This holds the gift card in place when the card is opened to stop it from being left behind in the pocket. Next slip the folded Whisper White card stock piece into the pocket and insert gift card into the slot.

Stamp to decorate as desired.
