12 Days Of Christmas: Day 12 - Gift Card Scallop Envelope

On the 12th day of Christmas my SU Demo taught me...

How to make how to make a scallop envelope to fit a gift card for someone lucky!

Finally its day 12!!!  I hope you all have been enjoying my tutorials.  I also hope that they can be of good use to you as you finish up your holiday preparations.

Today's Tutorial will hopefully help you with wrapping your gift cards.

Supplies:

Big Shot
Scallop Envelope Die
6x6 piece of DSP of your choice, and a few scraps of dsp
Coordinating Cardstock
scrap piece of Whisper White
Coordinating Ribbon
sticky strip
scissors
paper trimmer
scallop circle punch
1 1/4" Circle Punch
1 3/8" Circle Punch
to/from stamp from Punch pals
Dimensionals

Directions:

1.  Fold your dsp in half and line up the fold on the scallop envelope die, counting from the right 4 1/2 scallops over, you want your fold to line up very straight with the envelope die, ***TIP, you could use a ruler to check the distance from the edge of die to the folded edge of the dsp.

I took a photo of the top of the die, with the left over piece of dsp so that you could see better the scallops and where to line your dsp up. Click on the photo to enlarge

2.  Fold open your scalloped envelope, at this point if you wanted to, ***TIP, you could take a paper piercing tool and push in the dashed lines so that they all face the same way when you are looking at the outside of the envelope

3.  Fold in the sides of the scallop envelope

4.  Fold up the bottom of the envelope and adhere it to the side tabs

5.  The gift card will fit in nicely to this envelope.

6.  Close the gift card and using a strip of dsp 5 1/2" long and approx 2" wide.  use sticky strip to adhere it around the scallop envelope as a belly band, this will also help hide the fold that was created in extending the envelope.

7.  Wrap a length of ribbon around the belly band, tie it and trim the ends.

   

8.  Punch a scallop circle out of the coordinating cardstock

9.  Punch a 1 3/8" Circle out of dsp, i used the same dsp as the envelope

10.  Adhere this circle to the scallop circle

   

11.  Stamp your to/from image on a scrap piece of white cardstock

12.  Using the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, punch out the words, you want to make them off to one side so that you have room to write

13.  Adhere this to the scallop circle

   

14.  Add some dimensionals to the back of the scallop circle.

15.  Add this to your belly band just under the ribbon.
