This is one of the cards we made in my February classes at The Craft Box and in my Craft Room. I also used it in January when some demo friends and I did a shoebox swap at my friend Tina's craft house! A very easy card and perfect for a gift card from your favorite coffee shop! The card was done in two different versions -- one with bling and one without, so you can gussy it up for a girl, or make it a little less girly for a guy.

1.
Adhere
4-2/8” x 2-3/4” DSP to 4” x 3” Early Espresso card stock, leaving 1/2” overlap
at the top (see photos).
2.
Apply
adhesive to flap, position on 5-1/4” x 4” Crumb Cake card stock, fold over and
adhere flap to back of Crumb Cake card stock (see photos).
3.
Adhere
Crumb Cake card stock to 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” Early Espresso card stock.
4.
On
3-3/4” x 2-3/4” Very Vanilla card stock, use Stampin’ Trimmer to cut a slit
1-1/4” from each short edge, leaving 1/4" on each side. Insert gift card through slots (or make a
3-1/2” x 2” placeholder to slide through).
Adhere to Crumb Cake card stock under flap created in Step 2 above,
being sure to leave area under center section between two slits unglued. (See photos.)
5.
Tie
Linen trim around top flap as shown in samples and tie in a knot or bow near
left side; secure knot with Glue Dot.
6.
Use
black ink to stamp large coffee cup on Very Vanilla card stock; use Big Shot
and dies to cut out coffee cup; also cut a coffee cup lid from Early Espresso
card stock. Use Calypso Coral to stamp
sentiment on coffee cup; adhere lid to top of cup with a thin line of Liquid
Glue. Adhere coffee cup to top flap of
card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
7.
Adhere
3-3/4” x 1” strip of Early Espresso card stock near bottom of card; adhere
3-1/2” x 3/4" DSP over Early Espresso.
8.
For
bling card, use Glue Dots or other adhesive to adhere sequins randomly on card;
for more masculine look, use Early Espresso ink to stamp coffee beans randomly.
That’s it!. When you're ready to use the card, replace the "placeholder" gift card with a real one.
I hope you enjoyed this project!
