I loved creating this elegant gift card holder and matching envelope. These projects look fancy, but they are incredibly easy to make — perfect for any occasion when you want to add a special handmade touch.
Whether you’re gifting for birthdays, holidays, or “just because,” this simple fold and coordinating envelope make your card extra memorable. I hope you give it a try and share your creations with me!
Z-Fold Gift Card Holder Instructions
1. Base Card
• Cut a piece of cardstock to 4¼” x 11”.
• Score at 5½” (halfway) and again at 2⅛”.
• Fold on both score lines to create a Z-fold, turning the smaller front flap inward.
2. Inside Designer Series Paper
• Cut a piece of DSP to 4” x 5¼”.
• Glue this to the large inside panel of the card base.
3. Outside & Inside Small Panels
• Cut two pieces of DSP to 2¼” x 4”.
• Glue one piece on the front small flap (outside).
• Glue the other piece on the inside small flap.
4. Inside Sentiment Layer
• Cut a piece of cardstock to 2¼” x 4”.
• Stamp your inside sentiment on this piece.
• Layer it on top of the DSP inside the card (the panel opposite the gift card).
5. Gift Card Tab
• Use a circle punch to create a small half-circle notch on the edge of the inside sentiment panel or on an added pocket piece—where the gift card will slide in.
• Glue only the two side edges and bottom edge to create a pocket for the gift card.
(Leave the top open.)
6. Front Decoration
• Decorate the card front with:
• Your stamped sentiment
• Die-cuts
• Ribbon
• Gems
• This finishes your beautiful and easy Z-Fold Gift Card Holder!
