Simple Matchbook Gift Card Holder

Create a Matchbook Gift Card Holder with Stampin Up Enjoy the Little Things -Mary Fish

I have a simple and sweet matchbook gift card holder for you today using new products from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.  I shared a holiday version of this matchbook gift card holder previously here.

Stay tuned!  I’ll share a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial with you tomorrow to walk you through the simple steps of making the matchbook.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • I cropped Thick Whisper White Card Stock to 3 1/8″ x 8 5/8″.  In my opinion, the thicker card stock makes for a stronger more substantial 3-D item.

  • I scored the short distance of my cropped piece at 3 3/8″, 3 3/4″, and 7 3/4″.
  • A yummy piece of Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon keeps the base of the matchbook together.

  • To keep the ribbon in place, I popped in a couple small circles on the back with my Stampin’ Up! 1/8″ Circle Handheld Punch and threaded it through.

  • Love this pretty presentation!  A standard sized gift card tucks neatly inside.
  • Hover and Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. See ALL my product photos in one spot on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

  6. Hi Mary, I absolutely am crazy about the photopolymer stamps. In fact, I would not mind if all stamps were photopolymer. Thank you for your video on how to store them. It will certainly make life a little easier.

    • Hi Cathy: Thanks for your feedback on the storage for photopolymer/clear stamps. Everyone has strong personal preferences on rubber vs. clear. However, I’m with you. I wish photopolymer was offered for all our stamps. I would get it every time for the crisp coverage and easy placement.. M

  7. Thank you, Kadie! That’s a huge compliment. I cropped 1″ in from each side with the handheld 1/8″ Circle Punch. Each spot was marked with an erasable pen first. Works like a champ.
