Gift Card Holder Card Using Sizzix Halloween Toppers

I think it's important to think of different ways to use the dies I have. I think the Sizzix Halloween Topper set is great, the sentiments included in the set are perfect for not only treat toppers but also Halloween cards but I wanted more from it than just treat toppers. I thought the topper looked like a gift card holder, that were the idea for this card came from.

This is what the card looks like opened. The polka dot paper is a pocket, when opened, the gift card holder pulls up out of the pocket and shows the gift card inside. In the video, I had used a glue dot to hold the gift card in place. I think if I had cut the polka dot paper a bit shorter, the holder would have fallen open. Next time.

The card base is 5.5" x 11", scored on the 11" side at 5.5". Fold on the score line. This is a square card.

This is the slider piece. It is 5' x 5.5", scored on the 5.5" side at 1 inch. This piece will hold the orange topper/gift card and slide up when opened. Fold on the score line.

On the left is the square card base. The right is the slider piece, folded, red double sided tape is on the 1 inch scored piece. Red tape is the strongest adhesive, great for making bags, boxes, too.

Take off the red tape covering, line the card up to fit inside the base, put the top of the slider piece all the way into the fold of the card base, close the card and the slider piece will attach to the card and move up and down when the card is opened and closed.

It should look like this when attached to the card.

I die cut the Sizzix Halloween Treat Topper from orange cardstock. I attached it to the top of the slider piece.

This piece is the pocket, I covered it with the polka dot paper. It is a piece of cardstock cut to 3 3/4" x 6 1/4". I probably should have cut it a smidge shorter than 3 3/4" so the topper would fall open. On the 6 1/4" side I score it at 1/2" and 5 3/4". Fold on these score lines. I then cut the polka dot paper to fit the front of the pocket.

I put red tape on the side tabs, line it up so the bottom of the slider piece can fit inside it. this pocket attaches to the bottom of the card base. The slider piece should move up and down when opened and closed.

I then attached all the sentiments to the front and inside of the card. 

In an earlier post I showed how I made the treat toppers for treat bags. 

Thanks for looking! I'm on Instragram @susanbcards
