Santa Pop Up Gift Card Holder

This is one of the fun pop-up gift card holders we made at a recent class. When you put a gift card in a fun holder, it becomes a memorable gift. The belt buckle was inspired by a cool scrapbook layout by Lyssa Zwolanek. The belt holds the card shut and makes the perfect accessory to the card. Both the Deco Labels Framelits and the Silver Glimmer Paper I used for this project are on SALE until December 2nd, 2013!!!!

If you would like to make your own Santa Pop Up Gift Card Holder, just follow my step-by-step tutorial. All supplies for this project are available for purchase below. Click HERE to see the complete supply list.

Santa Pop Up Gift Card Holder Tutorial


Step One

Step Six

6. Fold the belt along the score lines and put two pieces of sticky strip on both of the ends.


Step Seven

7. Using the two smallest deco label framelits nested into each other, run a piece of Silver Glimmer CS through the Big Shot to create a buckle.


Step Eight

8. Cut the second smallest deco label out of Basic Black CS. Also punch a Word Window piece out of Silver Glimmer CS.


Step Nine

9. Adhere all the pieces of the buckle together using tombow multipurpose liquid glue. Remove the sticky strip liner from the belt and adhere the buckle to it, bridging the gap between the two ends.

Step Sixteen

16. Starting at the deco label hole cut a slot along the score line, just until the pencil mark. Note: cut along both sides of the score line so that the resulting slot is about 1/16” wide. Place sticky strip on both ends. Remove liner and fold piece in half along the score line.


Step Seventeen
