In today’s Fun Fold Friday I’m going to share a new kind of gift card holder I had never seen before. I’m not sure where I’ve been because it’s been around for quite a while. It’s called the Twisted Gift Card Holder. Most tutorials I found were using 12×12 designer paper but I wanted to use a 6×6 paper pack. So here is what I did.

I’m using the Gingerbread & Peppermint products to create today’s project. The link to these products is at the bottom of the page.

Measurements

Old Olive Cardbase 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored and folded on the diagonal
Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Paper
White thick cardstock to create template 4″ x 10-1/2″

Instructions

To create the card base, score and fold the Old Olive cardstock 4-1/4″ x 11″ on the diagonal then fold in half creating pockets on the card front and inside.
To create the designer paper template for 6×6 paper, cut the 4″ x 10-1/2″ white cardstock on the diagonal. then flip top piece down like you were folding it on a score mark
Line up the two white pieces up against the back of the ruler and cut where the diagonals intersect
Label the 4 pieces

You can create layers by making your template again but with a 3-3/4″ x 10″ piece of white cardstock
Trace the template pieces on the different designer paper you desire. If you don’t want the tracing marks to show flip both the template and designer paper over.
Adhere the cut designer paper into their designated places
You can cover the front pocket or put the designer paper in place to keep it. (I chose to cover it)
then just decorate the front as you want.
