I love this pocket fold. I made one that I turned into a gift card holder. I added a bit of length to the bottom of the white piece, scored and folded the extra back up, creating a holder for the gift card. When the recipient pulls the card out, up pops the gift card with it! And, I added a ribbon to pull the card up.
Love that idea. Thank you for sharing.
