Ok...so before you continue on just be forewarned that this is my first ever tutorial....and I don't know if it went so great! I hope that this doesn't completely confuse you!
If you are totally lost than leave a comment and I will try to update and clarify the directions!...here goes!
First just to make the basic card you will need one 4 inch x 12 inch piece of cardstock, your paper trimmer, a bone folder and sticky strip or some other adhesive.
Start by scoring you cardstock at the 4 inch & 8 inch marks. {your paper should be scored in 3 even sections}
Then you are going to score the middle square diagonally. You are going to score from top left to bottom right. {If you are using textured cardstock you will want to make sure the less textured side that you will want on the inside of the card is face up}...otherwise it doesn't matter.
Now you are going to fold your 3rd section. Fold it so it comes across the top of middle section that you scored diagonally.
Next flip your paper over.
Now fold the diagonal line back. You will be folding the middle section in half diagonally.
Fold the last section down.
Now you have your card. Last thing to do is tape down the part that will hold the gift card. I have a couple pictures of where to tape...but you will see after you get your card folded where it needs to be taped. Just make sure you don't tape the opening where the gift card will go!
Then just decorate it how ever you would like! Also a big THANKS to Patty for the awesome idea! She always does the cutest things on her blog!!! Check out her blog if you have a minute!!
