Gift Card Gift Bags!

These little bags are the perfect way to hide a gift card!  They are approximately 4-1/2" x 4" x 1-1/2" when finish and are compatible with both the 12x12 and 8x12 mats.  When the recipient lifts the bag flap, the gift card lifts up to reveal itself!  There is even room behind the gift card to place an additional small gift, like a pack of gum or chocolate or you can place in the receipt for the gift card in case they should need it! 

The Merry & Bright portion is a print and cut.  You can still cut out this piece without printing if you'd like, it will just not have the sentiment/design on it.

The Merry and Bright Gift Card Bag has a print and cut portion.

Here is the tutorial:

1.  Cut out the pieces of the file.  Fold on all the score lines.  For the main box, place adhesive on the side tab.  If you need help with the print and cut portion of the Merry and Bright label, click here.
2.  Bring the box edges together and adhere in place.
3.  For the bottom of the box, bring the slot tab down then fold the two side tabs in.
4.  Press the tabbed side into the slot to close.
5.  Pinch in the two side.  Your box should look like this now.  
6.  Push in the box top into the slot.  
7.  Place adhesive along the top edge (near the score line) then around the outside edge as shown.  Do not place adhesive on the cut flap area, that is what will tuck inside the box to close it.
8.  Adhere your decorative panel on, centering.
9.  Next place your gift card in the tabs of the insert and then place adhesive on the long top tab on the back.  
9.  Match up the top edge of the insert to the top flap of the box and adhere as shown.
10. If you are going to add in a handle, simply cut a piece of ribbon (or twine), make a loop then tie it in a knot.
11. Slide your knot around so it is under the gift card insert and not showing.

Embellish and decorate as desired!
