Love is in the air! Surprise the newlyweds with a Bride and Groom Pop Up Gift Card Folio made with the lovely "Our Wedding" Collection from Echo Park Paper. I'm Michelle Zerull and I know that gift cards are always an appreciated gift, but it's challenging to present them in a way that's unique. I believe that I have found a solution. What a surprise to open an envelope and discover a gift card that literally pops!
I like to take extra time to make wedding cards that are memorable. The cards are often treasured keepsakes of their momentous occasion. For this card, I used two sheets of both the "3X4 Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper as well as two sheets of the "Multi Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper to create unique layered embellishments that won't be found elsewhere. I used my detail scissors to selectively cut portions of the designs to layer using dimensional foam adhesive. I like the understated look of the pretty pink on pink element. Are you afraid that your fussy cutting might look too amateurish? Pro cutting tip: Cut slightly outside of the lines and then use a white or black coordinating pen to edge the paper. The pen makes it appear as if it is a perfect cut.
The interior is also adorned with a custom layered piece. The "Congratulations" element was cut from the "3X4 Journaling Cards" Patterned Paper before being trimmed to size, corners rounded, and layered with dimensional adhesive. As you can imagine, this Gift Card Folio has a bit of bulk with the gift card and pop up mechanism. To keep it looking neat and professional, I've added small pieces of magnetic tape for a closure. This will allow the folio to shut securely with a satisfying snap.
Decorative edges adorn both the outside as well as the inside. The decorative edges were made with the Our Wedding Just Married Edges Die Set. This die set comes with three different edges and will be fun to use on other projects throughout the year.
This gift card folio was originally designed for notes. By adjusting the size and using papers and embellishments from the Our Wedding Collection, I was able to transform it into a memorable gift for the happy couple.
