Bus Driver Appreciation Week

It's Bus Driver Appreciation week at Mulberry Elementary. Being the happy stamper that I am, I volunteered to make 17 Thank You cards/gift card holders and wanted to share the project with you.

The basic fold for this card is simple. You can dress it up with different papers and images and end up with a variety of looks.

Here's the step by step:
  • Start with a 4"x12" piece of textured Sage Shadow card stock
  • Score at 2.5" and 8"
  • Using a circle punch (I used the 1 3/4" punch), punch about a half circle out of the end
    that you scored at 2.5" (this becomes the pocket for your gift card)
  • Fold the 2.5" piece up and secure with brads
  • Fold the 4" piece down and decorate as desired. I covered mine with Autumn Vine Designer Series Paper (retired)
  • Attach stamped image or greeting to top flap. I used Defining Alphabet and Define Your Life
  • If desired, stamp additional greeting on pocket. I used the For You sentiment from All Holidays.
  • Voila! Quick and easy gift card holder




I hope you enjoyed this project. Until next time - Happy Stamping!
