This card is made in the usual 4.25" x 5.5" size, lined with any pretty paper you wish. The 2 gift card 'holders' are cut at 5.25" x 4" and scored at 1", 2", and 3" parallel to the 5.25" side. Adhere the first folded square 'tube' to the bottom and back of the open card. Adhere the second 'tube' to the first tube to the bottom of the card and ALSO to the other tube just a bit on each end so the gift card can still slide in between them.
When the card is closed, the tubes fold flat and keep the gift card held between them! Here is a pic of the closed card, secured with an embellished belly band over an attached strip of pretty paper. On this card, I used wide grosgrain ribbon for my belly band - you could also use cardstock.
Such a fun way to deliver a gift card! I hope you give it a try this year!
