Fun Fold Fridays – Slide Up / Pop Up Gift Card Holder

Yessssss, Friday! And the second week in my new Fun Fold Fridays!

I’m featuring a slide up or pop up gift card holder. Not sure what this fold is actually called, but for now, this will work!

I’ve seen this version in a vertical version all the time, but not a horizontal one. I created one a few weeks ago here, but didn’t include a tutorial until today.

Here is a sweet little birthday card using some new stuff! This is the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper that can be earned free during Sale-a-bration –

And see it opened –

Notice the (absent) gift card that would ‘pop up’ in the pocket?

This is the sweet pattern paper I used –

And, here is the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle –

 

Here is how I did it –

Yes, my Green Paper Tutorials!

Directions for basic card with fold :

• Base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 1 1/2″, 5 3/4″
• Insert – 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 1/2″, 4″
• on slide up, apply strong adhesive, like Tear & Tape, to 1/2″ strip
• fold 1/2″ strip back
• fold up bottom panel, set aside
• on card base,  use a strong adhesive on lower edges
• fold score lines, top panel folds down, bottom panel folds up
• place insert panel on top of card base, remove liner on insert
• close card
• the top of the card will ‘catch’ the top of the insert panel
• open card
• fold up insert
• fold up card base over insert, open back up
• remover liners
• fold up card bottom panel enclosing the the insert
• close top, then open to make insert slide up!
• decorate as you like

Pretty cool, huh? I’ll venture to do a Facebook Live for this fold. It is really super easy, but I know some are visual, some are tactile.

I’d love to know what you think!
