Gift Card Holder on a Burlap Background

 

Hello! Welcome back to the Blank Page Muse Blog. For today's card, I used the BPM Denim & Lace Digital Printable Kit. This is my second post in this month using this digital kit. If you are interested to see my first card using this digital kit, please head on to Birthday Card with a Gift Card Pocket.

I used one of the pocket digital print outs on my card. This page includes two pocket images. After I downloaded the page, I cropped the pocket image I used on my card. You don't have to. I just like to maximize my paper by collating all the images I will be using on a project. 

I resized this image to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". I used Word for Windows in editing the image. I set the margins to zero to maximize the area on the white lightweight cardstock.

The pocket print out has outlines included in the design for folding the image into a pocket. I scored on the line print outs.

The pocket print out also has a notch line printed as part of its design. I used a circle punch to create the notch but you can use scissors instead.

To create the burlap, I adhered a heavy weight kraft cardstock to a double adhesive sheet. 

I burnished the double adhesive sheet to the cardstock. I ran this through my die cut machine using a burlap die. With the adhesive on the back of this intricate die cut, it was easier to adhere it to an acetate and make it look like its floating.

For the sentiment, I prepped the digital print out for embossing using an anti-static powder tool. After stamping the sentiment using a black pigment ink, I poured clear embossing powder over it, then heat set it. 

I adhered glue to the sides of the small flap to create the pocket to insert a gift tag into.

I stamped a sentiment on the inner first flap of this gift card holder. I trimmed off an 8th of an inch from the top and bottom of this gift card holder before adhering it to the burlap background.

Doesn't that digitally printed burlap look real?

I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting the BPM blog.
