Step 1 of 21

Tear this paper from the Tulip Charm paper pad, and cut to 6 3/4 x 4 3/4".

Step 2 of 21

From the leftover paper, cut a piece 3 3/4 x 4 3/4"

Step 3 of 21

Cut this on the diagonal, as shown here. This will be a "pocket". 

Step 4 of 21

Ink up the Rose stamp, from the Rose & Petunia Stamp And Die Collection, with the Onyx Black Versafine. 

Stamp it randomly over the patterned paper. The idea is to get a distressed effect, so I held the stamp in my hand and stamped loosely on to the paper, ensuring I also stamped off the edges. 

Step 5 of 21

Repeat the previous step, on to the diagonal piece of patterned paper. 

Step 6 of 21

Use a black pen to draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around the patterned paper. 

Step 7 of 21

Draw the same decorative, wiggly frame, around your diagonally cut paper. 

Step 8 of 21

Apply double sided adhesive tape, or wet glue, down the side, and along the bottom, of the diagonally cut paper. 

Step 9 of 21

Adhere your "pocket" in place, on the patterned paper, so the top edge of the pocket is open (as shown here with my pokey tool placed in the top, for visual reference only ). 

Step 10 of 21

Adhere this on to the front of your black, top folding card blank, and set to one side. 

Step 11 of 21

Tear this sheet of paper from the Tulip Charm paper pad. 

Cut TWO pieces, both measuring 6 x 6". 

Step 12 of 21

Adhere them back to back, so you now have ONE sheet of 6 x 6" double sided paper. 

NB: You can use a different, double side paper pad instead, missing this step out!! I don't have a double sided paper pad, so this is an alternative way of getting the same result. 

Step 13 of 21

Score your double side paper in HALF, and fold it, using your score tool to get a good, crisp edge.  

Step 14 of 21

Turn your paper 45 degrees in your scoreboard, and score at 1 1/2".

Fold and use your score tool to get a good crease. 

This is how it should now look. 

Step 15 of 21

Cut up from the bottom, along the centre score line, up to the horizontal score line ONLY (as seen here). 

Step 16 of 21

Cut a litte piece off both the inner side edges of the bottom flap, as shown here, to create a "triangle". When folded up, this will take away the bulkiness of the centre fold line. 

Step 17 of 21

Place wet glue, or double sided adhesive tape, along the FOUR vertical sides, of the bottom flaps ONLY. 

Step 18 of 21

Fold up the flaps, and allow the glue/tape to adhere, to create your TWO pockets. 

Step 19 of 21

Once the glue is dry, you can close your gift card holder.

Give all the score lines a good, crisp crease, with your bone folder. 

Step 20 of 21

Ink up the Rose stamp again, with the Versafine, and stamp on to the front of your gift card holder. I like my images to come off the edge, as shown here, but that's personal preference.

Step 21 of 21

To finish use a black pen to draw a decorative, wiggly frame, around the inside pages, and pockets. 

You can place gift cards, photos, seed packets, etc, in the pockets, as gifts for your recipient. 

You made it!
