Variations on Heather's theme

Heather at http://stampwithheather.typepad.com inspired my latest frenzy. Her tutorial on making gift card holders inspired me to vary her theme in lots of ways. It was really easy to follow (eventually I was able to fold the card holder without having the video playing right in front of me every time), and I just loved the personal touches. Her phone rang, she acknowledged a flaw in her paper, but came right back and finished.

My friends have loved these and wanted more! So today, the day after Thanksgiving, I am in my craft room, heater at my feet, drinking yet another cup of coffee (Caffe Verona, I love you), cutting and pasting and gluing and punching and coming up with alternative sources to double-sided paper.

I made a sample out of regular card stock and labeled exactly where each surface appears, then felt free to use regular paper on those quadrants.



So here's my offering, with a nod to Heather,  Pinterest, and Youtube, the best instruction manual around.
