Firstly, apologies for slipping Tutorial Tuesday into Wednesday this week…the kids are home from school and with Thanksgiving ahead the time has flown by!
This week I am going to show you a cute way to package some cards to give as a gift – it’s a Concertina Card Holder and is perfect for almost anyone – you can create cards for a few occasions and give them in a functional but beautiful case. The case features 3 dividers to keep each card type separate and it is very easy and fun to make…
Please read on for more details plus the link to the printable tutorial showing you how to make this and details of this week’s Blog Candy…
My base colors that I used for my Card Holder are Whisper White and Peach Parfait…the Designer Series Papers that you can see on the front and lid are from the beautiful pack Sunny Garden. The lid is attached to the base by a piece of ribbon – I used Whisper White Taffeta – but you could also use a magnetic closure or velcro if you prefer.
Un-tie the ribbon and the lid opens up to reveal the inside – there are actually 4 compartments there each separated by a cardstock divider. I stamped my card categories using stamps from the set Fabulous Phrases and punched each out using my Round Tab Punch.
The inside and side panels are made using DSP from the In Color Patterns DSP Stack – again, in co-ordinating Peach Parfait…you simply fill your compartments with a few handmade cards and there is one beautiful gift for a lucky recipient…

Thanks for sharing the tutorial for this neat and very useful card holder. Would love to see your coordinated cards. Have several friends who would love a gift like this, including my hairdresser. Happy Thanksgiving!
Sarah, since it is Thanksgiving Eve, I wanted to take time to thank you for not just this tutorial, but for the many that you share throughout the year. It is so kind of you to freely offer your great ideas to us, and in a printable format! I know that you have made life much easier for many, many of us who are perhaps less creative or less math/tech savvy than you. So, THANK YOU, SARAH!! May your blessings be many.. today and always.
What a great project. Would make fabulous gifts.
As the cold reaches us in Ohio, this is certainly a great project to put a little “sunny garden” back in our lives! The colors are beautiful and go wonderfully with yet another awesome project from you. I hope you and your family have a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.

Sarah, once again you have created a jaw-dropping project that I cannot wait to try! Happy Thanksgiving!
i love it!!!you could fill this baby with some hand made cades and give it as a gift.
Or with the holidays here i thought this would be a fun way to give the family holiday recipes to a granddaughter who is now doing her own thanksgiving or a new daughter-in-law ect. you could label them desserts,side dishes,ect. how fun:)
thanx so much
Great project!!!
I absolutely love this. It is such a great idea for a gift. I love making boxes so I am definatley going to try this one. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas.
WOW ! I was so thrilled to see this great card holder. I made a set of cards for each of my “Cruise Girls” friends for Christmas, but hadn’t come up with anything I liked to put them in. This fits the bill perfectly ! Thank you so much for sharing your talents !
Just got back into town (ahh, having access to the internet again is a good thing!). This is a wonderful idea – I’m always looking for clever handmade gift ideas (plus the added bonus of organization with this one!). Thanks for sharing!
