Mini Magazine-style Card Holder

June's stamp club 3D project was this cute mini magazine-style card holder. It was super simple to make and a total crowd pleaser. And it holds approximately five cards with envelopes. Fill this holder with coordinating notecards for a perfect gift!

Start with a  9" x 12" piece of cardstock. Score the 12" side at 2" and 6 1/2". Score the 9" side at 3 3/4" and 5 1/4".

Holding the paper with the 9" side on the top, score between the two middle horizontal score lines at 1 3/4" from each side.

Trim the diagonals. Your paper should look like this:

Cut some decorative DSP and cardstock to embellish your holder.

Cardstock: Cut 2 pieces at 2" x 4 1/2" and 2 pieces at 1 1/2" x 2"

DSP: Cut 2 pieces at 1 3/4" x 4 1/4" and 2 pieces at 1 1/4" x 1 3/4"

Add sticky strip to the inside to assemble.

As a finishing touch, add a pretty embellishment. I choose to due cut a flower from the Botanical Builders Framelits.
