Challenge Title: Gift Card Mini-book

Let’s make a sweet little book for your gift card.
With a 4” x 11” piece of card stock, score short at 2 3/4”, 5 1/2”, and 8 1/4”. Then score long at 3 1/2”
Stamp and color. Alternatively, do your art work on a separate panel or die cut to adhere after the book is assembled.
Fold the center score line and mark 1/2” on the fold. Cut diagonally through both thicknesses, from the first and third score lines on the edge to the mark, forming a V.
Create a “thumb hole” on the inside second section (from the left). I used a circle punch, partially cut. Or free hand it.
Trim the first, third and fourth segments at the 1/2” score, leaving a flap at the bottom. I cut inside the score lines on the flap, and rounded the corners.
Fold and burnish. With the inside facing up, the folds are valley/mountain/valley, with the flap folded away.
With right sides together, folded at 5 1/2, stitch, staple or tape the first and third score lines. i like to punch seven holes and thread floss, tying off with knots and beads.
Fold up the flap and glue. (Annotated template and samples are attached.)
Have fun with it! Maybe engineer a loop to hang it, or a belly band/ribbon to tie it closed. Fiddle with the dimensions. I've used a 12" strip to another one. .. or two...
