It has been a while since I made a card but I had a little time to make one today. Every since DH retired in 2014, I been spending more time with him and less time in the craft room. I still need to get more organized and hope this winter to get some of it done.
Thank you Audrie for yet another great inspiration site. As soon as I saw this phone purse I knew what I wanted to try making a Gift Card holder with the Turnlock Closure. The butterfly was an easy choice to use because it can fold up, but I wanted to do a Christmas one also. I found the Peppermint Candy which worked just as well. I used a die from the Your Next Stamp Summer Fun Die set that was just the size I needed for the slot. You can also try using an I from an alphabet set. The candy is attached to a brad so you can turn it, fold the candy in half and slide it through the slot to open the Gift Card Holder. I used a scoreboard to score a quilted pattern to match the purse.
Thanks for looking

So Happy to see you in the gallery today, Irene! Cute gift card holders, but don't give them to a child because they will be torn before the right way to open them is realized! Oops! ; ) Love the score lines to make them look "Quilted"!
