Hello!  Tricia here with you today to share a back to school surprise for your favorite teacher, mom, dad, friend or family that will be helping you get through this crazy year!  I created this little chubby pencil gift card holder with a cute tag!  

I made the gift card holder with the Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator and Stitched Squares Confetti Cuts.   I die cut three of the Scalloped Bag from Sunshine cardstock.   I scored at 3/8 inch on both pieces at the bottom and attached together with adhesive.   To build the pencil and the eraser I used the Stitched Squares and die cut from Sand, Midnight, and Rose cardstocks.   

For the eraser, I trimmed it down to fit the scalloped bag.  I left the stitching on the top of the eraser.   I then added a small skinny strip of Stone cardstock.   For the pencil part, I cut the square in half.  I then adhered it to the scalloped end and trimmed the edges off.   I then trimmed the Midnight square corners off to create the lead.  I did it on both sides of the scalloped bag panel.  Here is a picture of the back panel.  


For the inside, I added a die cut Stitched Square from white cardstock and then trimmed down one of the Sunshine Scalloped Bag Panels and adhere it to the opposite side to create a pocket to hold a gift card.  


For the tag, I die cut Square Window Tag Confetti Cuts from Mist cardstock.   I stamped a sentiment from Best Sentiments with black ink.   The images are from Crafty Critters.   I stamped them onto Premier Polar White cardstock and then colored with my Copic markers.   I die cut the out with the matching Crafty Critters Confetti Cuts.  I adhered it with foam tape to the front of the pencil card and then added a button.   The little clip holds the gift card holder closed.   


I wish you all a crafty fun day!
