Cut a piece of white cotton material to the size of your card stock. Adhere the fabric to the card stock using spray adhesive.

Next, you need to stiffen the fabric. I used a self-adhesive product called Phoomph but any type of interfacing that you would like to use would work. The Phoomph helps keep the fabric from fraying when cut which will be important because I am not sewing the edges.

I cut my fabric down then adhered it to one side of my phoomph. I then ran the fabric through my Sizzix with a die to get a rectangular shape. You can use scissors and a straight edge to get the same results.

Next cut a piece of felt to 4 inches by 6 inches which will be the actual envelope. Fold your felt around the gift card as shown below. Wrap loosely so you will have adequate room.

Turn over and find the center of the front. Mark for reference.

Add your saying to the approximate center.

Just peel away the liner and stick it to the felt. The shorter end should be up as this will be the flap you fold over on the back.

Use a zig-zag stitch to go all around your rectangle.

Now fold into position again around a gift card. Pin around the edges that you are going to sew. Also, put a few pins to mark the top of your gift card holder for graduates. We will be sewing across this top as well. Make sure the top flap is left open for sewing.

Sew all the way around again with a zig-zag stitch. Make sure the flap remains open.

Cut the back flap into a triangle shape. Sew on a button to the back and cut a button hole from the felt. Now, it's ready to gift!
