Gift cards are not my usual present of choice but after making some fabric envelopes I want to buy everyone some plastic to their favorite shop.To start off, I found an envelope where I liked the size and shape then carefully took it apart and used that as my template.
Cut out a piece of fabric & single sided interfacing slightly larger than than the envelope. Iron them together. Next, Pin fabric/interfacing to envelope template & cut out. Iron the fabric again where the envelope will fold. Lastly, use fabric or hot glue to adhere the seams together. Don't glue it shut though. :)
For the flower embellishing above, iron fabric to a thick interfacing (about the thickness of felt) then die cut the flower shapes (I used the Big Shot). Add a cute jewel brad for the center.
For the inside of the card, cut a piece of thick interfacing & fabric that would fit inside the envelope then iron together. Last, I added a cute doily from my Girls Loft kit and another strip of fabric sewed on top to hold the gift card in place.
To make these flowers, first, die cut or hand cut about 8 layers. (My trusty Big Shot came in handy again.)
Cut about a 3/4" circle of felt. (That's what you'll use as the base of the flower.)
Next, fold flower in half then fold in half again. Last, use hot glue and adhere the folded point to the felt. Continue adding folded flowers until you are happy with the blossom. I used about 8 for this flower but have also used 4 and added a button center that was really cute too. It just depends on what you like.
For the heart below cut a square of fabric and thick interfacing then iron them together. Next, cut out your heart. Then sew along the envelope's edge. Last, glue the heart to the top flap of the envelope.
For this one I hot glued my favorite fabric letter stickers to the envelope for a simple touch.
Enjoy, and use them for sweet notes & cozy messages.

Wow, just came across your blog and loved this idea of fabric envelopes. I am away to look through my fabric to see what I can make.
Thanks for sharing/
I know this is an old post, but my cousin pointed me to it, saying one of these flowers might look good on the headband I made my daughter for Easter. Sure enough, the carnation-type flower is the perfect size for a toddler headband. It looks great! Thanks for the quick tutorial!
I really liked your blog and would like to know more about the topic

Lizzy,
THANK YOU so much for the wonderful ideas!!! I knew i wanted to do fabric envelopes for my sister's bridal shower, but was stumped on the invites. After googling for awhile, I found your gift card holder with the doily. I HAD to use it!!!
We were using doilies for a couple of other projects for the actual wedding, but it hadn't crossed my mind to use them for he shower too! Not only did it become our invitation, but also our menus on the table!!
i have decided that everything you make is adorable!! i just posted pictures, if you want to take a peek...
