BEANIE HAT Gift CARD HOLDER

I made the Butterfly from the Cricut Cartridge Picturesque. I use pop- a-dots to pop the butterfly up.  I used the I-top (22 mm) topper punch to decorate the top of that hat. 

Here is the supplies to make this cute Beanie. 

Supplies:  

• One 5" circle out of solid card stock
• One 2-1/2" semi-circle out of patterned paper
• One 5-1/8" x 1-5/8" strip of solid card stock
• One 5-1/8" x 7/8" strip of patterned paper
• Paper Cutter
• Crop-a-Dile™
• Circle Scissors Plus, or any other tool that allows you to cut a 5” circle
• Edge Punch
• iTop Punch, or a circle punch and you can make the notches with scissors
• White Gel Pen
• One Brad
• One Eyelet
• Bow
• Double Sided Tape, 1/4" and 1/2" width
• Additional card stock for pom-pom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Directions:

Step 1
Cut the 5" Circle in half so that you are left with two 2-1/2" semi-circles.

Step 2
Adhere the 2-1/2" semi-circle patterned paper to one of the 2-1/2" solid card stock semi-circles and set it aside.

Step 3
Use a border edge punch on one of the long sides of the 5-1/8" x 1-5/8" strip of solid card stock

Step 4
and add some dashes using the white gel pen.

Step 5

Add a strip of 1/2" double sided tape to the 5-1/8" x 7/8" strip of patterned paper and adhere it to the strip you just added the dashes to.

Step 6

Turn it over, and add a strip of 1/4" double sided tape as close to the punched edge as possible.

Step 7

Attach the non-decorated 2-1/2" semi-circle (the one without the patterned paper) to the strip.

Insert the decorated semi-circle in between the strip and the non-decorated semi-circle. Turn the project over so that you’re able to center the semi-circles.

Hint:The front semi-circle will be taller than he one in the back.

Step 8

Holding the strip and semi-circles in your left hand, insert the Crop-a-Dile™ in between the semi-circles and punch a hole.

Important:
Do not punch a hole through the semi-circle in the back, so make sure you place the Crop-a-Dile;& correctly.

Insert an eyelet, set it, and adda butterfly on top of the eyelet with double-sided tape. Set it aside to work on the pom-pom.

Step 9

Punch a notched circle using the iTop™ punch, fold it in half and then in half again.

Step 10

Through all those layers punch a hold using the Crop-a-Dile™. Insert a brad and set it aside.

Step 11
Punch a hole in the middle of the front semi-circle and insert the brad and pom-pom. Open the front semi-circle of the beanie and insert your gift card. With that, you are done!

Cut a piece of designer paper( I chose Lifes Journey by Recollection) at 4 1/4'x 3 1/2 '

Step 6

Cut or Stamp your message on the upper right side of the card
