Following on from my poinsettia gift card holder and my forget-me-not gift card holder, I have now published the third design in the series, which features a lovely array of cornfield flowers!

A papercraft gift card holder in the style of a vintage cream teapot with a pale brown handle and spout. It is decorated with a paper poppy, two paper cornflowers, three paper daisies and a paper bee on the front.

Disguised as a vintage teapot, this stunning cornfield gift card holder is designed to hold a standard credit card sized gift card, and can also be used for home decor!

The template for this gift card holder comes as a single SVG cut file, and can be found in my Etsy shop.

To make one, you will need:

* Cornfield Teapot Gift Card Holder template (available as an SVG cut file)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Small piece of vellum
* Craft glue

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the gift card holder, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : When attaching the green leaf pieces, carefully line up the base so that it’s just up from the teapot base.

TIP 2 : Gently curl the petals of each flower upwards to give them added dimension. Then glue the layers on as shown here.

TIP 3 : When attaching the back piece, only apply glue to the top part (the lid and rim section).

TIP 4 : Fold the base tab in half and apply glue to the last part only so that it attaches to the base of the teapot piece.

Once assembled, your little cornfield teapot gift card holder is ready to go and, because it folds flat, it can easily be popped into an envelope for posting!

When opened up, it becomes freestanding, and will even rock, making it perfect for birthday cards, Mother’s day, teacher gifts or as a unique housewarming gift!
