Apple Basket Gift Card Holder

August 29, 2011 | Filed under: Articles and tagged with: Back to School, Christmas Gifts, digichick collabs, Do it Yourself, gift, Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs, teacher appreciation

We are so fortunate to have a dear friend in our school corporation who has taught kindergarten for well over 30 years!   She is a fantastic teacher!   We wanted to show her how much we appreciated the work she did on the curriculum committees this summer.

So after much thought, we decided to get her a gift card to one of her favorite stores. Then I saw the apple basket by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs and I thought it would be perfect for a gift cardholder!

Materials needed:

  • Kit – A Is for Apple Kit by The Digichick Designers
  • Apple Basket Template Set and Cutting Files by Kelleigh Ratzlaff
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Epson Matte Presentation Paper
  • Stampin’ Up! Ink Pad – Black
  • Small sponge
  • Red Twine – Stampin’ Up!
  • Tissue Paper


Step 1
Open the apple basket template and choose the pattern paper you want to place on your template.

Step 2
Open a blank file with a white background in Photoshop Elements and choose elements to place on that file. When finished, print on Epson Matte Paper and cut out.

Step 3
Put Apple Basket together using adhesive and decorate. You can use pop dots to attach the elements to the apple basket. I also used a black ink pad and a small sponge to ink the edges of the basket. Next, I added the gift card and the tissue paper.


And my gift was ready to give!
