The roof is removed to reveal the gift card:

The main pieces of gift card:
(1) 3-1/2" x 9-1/2" Real Red CS, score along the 9-1/2" side at 4-3/4"
(1) 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" Very Vanilla CS - this is the gift card insert
(1) 1-1/4"x 4-1/4" Old Olive CS - this is the Back Roof
(1) 7/8" x 4-3/4" Old Olive CS - 1st layer of Front Roof
(1) 1-1/4" x 4-3/4" Old Olive CS - 2nd Layer of Front Roof
(1) 1-3/4" x 4-3/4" Old Olive CS - bottom layer of Front Roof

Using the Scallop Edge Punch, punch all strips (except the Back Roof: the piece that is 1-1/4" x 4-1/8") and sponge using Old Olive ink.

Adhere the Front Roof scalloped pieces. Note: Once the Front Roof layers are adhered, trim Front roof length to finish 4-1/4" long. Cut off 3/8" to "0" each side of the front and Back roofs (see arrows). Sponge cut areas if desired:

To make the Gingerbread Man:

(1) 1-1/4" Circle Punch for the head

(1) Small Tag Punch for the body

(1) Small punched heart from the Heart to Heart Punch

(4) Word Window punches for the legs and arms

Use Close to Cocoa ink to sponge around the edges of all the punched pieces. Use a white gel pen for the "icing". Add dimensionals to the head and body. Position limbs onto the front of the gift card holder, then add head and body. Note: total height of Gingerbread Man should not exceed 3-7/8".

Thread gingham ribbon behind neck and tie a double knot to secure.

Use the Slit punch to secure Gift Card on the insert. Add sticky tape to the gift card holder and secure close:

Position the dimensionals on the front and back of Gift Card insert as shown. At this time, roof can be attached.
