Easter Egg Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder Assembly
Supplies
Teal cardstock
Grey cardstock
Pink cardstock
Purple cardstock
Yellow cardstock
White cardstock*
Glue (tape dots or tape runner are not recommended)
Foam dots (optional)
*If using textured cardstock for the card, I recommend using white textured cardstock for the lid and white smooth cardstock for the panel on the back for your message. If you don’t have white cardstock on hand, you can flip the textured cardstock around and use the back side, which is usually smoother.
I used paper from the AC Cardstock Pastel collection (https://amzn.to/40qNkqI). This paper works well for layering, though it is lighter weight than papers like 12×12 Cardstock Shop Encore or Bazzill textured cardstock, so the finished card can feel a little flimsier. That being said, I like the AC Cardstock packs because they are coordinating color palettes, which make it easy to quickly pick colors that work well together for layered cards and you can get these packs in most local craft stores. AC Cardstock is also a great option if you are making a lot of cards and are sticking to a budget.
Assembly Steps
Fold and crease the flaps on the cup base.
Fold and crease the front of the cup base down over the flaps. Add glue to the cup base flaps then glue the front of the cup base down to the flaps, making a pocket.
Glue the white cup lid to the light gray cup insert.
Glue the egg piece with the cutouts on top of the solid egg piece.
Glue the cup sleeve to the front of the cup base pocket.
Write you message on the white card and then glue it onto the back of the cup base. It is highly recommended writing your message before glueing, as it will be hard to write on it once the gift card holder if fully assembled.
Tip: Use the sketch feature on your machine to write the message before cutting the piece.
Attach the egg to the cup sleeve. Foam dots are optional, but add some fun dimension to the card.
Tuck your gift card into the tabs on the cup insert.
Slide the insert with the gift card into the pocket in the cup base.
