Has anyone seen an SVG card holder for a pack of Trident gum. I would LOVE to make these for my kids classes at school for Halloween. Very teeth friendly!!

Here's the link from Splitcoast Stampers:

I have not tested this

I will give it a try once I get my kids to sleep! Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you I'll let you know if it works!!!!!

Thanks, for taking the time to create this. The end result will be so cute with Halloween paper and embellishments:)

Blueknittingnut,

I tested the cut and it needs a few "tweeks." The original template on Splitcoast Stampers called for it to be a total length of 8 inches but this is not long enough to cover the gum package or a wide enough opening for the gum to fit through. I might be using the wrong gum package, the one I have is 18 sticks of Trident. It's hard to tell from the Splitcoast postings the exact gum they used.

I then cut it out at 9 inches long and approx. 3 inches wide and this worked a little better. The gum fit through the hole better but the upper flap did not have enough excess paper to apply a velcro closure to. Also the scoring lines, which I LOVE, need to be adjusted wider to fit the 1/2 width of the pack and also adjusted so they fall on the upper part of the gum pack. Currently they fall on the back of the gum when it's cut at 9 inches.

I hope this makes sense. I would greatly appreciate if you could re master this gum holder cut. I have 4 kids and they want to give these to their classmates for Halloween. This SVG would save me a ton of work. Now let's hope Costco sells Trident gum packs in bulk. LOL!

Thanks for your help!!

the size is correct from the instructions--2 1/2" wide, 8" long. the score lines are also correct from the instructions. I think you are using a gum pack that is too big--i have seen some pics that show a pack having 5 sticks of gum. Also if you look at the finished gum holders they have a square piece glued to the front, extending it down and the velcro is attached to this. there is no way for me to make a holder to fit your specific pack of gum without out knowing it's dimensions.
