Gift Card Holder with Tutorial

Where does the time go? I can't believe that Christmas is almost here, but at least I am almost done my shopping. I actually hate the crowded malls so I try to start early, but with the kids getting older I am running out of places to hide things. One of the last things I get are gift cards for the kids teachers, etc. but while I know they are appreciated they just are not as fun for me to give. That is why I like to make these gift card holders to put them in. This way I can add that personal touch that I feel is sometimes missing from a gift card. I stamped a sentiment on the inside but still left room to write a personalized message for the recipient.

Another gift card holder

A friend is having a baby boy and we gave them a gift card on top of the baby items. I made another one of these gift card holders I love how this turned out. I also used it for a challenge for the CC Focus Group were had to make our own embellishment. I made the rosette on the front and the rest came together easily.

Here is my project for the Hop

I created this gift card holder from BG 6x6 Wisteria paper. I got some of these 6x6 pads a while ago and after a few cards they sat around. Now I am in love with the 6x6 pads again and can’t wait to get more in my next order. This was such a fun project to make and it goes together easily which means I don’t mind giving it away knowing it might get tossed (GASP I know).

Here are the instructions

1 Take a 6x6 piece of paper and cut it down to 4x6

2 Score the 4x6 piece of paper in the middle and fold

3 Cut the 2x6 piece in half to create 2 pieces that are 2x3

4 Take a 2x3 piece and score it ¼” in on 3 sides (2 short and 1 long side)

5 Fold the score lines to create your pocket (note I miter cut the bottom corners on a 45 degree angle so that corners are flat but that is optional)

6 Apply adhesive to the three folds and attach pocket to the bottom right side of the holder (leave the opening at the top, this is where your gift card goes)

7 Next from the remaining piece cut it to1x3 and fold in half. This will become your closure. Attach half to the back and then use velcro or magnets to attach to the front.

8 Decorate the front and inside as desired and you are finished.

Thanks for stopping by and here is the next blog on the hop
