Wanna make a gift card holder with me??

Somebody emailed me a while back when I made this gift card holder to ask me if there was a template I used.

I know there are templates & die cut machines (I know Accucut has a good one) out there for gift card holders.
But really, it is very easy-no template needed!

And I will show you how to do it!

Supplies: My Mind's Eye Lush

So here goes...

Cut a sheet of patterned paper to roughly 8 inches tall x 4.5 inches wide.
{none of the measurements here need to be exact!}

Round the top 2 corners.

Then fold!

Fold the bottom up ~1.5 to 2 inches from the top of the card.

Then fold the top part down.

This is not necessary, but I did ink the edges of the card ever so slightly.

See how easy this is?!

The card part is done & now we just need to make a little sleeve-thingy to hold it together.

Cut a strip of paper ~1.5 to 2 inches wide and ~10 inches long.

Add whatever you want to embellish this strip.

On the original project above I used brown ribbon.

On this one I added a border sticker.

Fold strip around the card holder.

Adhere it together with strong adhesive and then trim off the excess.

Now you have a little sleeve-thingy that you can slide on & off the gift card holder.

But we still need to embellish this thing a little better!

Add stickers, die cuts, flowers, punches, bling as desired to get the look you want.

This is a good place to add a sentiment too!

Voila!

It's easy peasy and a fun way to jazz up a boring gift card!

This one is going to a couple we know getting married-Target gift card inside!

Happy day!!
