Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here!

Details of My Gift Card Holder

I decided that I wanted to create something a little different than a card and I always need gift card holders at Christmas time. So, I created one to match the fun Doodlebug Papers in blues and purples for a masculine card. Once I coloured the stamp with my Copic Markers, I coloured a couple of rhinestones to match. I even coloured the frame behind him and the sentiment frame to match my colour theme. I added a couple of sparkly snowflakes and the ribbon to tie the card closed. Of course, I had to decorate the inside with a sentiment from the Christmas Gnome Stack since it fit perfectly inside my card. A couple more sparkly snowflakes finish the inside!

Instructions to Create a Gift Card

Gift card holder base: Gorgeous Grape – 7 ¾” x 5”

Doodlebug panels: 4 ¾” x 2 ¼” and 4 ¾”x ½”

Score the gift card holder at 6” and 2 ½”

Adhere the Doodlebug panels to the front top flap and to the front of the holder

Before gluing the side of the holder, take a 1” circle punch and punch a notch into the bottom flap, this will make getting the gift card out a bit easier (see picture below)

Using strong adhesive adhere the bottom flap on the gift card holder together (this forms the pocket for the gift card)
