Between everything going on in the world, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, high school and college graduation thought it was the perfect time to show how to make a gift card holder. Gift cards are a great way to show your appreciation to essential workers, graduates or anyone! If you don’t want to add a gift card, cash works nicely in these as well.
Below is a picture of some I’ve made so far to have around for any occasion that pops up. Each uses a different designer series paper collection, any collection can be used. Designer Series Paper pictured below: Birthday Bonanza, Country Club, Tropical Oasis and Peaceful Poppies.
Here is an up close of the Peaceful Poppies holder with a Poppy Parade ribbon bow!
Here is what the inside of the gift card holder looks like. I’ve left the inside Whisper White card stock blank and unattached until I know the occasion and then I’ll stamp the appropriate sentiment and attach. To close the holder I’ve added a thin adhesive Velcro dot which can be purchased from a box store or Amazon.
Here are the dimensions for the holder:
- Card stock – 5½” x 6″
- Score 5½” side at 7/8″ on both ends
- Score 6″ side at 1¾” on both ends
- Once scored, fold and burnish scores, cut away the four regular pieces and round all corners if desired
- Designer Series Paper
- 3 – 1 5/8″ x 3 5/8″ (top outside/inside flap and bottom flap)
- 2 of these pieces have rounded corners
- 1 – 2 3/8″ x 3 5.8″ (back)
- 3 – 1 5/8″ x 3 5/8″ (top outside/inside flap and bottom flap)
- Inside Whisper White or Very Vanilla – 2¼” x 3½”
- Decorate front as desired
- Only adhesive needed is to adhere designer paper
