​Holiday Gift Card Holder | Julie Campbell

If you’re like me & always in need of last minute holiday gift ideas, I’ve got a quick & easy solution for you! In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to dress up gift cards & present them in a fun & festive way. They’re the perfect gifts for teachers, friends, or anyone on your list!

I’ll be using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board for this project along with the Dots & Stripes paper pad, the Season’s Greetings Cards, & items from the Waldorf add-on kit.

Trim a piece of patterned paper to 5”x 5”. Line up the edge of the paper on the Envelope Punch Board at the 2-1/4”mark. Punch the paper.

Score your paper along the indentation well on the board to create your first score mark.

Rotate your paper 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Line up the score mark with the marker on the punch. Punch and score.

Rotate your paper once again & punch & score just as you did before.

Rotate your paper one final time & punch. Do not score this time. Your paper should now look like this.

Using the built-in corner rounder, round each of the 4 points on you paper.

If your paper is single-sided, you can repeat this process with a contrasting paper. The red marks indicate where the score lines should be on each piece.

Trim your contrasting piece of patterned paper so that only this section remains.

Adhere the smaller paper onto the full-sized punched square. Fold up 3 of the sides & adhere in place. You now have a pouch to hold your gift card! Punch a hole at the top.

Decorate your gift card envelope with stamps & embellishments.

Fill a canning jar with some yummy treats. There are so many recipes online that you can find to make your own hot cocoa mix, cookie mix, soup mix, etc. The Season’s Greetings Cards are the perfect size for adding instructions to your recipient.

Of course, these gift card holders can be used for more than just Christmas presents. Feel free to alter this idea and use it for any holiday or occasion throughout the year!

Supplies: WRMK Envelope Punch Board; other supplies: Dots & Stripes 6x6 pad, Waldorf add-on kit (stamps, banner, alpha stickers), felt, baker’s twine, hole punch, marker, Season’sGreetings Cards
