WELCOME to DAY 7 of our HOLIDAY TUTORIALS
featuring our latest Holiday 2023 Release
Sam here sharing with you my tutorial:
- Quick and Easy Gift Card Holders -
I am sharing two examples I made to create quick and easy gift card holders, perfect for sharing with family and friends during the holidays. This was an idea inspired by a YouTube video I watched by the wonderful card designer, Claudette San Pedro.
I will provide product and scoring details for both examples, and we will dive into all the steps used to create the Winter Circle gift card holder

White Glitter cardstock
Black Cardstock
Red Cardstock
Pattern Paper:
3 1/2" x 5" for the background
3" x 3" for the hat and scarf
HOW TO:
Step 1. Cut your card base and score at both the two inch mark and the 6" inch mark. Using your bone folder, fold at the crease and burnish the edges.
Step 2. Die cut two pieces of pattern paper using the 3 1/4" sized die from the Scalloped Squares Die set. You don't need to cut the full size of the square because once cut, you will trim one end using your paper trimmer.
Step 3. For the top of your gift card base, cut off the bottom of your square at the 2 1/4" mark. For the bottom of your card base cut the bottom of your second square at the 1 3/4" mark. Adhere each piece to your card base.
Step 4: Glue both the left and right edges of the folded bottom of your card-base to the inside of the card-base to create a pocket for your gift card as shown below.
Step 5: After using your Winter Circle die to die cut all of the pieces from the cardstock colors listed above, create a base from white cardstock to adhere the die cuts using the 3" in diameter circle from the Stitched Nested Circles Die. Using scissors cut along the stitching to create the perfect sized base for your Winter Circle.
Step 6: I wanted the Winter Circle to have a lot of shimmer and shine but I didn't have any green glitter cardstock so before gluing down, I used a shimmer pen to add some sparkle to my die cuts.
Step 7: Once the Winter Circle was assembled, I stamped a sentiment from the Let it Snow clear stamp set and die cut it using the smallest die from the Scalloped Rectangles Die. I then applied glue to the back of the top half of my circle and adhered it to the top fold of my card base. As for the sentiment, I glued it onto the bottom fold of my card base, just under the Winter Circle, so the recipient can see the message upon opening. All final images are below.
These were very quick and easy to put together. I hope you enjoy.
