Quick Gift: Gift Card Holders

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to shift gears and get ready with Christmas Prep – first up: gifts! I’ve noticed a growing trend in my family, as the kids – mine and my nieces and nephews – get older, all they want for Christmas (or birthdays, or any other gift-giving occasion) is a gift card!

So what I once believed to be an impersonal “cop-out” gift, I have grown to love and appreciate as the best gift ever – because nobody is ever disappointed with their present!  That doesn’t mean I don’t want to still put a little personal touch on a gift, so usually I’ll do that with a card or wrap.  For this year’s Christmas gift card gifts, I used the “Holly Jolly” collection to whip up a few cute little gift card holders.

These are so easy to make, but really add a special touch.  Here’s how quick and easy they are:

First, cut some of the 3×4 cards from the paper and some coordinating patterned papers to 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″

Use a circle punch to create a little “tab” – either at the side or the top – whichever lends itself best to the design on the card

Now, using a sewing machine, stitch the 3×4 card onto the background

Wrap with ribbon or twine

Add additional embellishments (stickers, die-cuts, etc.) if desired

And that’s it!

Really, you could whip up a dozen of these babies in less than an hour once you get your supplies out and get all set up – less time than it will take you to drive to the store and purchase the gift cards to slip inside (which is something I still need to do)!
