Christmas Gift Cards

Hello!  Renee here to share a step-by-step tutorial of Christmas Gift Cards made using the Holly Jolly collection.  It’s my favorite time of year again…creating cute gifts for teachers!  I decided to do something a little different this year since I’m making gifts just for Payton’s teachers this year.  So, I created Christmas cards with a super simple gift card holder inside.  Christmas Gift Cards…a bit of a play on words.  😉

I trimmed the Holiday Village and Happy Holidays pattern papers to 4 ¾” x 6 ¾” and adhered them to 5″ x 7″ green and red card bases.

I trimmed the Gingerbread (shown below) and Peppermints pattern papers to 6 ½” x 12″.  I scored the papers at the 4 ¾”, 6″, and 7 ¼” marks.  I first scored the center 6 ” mark and then went 1 ¼” to the left and 1 ¼” to the right from the center mark.

  1. I folded the pattern paper in half.
  2. I flipped the first part up and folded at the 7 ¼” score line.
  3. I flipped the pattern paper and folded at the 4 ¾” score line.
  4. Now the Christmas Gift Card inserts are ready to prepare for the actual gift cards.

  1. To prepare the inserts for the gift cards, I first added adhesive along the edges of where the gift card would go using the gift card as my guide.
  2. I brought the folds together and adhered them.
  3. I marked the center of the pattern paper at 3 ¼”.  I marked the other two spots based off of the size of the gift card.  So, for this gift card, I marked the pattern paper at 1 ¼” and 5 ¼”.
  4. I used my paper trimmer to cut off ¼” of the pattern paper staying within the previous marks and then used scissors to make my final cuts.  Simple and sweet!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere my gift card inserts to the insides of my cards.

I embellished the cards with adorable bits from the Holly Jolly Ephemera Die-Cuts.  I created a bow for the die-cut wreath using the Christmas Plaid pattern paper and the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Styleboard Dies.
