MAKE A QUICK GIFT CARD HOLDER, NO DIES NEEDED - A STAMP HAPPY HOLIDAY POST

Hi Stampers!

Christmas is coming up next week! My holiday card making is finished, but I needed a couple more gift card holders. I have several dies that cut out various types of gift card holders, but I thought today I would share two patterns for gift card holders that require no dies, just cutting, scoring, and adhering together. As always you can keep it simple, or really dress it up. These projects allow you to use what you have on hand to make the gift card holders truly yours. Let’s take a look at the samples:

This version of a gift card holder is so easy to put together. You can use either cardstock or patterned paper to create it. Here is a list of supplies needed to create the gift card holder:  

SUPPLIES
* Cardstock or patterned paper cut at 7 1/2” x 3” scored along the 7 1/2” side at 3 3/4” - score along the 3” side at 1/4” and 2 3/4”. On the 3” side at one end make a score line about 1/2” long at the 1 1/2” point. 
* Small circle or small oval punch or die to cut a notch. Line up the punch or die with the 1/2” score line centered.You will only punch or die cut 1/2 the circle or oval.  
* Scissors - cut away the 1/4” tabs from the sides of the panel the notch was cu from (See diagram.)
* Bone Folder - burnish the score lines with the bone folder
* Adhesive - Fold tabs inward. Place double sided tape, tape runner, or liquid glue on tabs and press front of holder onto the tabs.

I hope these gift card holder patterns come in handy. These are Christmas themed, but you can create them for any holiday or occasion you like. Thank you so much for stopping by, and thank you for checking in for this year’s Stamp Happy Holidays. I am taking off for a couple of weeks to spend time with my family over the Holidays. I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year! I will see you in 2025 and we’ll see what we can create. Until then . . .
Stamp Happy!
