Hi Stampers!
Here we are! Christmas is two weeks away. I hope your cards are finished or nearly so, and you have plenty of tags for all the gifts you are wrapping. If you are like me, sometime between now and Christmas you’ll find yourself needing an extra gift at some point. In my mind gift cards were created for times like those! So, today I thought we’d take a look at two super easy and really quick gift card holders! They are basically cards with a flap that serves as a great pocket for a gift card! Let’s take a look:
The two gift card holders on the left were made a couple years ago - maybe 3! I’ve yet to use them, but I will - maybe this year! The two on the right I made in the video that coordinates with posting. Watch the video to see the cards open, and to see how to create the gift card holders!

I use mostly Stampin’ Up! ®️ products. Some are retired and noted as such. Products from other companies are noted as such. I encourage you to use supplies you have on hand, and create your very own and unique versions of the samples.
