The days until Christmas are counting down! From now until then, I'll be sharing some "Quick & Easy" ideas with you to help make this time of year a little less stressful.
Gift cards are getting to be "the" gift to give. I don't know about you but I hate to just put them into an envelope or use the store's version of a holder. So I quickly made up my own using my SCAL and Cricut.
I used a file I believe I originally got from DT's ART BLOG. I see that it is no longer free but you may be able to purchase it by sending her a file request. She may also have it available in PDF format for those of you without an electronic cutter.
Two gift cards can be cut from one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Kraft cardstock if you flip one holder layout.
Three easy steps!
Some Tips:
Burnish the paper tape strips using your bone folder, especially on the edges.
Add a strip of tape on the gift card pocket and stamp the "To" & "From" on the opposite side.
You could decorate the back with more tape or stamp a little design on the rounded flap.
I found the box of decorative tape at a fabulous little store in Chicago called P.O.S.H. when I was there last month. We also saw it at a few other shops (even cheaper) so I know you can find it online. Here's the LINK to the manufacturer.
Super cute! Love how you used that paper tape.
