I try really hard to not give gift cards for Christmas. But sometimes, that's what people want.
In the case that I do give gift cards like for weddings, bridal showers, baby gifts, (ok Christmas too), I try to spice them up so that it appears as though I put a little more thought into the gift. I do this by making my own gift card holder.
It's really pretty simple and you only need a few things.
Supplies: Stamp, ink pad, glue spots, paper cutter, card stock, and a gift card!
Here's what to do:
Step 1 | Cut the card stock to size. I cut my to approximately 8 1/2 by 3 1/2 - 4 inches.
Step 2 | Fold the card stock in half.
Step 3 | Use your stamp of choice to stamp on the outside of the card.
Step 4 | Attach the gift card to the inside of the card with a glue dot.
Step 5 | Write your note. (optional: Write the value on the card, behind where the gift card will be attached.)
Step 6 | Give! (This is the best part!)
This is super simple and can be used for any occasion! I happened to make this one for a friend's bridal shower.
