Life has been busy around here but we've had a lot of help. We need to thank some people!
Your challenge is to give this gift card holder a try. It is really simple. You can make it for any occasion you need, Christmas, birthday, thank you, etc. You can use any type of closure you want or none at all. Wendy didn't add a closure. I added a die cut image to tuck the cover behind. You could use an embellishment or small piece of velcro, a snap, photo turns ... whatever you like.
I found this quick and easy gift card holder on
Wendy Vecchi's Instagram. She did a short video, but in case you can't view it, I will try to step it out for you with a few photos.
1. Orient an A2 side fold card so it is in landscape position and cut it in half. You will have two top fold cards that are 2 3/4 x 4 1/4.
2. Trim 3/4 inch off the front of the card.
3. Fold the back of the card up 1/2 inch toward the inside to form a pocket for a gift card. I used skinny score tape to secure the sides of the pocket.
4. Decorate your gift card as you wish! Use at least one non-sentiment stamp. That means it can be an image or background stamp. I used both.

I think it might be nice to have a few of these on hand. I hope you do too!
I had fun making
my sample. I made two of these and hope to make more this week.
I used an old, old Rusty Pickle clear dog stamp. I don't think I've inked it before. Now I can't wait to ink it again! I also wanted to use a background stamp and I think I found a good fit. Initially I stamped the dog image in black on white card stock and was trying to figure out how to color it like some of the bright multi-color dog paintings I've seen. Then I remembered the backgrounds I made last week. Bingo! Much easier for me than trying to achieve the artsy look with coloring.
