Present Gift Card Holder

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to buy someone special as a gift, and so you opt for a gift card. But how can you elevate your choice of gift into something fun and memorable? By making your very own cute gift card holder, of course! 🎁

Disguised as a wrapped present, this interactive gift card holder is super easy to assemble and will undoubtedly bring an element of surprise to your gift recipient! 🎁

The templates for this gift card holder come as SVG cut files, and can be found in my Etsy shop.

To make one, you will need:

* Present Gift Card Holder template (available as an SVG cut file)

* Computer and printer to print the PDF instructions

* Digital cutting machine

* Double-sided cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Craft glue / double-sided tape

* Thin cord / string / thread for the optional gift tag

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the gift card holder, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : Glue the long ribbon piece down the centre of the insert, making sure that the two hearts meet neatly at the top.

TIP 2 : Slide the insert into the holder, then glue the shorter ribbon piece down the centre, so that the ends join up with the other ribbon piece on the front and the back. You can then trim off any excess.

TIP 3 : Attach the two separate heart pieces to the larger heart using dimensional foam or scraps of layered cardstock (one on the front and one on the back).

There's also an optional gift tag that you could stamp a sentiment onto and attach it behind the smaller heart.

And don't think that they have to be just for Christmas, you can customize them for any occasion using any cardstock of your choice!

Once assembled, your cute little gift card holder is ready to go - it doesn't need to be wrapped - and because it's fairly flat, it can easily be popped into an envelope for posting! ✉️📮

Happy crafting!
