The holiday season is right around the corner, and we all know how fun (and sometimes hectic!) it can be to find the perfect gift for friends and family. If you’re like me, you love adding a personal touch to every present you give. That’s why today, I’m sharing an easy and beautiful fun fold gift card holder that will impress your loved ones and make your holiday giving extra special!
In this project, I’m using the Sophisticated Sled Stamp and Die Bundle and the gorgeous Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper—a perfect combination for a festive card with a clever twist! What I love most about this gift card holder is how quick it is to put together. Whether you’re creating one or making a whole batch for everyone on your list, this design will save you time without sacrificing style.
Why You’ll Love This Project:
- Fast & Simple: This fun fold gift card holder comes together quickly, thanks to a few key die-cuts and simple folds.
- Personal Touch: Handmade cards always show thoughtfulness, and this project is an easy way to make a gift card feel more special.
- Perfect for Holiday Gifting: The design is festive and functional, giving you a place to tuck a gift card while presenting it beautifully.
- Great for Mass Production: Using a stamp positioning tool and a few quick techniques, you can easily make multiples of this card to give to friends, family, or even as stocking stuffers.
Project Details:
In the video below, I walk you through step-by-step how to create this holiday-themed fun fold card. Some key techniques you’ll learn include:
- Fun Fold Design: I’m showing how to use the Countryside Corners Dies to create a layered flap that adds dimension and interest to the card base.
- Wreath Stamping & Coloring: Using the Sophisticated Sled dies, I’ll show how to set up the wreath on a stamp positioning tool for quick and easy stamping. Plus, we’ll add a touch of color with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the patterned paper.
- Heat Embossed Details: I’ll teach you how to emboss a strip of patterned paper for extra texture and shine!
- Gift Card Pocket: The inside pocket makes it simple to tuck in a gift card, completing the perfect holiday surprise!
