Gift card holder - idea #1 - using Ciao Bella Paper Indigo Collection

Gift cards are here to stay but can be such an impersonal present to give to someone. That's when I like to try and think of other ways to make that little piece of plastic look extra special.

Sharing an idea for a gift card holder that could easily work for tickets out to a special event, a surprise trip etc. An idea to make something plain, now magical!

All supplies used are at the bottom of this post.

Making the base card

You will need -

• 2 x A4 card
• Score board or score tool + ruler
• Paper trimmer / guillotine
• Glue or tape of choice

Cutting guide

• 1st strip/piece of card - 12cm wide x full length of A4 card
• 2nd strip/piece of card - 12cm x 21cm long

Joining the two pieces of card

If you right click on each photo, you can then save them to your PC - if you wish - for future reference.

Finished card

For this project I have chosen to use Ciao Bella Paper Indigo Collection. Full list of supplies can be found at the bottom of this post.

Front

I created a closure using a small topper from 6" x 6" Indigo fussy cut pad

Opening the triangle flap

Front panel opened to see inner middle panel/flap. I have created a band across the centre to hold additional items linked to the gift. On reverse there is a decorative panel to write on, add a photo etc

Final centre panel where the gift card or tickets could be placed.

If you have made it down this far, thank you ever so much. I appreciate that there is a lot of content in this post. 

I hope that from all the photos & video reel, you can see how I created the gift card holder. It could easily be adapted to be a mini album too or a wonderful way to present theatre / show tickets.

If you have any questions regarding this project idea, drop me a comment below or send me an email and I will try and answer them for you.

Until next time, stay safe & happy crafting,
