-------------------------------- 

To change things up a bit I created something other than a card to share. One of my favorite gifts to give during the holidays are gift cards!  I don't know about you but I'm always looking for ways to package them up other than the plain envelope that they tend to come in or a plain store bought gift bag!

Here are two versions of a decorated sleeve I came up with. They are super easy and can be altered in many ways.  

The first one uses a simple bow to close it up. (For today's sample I didn't tie it closed but just around the front of the holder). I also created my own background paper but you could easily use pattern paper.

Here's a peek at the inside where I created a pocket to insert the gift card.  I decorated the inside but that is totally optional.

 Gift Card Holder Instructions:

• Cut White Card Stock 4" x 8 1/2" (Score on the 8 1/2" side at 1 1/2" & 5", place thin piece of strong adhesive on outer edges of both sides of the 1 1/2" section to create the pocket for the gift card.
• Cut Red Card Stock Layer 3 1/4" X 3 3/4" & 1 1/4" x 4"
• Cut White Card Stock Layer 3 1/8" x 3 5/8" & 1" x 4" (Randomly stamp as shown or you can also use a piece of pattern paper)
• Cut 2 1/4" Circle (Die Cut or Punch)
• Stamp, Color & Fussy Cut Images from Winter Birds stamp set
• Wrap gift card with ribbon and tie bow to create closure. 

---------------------------------

 As promised I have a second version with a little more detail.  For this one I created a belly band measuring 1" x 8" (I find it easiest to wrap around and then create my score lines and add a bit of adhesive to secure it.  Make sure not to wrap it to tight so it can easily be slipped on and off.)
