Gift Card Holders with a Fun Twist!

Hi Doodlebug friends! It's Tya here to share with you my take on this weeks assignment of using Doodlebug's awesome products for gift giving. I have a lot of hard to buy for people on my gift giving list, so when in doubt of what to get - I go the gift card route! Honestly, I LOVE getting gift cards - then there is no hassle of having to return a gift LOL! One thing that I do love to do with my gift cards though is to make a fun handmade gift card holder to put them in, so today I will show you my latest idea.

When I saw these cute card holders from my favorite Silhouette Designer, Lori Whitlock - I decided to alter them a little bit.  I loved the box design, but decided instead of the tea lights, I would add a tasty little treat in place of the candles and then place the gift card inside the top section that opens like a card.

 

You can find the cutting file for your digital cutting machines here Tea Light Christmas Card or a PDF here Tea Light Christmas Card if you would like to recreate these for your own.I used some tags from the Christmas Tags Craft Kit, a St. Nick Doodlepop, a Merry Tree Doodlepop,and some stickers from the Santa Express Icon Sticker sheet. Here are my holders :)

 To add the M&M's to this card, add a little piece of acetate to the window section to hold all the candies in.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. If you are looking for a fun way to spice up your gift cards - give this fun technique a try! Happy Crafting and Happy Holidays!
