Holiday Gifts : Gift Card Holders by Tya

Hello Doodlebug fans! It's Tya here and I am up on the blog today sharing with you some quick and  easy Gift Card Holders. Gift cards are boring by themselves, so why not spice them up with a cute holder. I made these with my Silhouette machine and honestly these took 10 minutes to make,  perfect for this busy time of year.

I used the Gift Card Holder Present  cut file to make the gift cards. I used a few of my favorite pattern papers from the Milk and Cookies line, some Gingham/Linen papers and some cardstock to make the holders.I also cut a scallop circle and a white cardstock circle out of cardstock from this Silhouette shape to put some stickers  from the Icon Sticker Sheet on. Cut the pieces out and assemble.

 Here are a few close ups of the cards. I added some foam tape to the bow and the icon sticker for some dimension. I also added a white boutique button and some bakers twine for some more decoration. I added a sentiment sticker from the This and That sticker sheet to the bottom of scallop circle.


Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope I have inspired you to whip up a batch of these cute holders to keep on hand during this busy season! The Milk and Cookies line was perfect for these cards! Happy Crafting and Happy Holidays!

    Could you show some work-arounds, old-school type, for those of us who don't have all the fancy cutting machines? I do a lot of my work freehand, but would love it if you have any tips. Thank you.

      Hi there. I know Tya used the silhouette, but just in case I thought I would share a Sizzix die that does something similar for those that don't have that machine found here:

      Without any die-cutting at all, you may have to get creative with some old-school templates that you trace or try to create the bows and such freehand. :)
