In my last video I showed you one of my favourite simple gift card holder. YouTube is full of other gorgeous examples of ways to make gift card holders. Today I am showing one of my favourite holders which is super simple, and is the same size as an A3 card and fits into the Stampin’ Up! envelopes. You could send them with a card or they also look well on a Christmas tree with the decorations. I can whip a few up really quickly (normally when the Thomas tells me he needs a present on short notice.) I personally like them to be simply decorated but you could add layers if you wanted to. My future videos will show the other options for this type of gift card holder.

I love that you can choose your own decoration, my original version used a piece of Night of Navy which I had made to be a snow background using the Stampin’ Chalk marker- the video can be found here. I a simply added a Snowman using Snowman Season Stamp Set and the Snowman builder punch. I used a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write marker for the nose and then Magenta Madness for the buttons and added Shimmery Crystal Effects. I love the way the buttons look, but you do have remember to let the Crystal Effects dry, otherwise it adds interesting texture to the snowman but not the buttons.
