Turn Handmade Cards into Gift Card Holders

“Tis the Season to be doing lots of fun, festive activities including stamping and paper crafting for holiday cards and gifts. In this video, I demonstrate 3 ways you can turn any handmade card into a gift card holder just in time for the holiday season. With adult children and nieces, I find I often give gift cards, and I am always looking for fun ways to gift them. You’ll find that it takes a little card stock or Designer Series Paper and mere minutes to turn your handmade cards into fun gift card holders. Change these up and customize them for any holiday or occasion including birthdays, graduations, weddings, and more. The recipients of your gift cards will be delighted and impressed with your creativity.
