Merry Giftcard Holder

Are you a fan of giving giftcards at Christmas ? I am for whose taste I don't know too well. To personalise these presents, I make pretty little holders for them. Sharing three I made earlier in the year where I experimented with different types of closures.


This was for a private commission for Gloria.

This is an envelop-style holder. The flap is held down by a raised journal card. The bell and metal charm gives off a little jingle when shaken. My first musical paper-craft project !



I had the most trouble with getting those slippery bead strings to stay on. After trying several adhesive, Helmar's 450 came to the rescue.




Linking up to these parties.

Hi there! Thanks for swinging by my blog!!! I always forget this is totally what i should try to do instead of running around the stores trying to find the "perfect" present. LOVE the glitter die cut leaves!! I have problems with the strung beads as well! Thanks for the Helmar tip- will be using that this week for my New Year's cards!
