I had the pleasure of spending Monday with my dear friend Lucy. We had planned a special day of FUN – and when I suggested a Facebook Live, she thought that was a great idea! I assured her that “all of her Facebook fans” were missing her!!!
We made a super quick gift card holder – really quick, but super cute! You can use the measurements below – and really any cardstock, designer paper and stamp sets to make them – and they sure are a much cuter way to “give” a gift card, don’t you think?
Here is the replay of our Facebook Live – I hope you will watch and leave a comment – Lucy will surely be the bright spot in your day! She always is a bright spot for me any time I have the pleasure of her company! She is Joy personified! Enjoy!

Here is my version of the gift card:

And you can probably guess that this is Lucy’s version- she loves bling and wanted to “bling it up!” Never too much bling, right? So adorable!

BASE MEASUREMENTS:
- 2 3/4 x 8 1/2; score at 1 1/4 and 5
Perfect size to slip a gift card in the pocket inside!

FREE TUTORIALS- I send out Weekend Inspiration every weekend that includes a handful of Card Projects with tutorials and supply lists – and yes they are free! The first card on today’s post is one of the project tutorials! I send these out to all who are on my email list. Interested in getting these project sheets?
