I wanted to send a coffee gift card to a friend – and of course wanted to make it look cute! This is what I came up with – it’s cute and quick – my favorite kind of project!!!
And really, the possibilities for this are endless – instead of a gift card, what about a tea bag? Or a chocolate square? The base of this gift card holder is the new Countryside Inn dies, and then of course the Cheerful Daises bundles adds the cuteness factor! I love the Lemon Lolly color – it’s one of our new Core Colors and is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!
Here’s the recording- What do you think?
If you need a gift card, try this one out! Perfect for a little pick me up for a friend, end of year teacher thank you, etc!

Lucy was here on Friday and she has been wanting to do a Facebook Live – so we did one on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page.
We created a cute Snowman (or for Lucy it was a Snow- woman!) gift card holder. It’s that time of year – I give a lot of Gift Cards and love this idea – inspired by a card I received from Connie Babbert.
With just a few supplies, most of which you probably have on hand, this gift card is quick and easy to make! The Gift Card slips behind the brim of the hat – and I love that it will fit in a regular envelope for mailing – if you need to put yours in the mail.

You can see how we created the gift card holder by watching my Facebook Live video below.

Here’s a view of the back of the gift card holder: Our words are from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set – it is such a great set for Christmas sayings.

MEASUREMENTS:
- Basic Black: 3 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 3 1/4; 3/4 x 4 1/4 (brim)
- Garden Green: small piece for punching holly leaves
- DSP: 3/4 x 3 1/2
- Basic White: 3 1/4 x 2 3/4 (face); 3 1/4 x 5 (back)
