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)

On yesterday’s Facebook Live, I shared a sweet little gift box – this could be a great gift card holder, or would hold any small gift. I love to “dress up” a gift card but presenting it in a special way – it makes it look more personal and thoughtful! I created this box with the Snow Wonder Stamp Set and Coordinating Snow Time Dies.


To see how easy it is to put this box together, please watch the replay of the Facebook Live:

My box is a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box – these boxes are perfect for little boxes like this one! It’s a “no adhesive needed” box – so easy – just fold on the scored lines and assemble. I then wrapped a piece of the beautiful White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the box and tied with a bow.
For the box front, I started with a panel of Basic Gray Cardstock (3 5/8″ x 5 3/8″).
I stamped the trees with Old Olive ink onto a panel of the beautiful Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the look of stamping directly onto our Designer Series Paper and need to do it more often!
The Snow Lady was stamped with Basic Gray Ink and then cropped with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Be sure to watch the Facebook Live Replay for a tip on how to do multiples of a stamped and cropped image quickly! I did the same with the word label shape.
To finish up my box, I added just a bit of color to the Snow Lady with Stampin’ Blends and then adhered the word panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Snow Lady is attached with dimensionals.
For a bit of bling I added three Real Red Rhinestones.

Do you give a lot of gift cards over the holidays? If so, I hope this gives you an easy and quick and special way to present them!

I created one gift card on my Facebook Live yesterday – but am sharing two today. They both feature the Bright Baubles bundle – and are gift card holders! I know I sure use a lot of gift card holders this time of year and hopefully this will give you an idea for a quick and easy gift card holder – and they fit in a regular size envelope, so they can be mailed!
Both cards feature the retired Be Dazzling Specialty Paper – I have some extra packets and am offering an ordering incentive for this week – while my supply lasts! We all loved this paper – and it sold out during Saleabration – but I have some extras to share!

You can click below to watch how to assemble the gift card holders!

On my Night of Navy card, I used the “new to me” Star Crossed embossing folder – it’s so cool! I had overlooked it in our Mini Catalog but am glad that I discovered it recently! It embosses both a checkered pattern and a star pattern. Love it!
Quick Measurement for the Gift Card base is 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2 and 9.
