I made a gift card holder today using a standard A2 sized envelope. I cut down the envelope's height and width so it was open on both the top and right side edge.
A strip of Real Red card stock is scored, folded, and adhered on both the front and back of the envelope over the open edge on the right side. This little red cs strip secures the card so it doesn't slide out from the side of the envelope. A few other score lines are added to that Real Red strip to give it detail. I made an angled cut on the upper right corner of the envelope so it's easier to grasp the gift card and so the gift card peeks out of the envelope.
I embellished the project with a curly label that had been cranked through a crimper and then cut in half. A Real Red corduroy button is adhered with a glue dot onto the curly label.
Did you notice the little fluffy pom-pom on the end of Santa's hat? It is a half pearl from a Stampin' Up Pretties Kit! It fits perfectly!
This gift card holder is fairly quick to make, so if you want to give the postman or hairdresser something special, make a cup of tea & sit down to stamp!
