Season's Greetings - December 9th with Susan

Hello, friends! Susan here with a quick and easy project that doubles as a card and a gift. 

Season's Greetings

 We give several gift cards during the holiday season and I like to make them look a little fancy. They are a present after all, right? 

Making gift card cards.

  I turned to my favorite source for creative ideas (Pinterest) and found this easy tutorial for making gift card holders. And easy is the name of the game during this busy time of year! 

  To make this project even easier, I pulled a 12x12 paper pad along with a pack of die-cuts from the same collection, and a couple of stamp sets. Then I grabbed a circle punch and a scoreboard - I don't think these tools are a necessity though. You could certainly use a ruler to make the folds and use scissors to cut the notch. 

  I followed the tutorial to make the base and then played with the stamps and die-cuts to decorate and embellish the cards. Here's a few peeks at the insides:

  To kick the presentation up a notch, I slipped the cards into glassine bags I had on hand. (I save them from online purchases but some of the big box stores have them available as well.)

  And since everything came together so quickly (I made three of these in less than an hour), I even had time to decorate the bags with some twine and more die-cuts.

  I'm thrilled with how they turned out and hope the recipients will be happy to receive them as well!

I hope you'll give these a try - I am a very inexperienced cardmaker and I had no trouble at all putting them together. And make sure you come back again tomorrow and the rest of the month for more card ideas!
