Today’s Sweet Stockings Gift Card Holder is super quick and easy to create!
You can created 3 of these from one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock, so perfect for making multiples! Here’s what the inside of the gift card holder looks like:
The gift card just slips right in, snug as a bug in a rug! Here’s how to create this gift card holder:
- Start with a 3-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ strip of cardstock (you can cut 3 from an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock)
- Score along the long side at 2-1/4″ and 6-1/4″ (or 2-1/4″ from each side)
- Choose which side will be the top flap (they’re both the same size) and round the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch (or corner rounder punch of your choice)
- Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper to 2″ x 3″ (landscape if using a directional pattern)
- Round the bottom 2 corners on the long side of one of the pieces of Designer Series Paper
- Adhere to outside of gift card holder
- Apply Tear & Tape (or adhesive of choice) to the inside edges of the bottom flap (see picture below)
- Remove Tear & Tape backing, told up bottom flap and adhere
- Add gift card (the most important part!
- Secure top flap with a ribbon bow or belly band – et voila!
Here’s where the Tear & Tape should be applied:

First, so happy to hear “Murphy girl” is home and recovering. I am an animal lover especially dogs, so I know what it is like to have concern over your pet. Recovery on the way! I pinned your gift card holder and will definitely be using it in the days ahead. Your instructions are as always, perfect. May you and your family have a very joy-filled and peaceful holiday with Murphy.
Blessings,
Kathy
Hi
I truly love this quick idea, but maybe I’ll add a little thumb notch in the bottom center.
Way to go Murphy! ♥
Thanks for sharing the cute, quick and easy gift card holder. Will be using this pattern for many occasions.
