2 Kinds of Pocket Gift Card Holders

I’m super excited to share these two fun card designs that feature pockets for holding gift cards. I really like that both designs function as a greeting card and a gift card holder at the same time. I think you are going to love having these fun folds in your repertoire when you want to find a way to give a gift card to someone special. The first fun fold is called a Double Pocket Gift Card Holder, and the inspiration for this design came from Kay Kalthoff, Stamping to Share. The second fun fold is called a Pop-Up Pocket Gift Card Holder.

Watch the video tutorial and download the written tutorial to make your stamping easy! Give these fun folds a try and dress up those gift cards! I’d love to see what you come up with.
