Do you like to give your handmade cards as gifts? One of the benefits to being a card maker is having a plethora of cards to not only send to the people we care about, but also give as gifts to those who like to send (but not make) cards. I’ve put together three of my favorite card holder projects along with some easy card templates that you can use immediately for the holiday season or tuck away as an idea for someone’s birthday or special occasion. Each of the card holders can accommodate 8-10 cards with envelopes and are very easily put together.
Find the links to all the past video tutorials where I first introduced these card holders and the blog posts where the older pdfs are located. Watch the latest Papercrafting Playdate Episode 108 tutorial to see these projects made with brand new Designer Series Paper.

I hope you have so much fun with these 3 card holder projects and find that you can easily wrap up an assortment of cards for your favorite people next time you need a gift!
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful way to “step-up” an entire stack of OSW cards!
I look forward to your posts every week, which are a gift in themselves. Thank you.
Hi April! Thank you very much for leaving me such a sweet comment. I’m thrilled to know that you look forward to my content and use the ideas to help you make cards for those that you love!
so enjoyed making these cards with you “again” Ladies at independent living home enjoy receiving them. hope you have a wonderful Christmas season.

I just saw this for the first time on 1/8/24! I’m new to card making and I absolutely love it! I try to watch lots of different videos to learn new designs, techniques, and it always leaves me wanting to learn more and more. I have recently started working on items to sale as well as give away to friends, family,etc. one of my projects is a set of note cards, thank you, etc. so imagine how delighted I was to see this episode. That holder is amazing! Do you mind if I use it to create a holder for my cards. I am not using stamping up products and I will totally give you credit for the idea. I just want to use the template to create my own variation. I think your great and I look forward to making you a part of my regular crafting Super teachers😉
Hi Tracey! I’m so happy you are learning new things and loving your stamping projects. Please feel free to use my template!
Hi Robin, I have been watching your YouTube videos, and thus decided to subscribe to your channel. I enjoy your style of teaching and have learned many things. I am fairly new to card making, however, I have beed crafting for many years in other catagories. Also, I have never even heard of “Stamping Up” until several months ago. Anyway, thanks and please continue what your doing.
Thank you, Laura! I’m glad you’ve found me and hope you dive into card making and have fun with a new crafting category. Please let me know how I help you if needed. Glad to send you a catalog for ideas and tips!
Robin, I would so enjoy a catalog, I’ve never viewed one. Would you need my address?
