Fancy Pants Designs | Christmas GC Holder/Teacher Gift

I decided to hop on here and blog, for a change! ;)

It's been super hectic/crazy, as I figure it is with everyone else, but for me, blogging goes to the back-burner when it's like this! Sorry friends!!

So, today I have a cute little gift card holder to share with you all. I used the Merry Little Christmas collection from Fancy Pants Designs for it. I tried my hardest to get Jacob to pick out an actual gift for his teacher, but he stood his ground and wanted to get her a gift card to her favorite place! :)

I used one of the adorable Glassine Bags from the Artist Edition collection and grabbed some extra tissue paper laying around.

I did some simple layers on the bag and adhered them down with some strong adhesive, staples and thick, foam adhesive. Have I said lately how much I love the Large Decorative Tags??? Well, I love them! ♥

The inside card holds one of the Decorative Bags, which holds the GC. I added a sentiment sticker as the final touch. I then wrapped it up with my scrap piece of tissue, put it into the bag, and then enclosed it with one of the super-adorable Clothespins.

And his teacher loved it! :)

Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes Gift Card holders

My boys decided to get their teachers Gift Cards for Christmas this year! So, I decided to make up some Gift Card holders for them using the adorable Christmas Wishes collection from Bella Blvd.

I went with a pocket/envelope style that I have made before. (That always makes it quick and easy!!)

Cute, huh?!? I picked out coordinating ribbon and cardstock for the insert which holds the gift card and a picture of each of them that they wanted their teachers to have. :)

Each pocket envelope (once folded) is 4x5 inches. I cut a 12x5 inch strip of kraft cardstock and then scored it every 4 inches (2 times). I then cut each edge at a slant from one score mark to the edge. Here is a diagram for refrence:

Do the same as above with patterned paper (I cut my paper right under 5 inches to give the little border), and adhere along the edges to make your pocket.

I wrapped the pocket in twine 3 times and covered the knot with a sticker embellishment popped up with foam adhesive.

The insert is cut at 3 3/4 inches and scored and folded to the adjusted height needed/preferred for sticking out of the pocket.

I embellished the inserts with a classic "Merry Christmas" sentiment and tied off my ribbon. As stated above, inside the insert is the gift card and a photo.

Their teachers loved them and I hope you do, too!! 

So, if you need a last minute gift, you can always do a gift card and make up a cute little holder!!! I made 3 of them and it took me less than 20 minutes!!

Thanks for stopping by!! :)
