It’s already Day 4 of our “12 Days of Holiday Giving” and the inspiration continues with creative team member Stacy Cohen and the giveaways are plenty from our sweet friends at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and We R Memory Keepers. Oh, and we’ve added a little prize in there from SCT too! Let’s get singing our favourite song…on the 4th day of “SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving, SCT shared with me”…(and it’s not 4 calling birds!)

“Happy Holidays everyone!  Stacy Cohen here today with a holiday project to share.

Gift cards are still very popular gifts, but some people might say they aren’t very personal.  So I like to add a personal touch to them by making handmade gift card holders.  Here’s a set I made using a basic pillow box die-cut.

Tip: When making sets of anything (e.g., cards, tags, etc.), stretch your supplies by making your die-cuts do double duty.  I die-cut a glittery star to use on one gift card holder, but before adhering it I used it as a template for stitching a star on another gift card holder.  Here are the steps for making the green gift card holder pictured above.

I die-cut the pillow box using a Sizzix die.

I die-cut a star and used it as a template for punching stitching holes.

Gold embroidery thread adds a little holiday shimmer.

I added gems and pearls to the inside of the stitched star.  Then to finish off the gift card holder, I adhered a big organza bow.

Thank you for stopping by the SCT blog today!  I wish everyone good health, happiness and love during the holiday season.  And may all your dreams for the coming year be fulfilled! ~ Stacy Cohen

Thank you Stacy! We love those gift card holders and love the added tips you’ve shared!
