A Christmas Stocking Gift Card Holder

Good morning everyone!

As promised I am back today with the last of the Gift Card Holders that I created with the Crazy 4 Challenges Gift Card Holder challenge in mind. As I said in my post yesterday (scroll down if you missed that post) I did indeed go a little crazy over these gift card holders. I am not sure why because I don’t even give gift cards out at Christmas time, but I do like playing with new ideas, construction type cards etc and these were all so much fun.

A couple of weeks ago on SCS, the try a new technique challenge was to create a stocking gift card holder. I didn’t get to play at the time but did put it on my list of wanting to try it one day. If you want the details on how to create one of these cards you can find them here.

These are lots of fun to create and very easy too! As the designer paper I used had lollies all over it I decided to use one of the lollies and the “To” & “From” sentiment from the “I want Candy” stamp set that is included in MFT Stamps December Kit of the Month.

Here is an inside view of the stocking gift card holder. To help keep this closed I used Basic Grey’s Magnet Discs, I just love these. You can’t actually see the magnet discs because I have hidden it underneath the layers of card, that is how thin they are!
