5 Days of Christmas | Gift Card Holders | Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of my series on gift card holders!  Did you miss any?  See them here:

• Day 1

It doesn't get any easier than this!  I used a Stampin' Up! mini shipping box to create this gift card holder.  The boxes come in packs of 8 and are scored and ready to assemble.  Just fold!  The finished dimensions are 4" x 3" x 2-5/8", so you could add some special chocolates along with a gift card, or fill it with crumpled strips of cardstock to act as a nest for the gift card.

Supplies used for this holder:

• Perfectly Plaid stamp set
• Pine Tree Punch 
• Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper (DSP)
• Shaded Spruce/Gold Striped Ribbon
• Shaded Spruce ink and cardstock
• Cherry Cobbler ink
• Whisper White cardstock
• Stitched Nested Labels dies
• Basics Holiday Rhinestones Jewels
• Stampin' Up! Mini Shipping Boxes

A favorite trick of mine is to curl ribbon ends with a Bone Folder.  I tie the bow, leaving long tails, then take my bone folder and run it several times along each tail.  It adds a touch of playfulness and fullness!

I left the back of the box plain, except for some Wrapped In Plaid DSP.  

The only measurements you need for this holder are the ones for the Wrapped In Plaid DSP that covers the box sides:

• 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" (2 pieces)
• 2-1/2" x 2-1/4" (2 pieces)

Bonus: The 6"x6" Wrapped In Plaid paper stack is perfect for cutting these!  1 sheet is all you need per box.  You'll be left with a 1-1/2" x 6" strip that you can shred for filler in the box; cut into skinny strips, curl, and add to box top; or use as a mat for a sentiment on the box front.

Check out two other ways I used the Stampin' Up! Mini Shipping Boxes:
