I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I sure did! Boy does it come and go so quickly though!

Well it’s getting close to the start of 2010 and on January 1st I will start my guest stay at another store and this is what I will have to kick start it off . . .

This Christmas we are giving some family members gift vouchers and I wanted to wrap them in a fun way, so this is how they are being done.

I have made these up with Cori’s and my Christmas Wonder collab kit as well as from Sahlin Studio’s Season of Giving. The cardstock is a glitter cardstock by DCWV

To make them I cut a 12″x4″ strip of card and folded it as per these instructions, ignore the cutting areas at this stage. (I used 12″x4″ simply because I would get 3 cards out of a 12″x12″ sheet, you could do any size you wanted.)

Run some thin tape in the area indicated by the blue shaded area and stick it to the green shaded area. This forms the pocket your gift card is going to sit into. Grab your gift card and centre it along the pocket and mark the ends of it so you know where to cut your semi circle from. I traced around a coffee mug to give me my semi circle  line to cut along. Cut it out and slide in your gift card.

For the front of the card I created a 4×4 document in photoshop and placed in the papers and elements I wanted to use, then simply printed it out, trimmed it up and stuck it to the front of the card.

They are super dooper easy to make and you could certainly decorate inside the card if you wanted to as well.
