Friends of Unity October Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity October Blog Hop. We are featuring anything but a card this month. This month I decided to share a quick and easy gift card holder. I was inspired by this video. Nothing is better than using what you have and not buying special dies to create this. I used the Stampin Up note cards as indicated in the video, but I think a standard A2 card could be modified easily to work.

I have purchased dies to make gift card holders in the past and find that they take several steps to make and assemble just one. This video was quick and simple and will more than likely be something I will create again. I love clean and simple, and if its quick too... that seals the deal! I hope you are able to watch the video and consider creating this quick gift card holder too. 





 Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see what they created with this cue:

  11. Loved the video! My fear of giving a gift card "somewhere" in a card is that they wont see it in there hidden in that pouch thingy. This is a terrific can't miss it idea. Thanks a bunch! Happy Halloween!
