Aren’t these gift card holders so beautiful? In just a few easy steps you can create these fun holders that will give your gift a special touch. I used the *new* deluxe Cricut paper that is now available on Cricut.com.  This paper makes the gift card holders so pretty!

Please note, this project requires a scoring stylus. If you don’t have one you can buy one —–> HERE. It is super easy to insert your stylus. I’ve included the steps below. It takes only a few seconds.

Materials Needed:

Cricut Machine
Cricut Deluxe Scrapbook Paper
Scoring Stylus
LightGrip Cutting Mat

Open the Design Space link HERE for the gift card. 

Instructions:

  1. Cut out all of your pieces (make sure your scoring stylus is inserted in your machine). You should have a large outer card piece, an inner card holder piece and 4 decorative pieces.
  2. Carefully bend the large outer card piece and the inner card holder piece where they are scored. There are 3 tabs on the inner card piece which you will bend inwards and one tab on the other side that you will bend outwards.
  3. Carefully glue the inner card holder piece together  by applying glue on the 3 tabs and pressing together.
  4. Glue the inner card holder piece to the large card piece using the tab that was bent outwards in the previous step. You want to glue it right where the score line is in the middle.

  1. I have a new Cricut Explorer Air 2 and am trying to figure it out. I just made this card holder, and it turned out great, but it is too small for a gift card. Do the dimensions need to be changed?
    Thank you for the great instructions?

    1. Hi Mariyln! I didn’t change the dimensions when I made these and they fit the gift cards I had, which I think are the standard size. If you needed it to be a little bigger you could always select everything and slightly enlarge it.

  2. Would you have directions on how to measure the “cut” size for the older Cricut that uses the Wild Card cartridge? I want to make little envelopes for the money cards and cant get the size right.
    thank you. NR

  3. Hi, I am trying to find this in Design Space and have searched through several images. Any help in looking for something more specific or a way to send it to me? Thanks!
