Ephemera Queen Gift Card Holder

By Lea Muskotevc aka Memories By Lea 

 

“Hello, G45 Crafters!

Today I would like to share with you a Club G45 -Vol 05 project that was previously created by Kathy Clement. Kathy created a beautiful Gift Card Holder.  

Here is my take on her project. I used the Ephemera Queen collection for my Gift Card Holder.

 

Tip: The inside pocket could be also used for tucking money into the pocket when given as a gift.

 

Tip: To the opposite flap add an Ephemera Card for journaling. If your handwriting is not something you are comfortable with then use Ephemera Card with a beautiful quote instead.

 

 

To make this quick Gift Card Holder, follow the tutorial below.
