Christmas

Holiday Packaging/ Gift Giving Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you.  We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.

If you’re looking for a fun, creative, and truly unique way to present a gift card, these little gift card holders are my all-time favorite—and I think they’ll become yours too! This design is completely original, and the finished project looks like an adorable miniature gift bag with “tissue paper” peeking out the top. It’s the perfect way to turn a simple gift card into something memorable.

One of the best parts? You can make these using any Designer Series Paper you already have in your stash. Whether you prefer bold patterns, elegant florals, or festive holiday prints, this project adapts beautifully.

The full tutorial bundle includes 13 different projects, each with detailed measurements and step-by-step directions. Where else can you get written instructions for about a dollar per project? It’s an incredible value—and a wonderful resource for crafters of all levels.

With clear measurements and easy-to-follow steps, this gift card holder comes together quickly. I’ve made dozens of them myself, and I know you’ll enjoy creating them just as much. Your friends and family will love receiving them, too! You’ll receive it free with a $35 order- order here, or you can purchase it for $15 here.

Here’s my easy Kit Kat Treat Holder that I made for today’s blog hop.

Do you prefer the elf or the snowman? The are both from the Festive Friends Bundle.
