!2 days of Gift Card Holders - Day 12 Adding a Gift Card Pocket

You don't have to make something 3D to hold a gift card.  

There are many ways to add a pocket inside any card to create a gift card holder.

So beat that last minute stress, pull out a card you already have 

and add a pocket for that last minute gift card.

You can use Tear and Tape adhesive, Glue Dots, or Mini Dimensionals, 

to attach your pockets.  Keep in mid the width of the gift card, usually 3.5",

so you can slide it into the pocket.

Also remember, only put adhesive on 3 of the sides.  

Not the side the card slides into.  

I did all 4 sides of the pockets on a set of gift card holders, 

way back, when first selling cards.  That was not funny then, it is now!  :)

Diagonal pockets are great.

You can do a different color for a pop of color inside,

or the same color so it blends into the card base.

This one is cut higher, rather than a 3 sided triangle.

Designer paper makes a great pocket.

This style allows the card to be sideways or to stand up.

Vellum works too.

Gift card holders can also go in the left side of the card.

This will make the greeting, inside the card, the focal point.

So they can be made of anything, go anywhere, making gift giving easier!

Less stress for you!

Happy Holidays!
