12 Days of Christmas Snowman Gift Card Holder

12 Days of Christmas - Day 10 - Snowman Gift Card Holder

I know, I had to post him as well. For the basic instructions for making the base of the gift card, go here

To make the Snowman Face

• Cut face 2.5 x 2 inches
• Draw eyes, nose, and mouth
• Dry emboss to add texture by running it through the cuttlebug with embossing folder
• Add glitter, well just because I love glitter
• Tip: It is easier to draw the face before you emboss the paper
• Tip: Check out the photo below to see the difference a little glitter makes

To make the Top Hat

• Cut black cardstock approximately 1 in x 2 in
• Find some fun paper to cut the brim of the hat, cut it a little wider than your hat
• Dry emboss to add texture by running it through the cuttlebug with embossing folder
• Add glitter
• Tip: You can use any kind of paper or pattern you like, this is where your personality shines through

Assemble as shown and gift to your heart's content! I have a question for you. When making these snowgirl and snowman gift cards, I made a few extra snowmen because I was thinking if I forgot someone (I mean, it's not like I always forget someone or anything like that, lol) a snowman is more of a unisex gift and that a man might think it odd to get a snowgirl, but a woman would be ok with a snowman. Do you agree?

I hope you have a wonderful day!

12 Days of Christmas Snow Girl Gift Card Holder Tutorial

12 Days of Christmas - Day 9 - Snow Girl Gift Card Holder

If you have been following my blog, you know that I love gift card holders. As the nieces and nephews get older they don't want gifts, instead they want money and gift cards, so I get to indulge in my obsession, lol. This year, snowmen are on the agenda for my gift cards. These are super simple to make, I hope you give them a try.

These are super simple to make, decide what scrapbook paper you will use (this is always a process for me, I always second guess the paper I selected). I am always trying to maximize my paper, so I make them 4x6 so that I can get 6 gift card holders from my 12x12 paper.

Gift Card Holder

• Cut paper to 4x6
• Fold at 1 in and 4 in on the 6 in side
• Glue only the outside edge on the 1 in side
• Slide gift card or money into the pocket (see photo)
• Tip: After I made this batch, I decided that it would be easier if I used some of my washi tape to tape the sides (it makes it much easier)

To make the Snow Girl Face

• Cut face 2.5 x 2 inches
• Draw eyes, nose, and mouth
• Dry emboss to add texture by running it through the cuttlebug with embossing folder
• Add glitter, because what girl doesn't like glitter (lol)
• Tip: It is easier to draw the face before you emboss the paper

To make the Snow Girl Winter Hat

• Cut 2 in circle and cut in half (I used my 2 in circle punch)
• Cut a coordinating trim
• Dry emboss to add texture by running it through the cuttlebug with embossing folder
• Add glitter, I cannot get enough

Assemble as shown.  The possibilities are endless with the colors and styles you can try. Would love to hear your thoughts.
