Sometimes, it's hard to know what holiday gift to give to certain people.  That's where gift cards, cash and checks come in.  Dress up these types of gifts with a customized card holder.  There's an inside pocket where you can tuck the gift card, cash or check into.

The great thing about this template is you can use all sorts of patterned paper (although I love this classic peaceful log cabin scene from the Peaceful Place Specialty Paper).  You can use this template for birthdays and thank you's too - save this email to refer to whenever you are going to give the gift of card or cash.

1. Cut card base out of Basic Gray card stock, 4-1/4” x 11” and score at 1-1/2” & 5-1/2”.  Fold on both score lines.
2. Cut three pieces of Peaceful Place Specialty Paper:  Front of card - 3-3/4” x 4”, two inner side panels-  1-1/4” x 4” each.  Cut inside Basic White panel 3-3/4” x 4”.  Adhere all four pieces.
3. Before adhering the fold over pocket, punch the outer edge in the middle (makes it easier to pull out gift card).  See photo of inside of card below.  You can use a circle punch too.
4. Adhere the top and bottom edges of pocket and fold closed.  Place glue only on top and bottom edges so there is room to slide in gift card.
5. Heat emboss message with white embossing powder on 4-1/4” x 3/4” Basic Gray.
6. Cut snowflakes in Basic White with snowflake dies.
7. Adhere snowflakes to front and back sides of greeting.  Adhere snowflake to inside panel of card.
