Make and Take - Birthday Gift Card Holder

Recently Hayden and I went to a Make and Take. For my non-crafty folks :-) a Make and Take is where you go to a craft get together, learn how to make something and then take it home with you. They are so cool, and Hayden and I had a really good time.

The project was a gift card holder. I had seen pictures of one online, but never tried my hand at it. It was sooo easy, and fun, and they turned out super cute.


Hayden's (standing up) and my (laying down) gift card holder.
I was so proud of Hayden's creativity. He really went all out - inking the edges of his white cardstock, using two sentiments, making his candle multi colored, coloring in his sprinkles, and he even got his candle perfect. As you can see one of mine is kinda' floating. Oh well, I still like it.


Inside (open) view. You can decorate the inside too, we just didn't.

Another inside view. The gift card fits perfectly!

I could totally do that!! I don't have one of the punches we used at the make and take, but we could improvise :-) I'm glad you like it.

Julie, it appears you already have a following and customers in the waiting! . . .and I know where you could get that punch in the mean time :)
