Birthday Gift Card Holder

*****CLICK HERE FOR MY BIRTHDAY CANDY GIVEAWAY*****
Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great week. 

I want to share with you a gift card holder I made. My son had to go to a birthday party Sunday afternoon and I only found the birthday invitation in his backpack on Sunday morning. LOL. That's a rush! So I thought that the gift card holders I made during Christmas would be perfect and super quick. To tell the truth I just used these to put cash in. I just fold up the bills and put it in the little slit. 

So, I went to my little craft room and made this in a little over 5 minutes. I got all the specs from Mary over at CardzTV. She is amazing. She has made hundreds of videos. Make sure you go check her out and tell I sent you.

Patterned Paper - ATD-Family Outings

Cardstock - Recollections
