Gift cards are always appreciated, but a handmade touch makes them extra special.
Today we’re creating a beautiful card with a secret—inside is a hidden slide-out gift card holder! It’s such a fun, personal way to give a gift that shows you care.
This project combines simple folds with a clever design that’s easy to recreate. You can use any Designer Series Paper or color combination to fit the occasion — from holidays and birthdays to thank-you gifts and celebrations.
