You may recall back in 2017 I came out with my first Keurig Gift Card Holder pattern. It was time to update it with current Stampin’ Up products! Although the pattern is the same, I wanted to show how you can take the classic pattern and just use new products! You can make any season you would like!
If you would like this pattern, you will see the Halloween instructions, but just know that you can substitute any products for this! I have listed what I used for the Valentine Keurig at the end of this post.

If you’re like me, and hoard Designer Series Paper, Christmas is the time to use some of that up by making your own envelopes! We made these at Stamp Club this month! This is a pocket card that holds a gift card. You can see Santa peeking behind the cup!
The gift card is 4″ x 3″, so that’s the size you want to make when creating your envelope. You can see the chart on the envelope maker on where to make your first score and punch.
The card stock to used to create the gift card holder is 6 3/4″ x 3″, and scored at 3″ on long side. I didn’t adhere sides together, it is held together with ribbon tied around the whole card.
This is one of my very favorite folds because I like to give gift cards as gifts.
Super simple to make! Here are some helpful hints:
Here’s a gift card holder that we made at our Cozy Craft Retreat last month. I just love the Cookie Cutter Bundle! These little gingerbread are hanging out on a cookie sheet and you can see that one gingerbread got part of his head bitten off.
My son has a birthday party to go to today, I swear this is the fastest easiest gift card holder I ever made! Just punch 1″ circles and ink around the edges! Pop them up with Dimensionals and TADA! There you have it! I {heart} the gift card envelope thinlit!!!
One of my favorite swaps at Convention is the Control Freak swap! Here’s my card for that swap – a Chanel bag with a gift card inside! DSP is “Lullaby”. Hand is hand drawn (well with the help of my Silhouette machine!) Fun card that is TOTAL GIRL!
The word “Celebrate” is from a new stamp set you are going to LOVE in the upcoming Holiday Catalog. It’s called Good Greetings!
Here’s a project we made in Stamp Club this month. It’s a gift card holder made out of the Card Base Pop ‘N Cuts Die!

Instructions for Card:
Patti purchased the Tool Bench tutorial (on my sidebar) and this is what she came up with! Isn’t it darling? I LOVE how she added the “ribbon maker” that so many of us own. Patti’s blog can be found HERE. Thanks for sharing this Patti!I think the Tool Bench would make a great Christmas gift, along with a gift certificate to Home Depot or Lowe’s for the man in your life! (It could go to a gal, too, in PINK!)
NOTE: Patti’s Tool Bench was also featured on The Kraft Journal Blog, which can be found HERE!
Here are some purses I made using the pattern from BECKY ROBERTS! You can find these purses patterns, and SO MUCH MORE on her blog. Go check it out right HERE! I am so thankful for her blog because I find SO MANY darling things there!
