I’m a bit behind this week due to the virus that has descended upon my household. Things are looking up today. During times like these, I realize how blessed I am to be a SAHM. I could stay home and take care of my sick punk….and then share the love with the rest of my family, as I contracted it yesterday. So glad I don’t have anywhere to be and I can lay in bed and recover.
On to the 12 weeks of Christmas…..this is week 9! A super cute gift card wallet. We love giving gift cards for any occasion and why not jazz it up with this cute wallet?
The “wallet” is old olive 4 3/4 x 8 1/2 …scored at 3 1/4 and 6 1/2. Next time, I think I’d use textured cardstock or run it thru the big shot to give it some texture. I also rounded the corners.
Here’s the inside: there is room for 3 gift cards made by sealing Very Vanilla envelopes shut, then cutting them down to 2 3/8 and adhering them together. I used the 1 1/4 circle and punched half of it in the center of the envelopes so the card shows through.
On the bottom, is a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock cut to 4 x 10 and scored every 2 1/2 to make it fold up accordion style. This is great if you are giving a gift from many people…..plenty of room to sign.

This is ideal for teacher, coach, bus driver, scout leader etc.
The belly band is designer paper from Jolly Holiday and is 1 1/2 x 7 1/4. I stamped a sentiment from Perfect Punches in Cherry Cobbler ink and punched out with the scallop circle.
Enjoy!! See you next week!
