It's Day 2 of our moxie fab 350 Cards & Gifts Week, friends, and I'm super excited to introduce our next challenge: gift card holders.
Being the ultra generous and oh-so-giving paper crafters that we are, we recognize that while gift cards are convenient for us and fun for the recipient, they aren't quite as personal as other gifts. Our solution? Create a hand-crafted gift card holder such as these yummies from the magazine itself:

Moxie Fab Alert: What a cute and trendy way to house a gift card for a new mama. Open the flap and discover a a gifty treasure tucked away inside!
For You Gift Card Holder by Windy Robinson, p. 41
Moxie Fab Alert: Perfect for a bride and groom, a mom, or a girlfriend whose style is on the elegant side, this gorgeous gift card holder makes it personal--and pretty--without a great deal of effort.
Thanks Sew Much Gift Card Holder by Jessica Witty, p. 60
Moxie Fab Alert: Oh my cuteness! Lookadis trendy, sweet, and fun way to enclose a gift card! Mucho moxie fabuloso!
Whaddayatink? Are you ready to make a gift card holder for someone you care about? Or maybe you want to make a bunch to have on hand? Today's challenge will give you the impetus to do just that!

I posted my paper cupcake that is a gift card holder. So cute - and no calories! :)

Mine is a leftover from Christmas.
I have a ton of stuff cut out for some new ones though...getting busy!
I posted a gift card holder I made to save it for Mother's Day.
I made a cup shaped card to give out... thanks for the inspiration!
here is a gift card i made just today. a little bling and a little flower...
Awesome challenge! I linked up my post... with 2 variations on the same card - Does that count as 2 entries? ;)
This was so fun, hopefully I'll get some more done, thanks!
Cath, Linky is gone from this blog entry? I wanted to see what other have submitted but I don't see it anymore. :-(
Another awesome challenge, Cath :) can't wait to see what everyone else has made!
This was just what I needed to inspire me not to just stick a gift card inside my SIL's birthday card, where it will just fall in her lap when she opens it! LOL! I'll definitely be doing this again!
love making gifts... and gift card holders are part of that! Thanks for this challenge!
