I like to send a thank-you card and my business card or magnet with orders I send out, and these are perfect. You could also use these little gift card envelopes to adorn your holiday packages.

Decorative Gift Card Envelopes

Materials

  • 8 ½” x 11″ paper (I used regular 20-pound copy paper.)
  • Wax paper
  • Glue stick
  • Cup of your favorite brew (This craft is addictive, so you might be here awhile.)

Tools

  • Cutting mat or ruler
  • Paper cutter
  • Edge punch (The one I used is from the Martha Stewart line.)

Directions

  1. Cut your sheet of paper into quarters (each will now be 4.25″ x 5.5″).

  3. Using the edge of your cutting mat for sizing (or a ruler) fold short edges so that they overlap in the center and width is reduced to 2.5″.

  5. With wax paper underneath to protect your work surface, run a glue stick down top overlap edge, and bottom long edge. Fold short overlap edges to center, and then fingerpress to secure glued edges.
