Hip Hop {Thursday}

Welcome to another fun day of hoppin'! You should be joining me from the Unity blog today!

This week, I made a card and a gift card holder for you. For my card, I used the Unity Jesus is the Reason single. This is a card I actually made for my Secret Santa. I sure hope she doesn't see this. I guess it won't be so "secret" anymore if she does. :) I also used my favorite Basic Grey Wassail papers and the gorgeous ribbon is from Stampin' Up! I decorated the tree in Diamond Stickles but you really can't see it in the picture. Do you need a very quick gift card holder? Well, here is one that just takes a matter of minutes.

**Cut a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock and round the corners.
**3 1/4" of the way day your card, use your craft knife to cut a 3/4" strip that you will slip the gift card through.
**Add a piece of patterned paper over the strip if you would like.
**Use a Christmas or sentiment stamp across the top. I used the Unity Sleigh Ride single here, and it fits perfectly in the space! I also embossed it with Ranger Seafoam White embosssing powder. I then used the Merry Christmas sentiment from Unity Bitty Christmas Tags across the strip in the middle.
**Decorate, slide the card in, and you are ready to go! This particular gift card holder is super simple. It could be dressed up a lot more but I needed something quick. :) I hope this helps some of you that may need a very quick way to give a gift card!
