Z-Fold Gift Card Holder | Easy Christmas Paper Craft Idea with Stampin’ Up!

Описание: Looking for a Christmas project that’s quick, classy, and guaranteed to wow? This Z-Fold Gift Card Holder is the perfect mix of clever folds and beautiful Designer Series Paper — no complicated tools, just simple steps and stunning results!

Welcome, friends! In today’s cozy, snowy-evening episode of Glue & Giggles, I’m sharing a charming Z-Fold Gift Card Holder that’s just perfect for Christmas giving. If you’re someone who loves handmade cards but also needs practical, giftable ideas for the holidays, this little project is going to make your heart happy.

This project came together after I stumbled across a clever layout from Karen Burke of Razzle Dazzle Ink — and you know me, I had to try it! After making a few versions in silver, gold, and then Pretty Peacock, I was smitten. It’s classic, elegant, a little nostalgic, and wonderfully easy to recreate.

This Z-Fold design opens in a fun accordion style, giving you a spot to tuck a gift card in a secure pocket while still leaving room to write a personalized message. It’s the kind of thoughtful, handmade touch that makes even a simple gift card feel special. Whether you're crafting for family, coworkers, neighbours, or slipping one into a holiday basket, this design is quick enough to mass-produce and lovely enough to feel like a keepsake.

Inside the video, you’ll see step-by-step instructions as I walk through:
• The card base cutting and scoring (10½" × 7" with simple score lines)
• The little rectangle cuts that create the Z-Fold shape
• How I fold the panels for a smooth finish
• Why corner rounding adds such a polished look
• The easiest way to assemble the pocket so your gift card stays put
• How I choose coordinating Designer Series Paper and cardstock
• Stamping tips with the Jolly Holly stamp set
• A smart adhesive tip so your pocket never sticks shut
• How to add ribbon using a hole-punch and even a floss threader
• Ideas for decorating with die-cut bells, greetings, and embellishments

This design is especially lovely with holiday colours like Pretty Peacock, Garden Green, silver and gold glimmer, or any traditional paper you already have in your stash. It would also make adorable birthday, wedding, or thank-you gift card holders — just change the paper and sentiment to suit the occasion.

If you're a crafter who loves:
• Simple, classy layouts
• Traditional Christmas crafting
• Step-by-step instruction
• Designs that are easy to duplicate
• Ways to use your Designer Series Paper beautifully
…then this project is absolutely for you.

You’ll see me share a few extra cards at the end as well, including team swaps, a fun folded-circles design from my Zoom With Friends group, and a shadow-ink technique that adds wonderful dimension behind die cuts. These community moments are part of what makes crafting so special — and I’m so grateful you join me here each week.
