Watch Me Wednesday :: Holiday Gift Card Sachet


Hey There! I hope you're having a great week! I'm so happy today is Hump Day because it's the end of my work week! YAAAY! But, I'm even more excited to start sharing holiday projects for the WMW video series. Instead of creating a card, I was inspired by a felt pocket I've been holding on to for about two years! I couldn't quite use it, so I thought to create my own version.


I stitched together two 5" x 5" felt squares around the border using my sewing machine. I embellished the front with a few of my favorite current elements.


Using Spellbinders' ornament die template, I created a unique decorative edge.

Here is the simple gift card holder insert. Customize the card with a handwritten sentiment.

Here's how I made it!

Fabulous!!! Not only loving that traditional colour combo but adore the way you wrap up a gift card. In fact, forget the gift card, I'd be thrilled to receive just the card sachet :)
