Over the last few months, I’ve been focusing on designing a range of papercraft gift card holders. They are so much fun to create, and make gift giving so much easier, especially if you are having to post it. My latest design is this beautiful, vintage dress!

Designed to compliment my dress favour box, this stunning dress gift card holder will hold a standard credit card sized gift card, and can also be used as a greeting card!

Theย template for this gift card holder comes as a single SVG cut file, and can be found in my Etsy shop.
To make one, you will need:
* Dress Gift Card Holder template (available as an SVG cut file)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Patterned cardstock and solid colour cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue
Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the gift card holder, and be sure to follow the tips below:
TIP 1 : Gently curl the sides of the dress panels upwards, then apply glue to the centre part only. Once the glue is dry, you can gently raise the edges up to create more dimension.


TIP 2 : Apply glue to ยพ of the belt only. Attach the glued end to the centre of the front, wrap it around the back and allow it to line back up where it started.

TIP 3 : You can glue the buckle on here if you wish, or trim the remainder of the belt and glue the bow on.

TIP 4 : Slide the gift card into the back, or use a piece of plain white card to turn it into a greeting card and add your own handwritten message.

Once assembled, your pretty dress gift card holder is ready to go and, because it folds flat, it can easily be popped into a 7″ x 7″ envelope for posting!

When opened up, it becomes freestanding, and is perfect for birthday cards, Mother’s day, teacher gifts or as a unique wedding day gift!

Happy crafting!
