Perfect for Halloween surprises and party favours, this pumpkin mug gift card holder will hold a standard credit card sized gift card, and can also be used as a greeting card!

The template for this gift card holder comes as a single SVG cut file, and can be found in my Etsy shop. There are six pumpkin face designs included in the download, but you can also choose to make a plain mug using your own solid colour or patterned paper.

To make one, you will need:

* Pumpkin Mug Gift Card Holder template (available as an SVG cut file)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided solid colour or patterned cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Light brown ink pad (optional)
* Craft glue

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the gift card holder, and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : Slide the gift card into the back piece before assembling. This will make it easier to get the gift card in and out. Alternatively, use a piece of plain white card the same size as a gift card.

TIP 2 : Apply glue to the top 2 sections of whipped cream only to attach the two pieces together.
