This cute gift card holder is one of the available images in Cricut Design Space included with Cricut Access. I’ve included a picture tutorial in the post of how to put it together.

Aren’t these gift card holders so beautiful? In just a few easy steps you can create these fun holders that will give your gift a special touch. I used the *new* deluxe Cricut paper that is now available on Cricut.com. This paper makes the gift card holders so pretty!
Please note, this project requires a scoring stylus. If you don’t have one you can buy one —–> HERE. It is super easy to insert your stylus. I’ve included the steps below. It takes only a few seconds.
Gift Card Holders
Materials Needed:
(Click on any of the words below to purchase that item)
Cricut Machine
Cricut Deluxe Scrapbook Paper
Scoring Stylus
LightGrip Cutting Mat
Open the Design Space link HERE for the gift card.
Instructions:
- Cut out all of your pieces (make sure your scoring stylus is inserted in your machine). You should have a large outer card piece, an inner card holder piece and 4 decorative pieces.
- Carefully bend the large outer card piece and the inner card holder piece where they are scored. There are 3 tabs on the inner card piece which you will bend inwards and one tab on the other side that you will bend outwards.
- Carefully glue the inner card holder piece together by applying glue on the 3 tabs and pressing together.
- Glue the inner card holder piece to the large card piece using the tab that was bent outwards in the previous step. You want to glue it right where the score line is in the middle.
5. Glue two of the decorative pieces to each side, lining up the holes.
6. Glue two of the decorative pieces to the outside of the card holder.
7. Insert your gift card.
8. Tie with ribbon or twine and you are done!
You’ll want to keep making more of these especially with that beautiful watercolor paper.
I love this gift card tutorial, I have not created a gift card holder before. What kind of glue do you use? Thanks
Hi Jenny, I just used an Elmer’s Xtreme glue stick.
I have a new Cricut Explorer Air 2 and am trying to figure it out. I just made this card holder, and it turned out great, but it is too small for a gift card. Do the dimensions need to be changed?
Thank you for the great instructions?
Hi Mariyln! I didn’t change the dimensions when I made these and they fit the gift cards I had, which I think are the standard size. If you needed it to be a little bigger you could always select everything and slightly enlarge it.
Thank you….I don’t think I changed anything, but I will give it another try. Thank you so much for your help!
Would you have directions on how to measure the “cut” size for the older Cricut that uses the Wild Card cartridge? I want to make little envelopes for the money cards and cant get the size right.
thank you. NR
Hi! Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with sizing for the older Cricut. Perhaps if you contacted Cricut Support they could help you?
Hi, I am trying to find this in Design Space and have searched through several images. Any help in looking for something more specific or a way to send it to me? Thanks!
Hi! The image is called : Card Holder #M90AD20 in the To You From Me cartridge in the Design Space library. Here’s a link to it. I’ll also update the post with a link.

Hi Megan! It seems with Cricut’s frequent Design Space updates lately, it keeps messing up links I’ve previously shared. I checked again, and it should work. Try this link

I just made one of these last night and it was awesome! So easy and looks so nice. Thanks,
I have Cricut access and now the card file costs 99 cents. Is there a free file similar to this? Thank you
I know that this is a very old post, but I was wondering if the template is still available somewhere?
Hi Stacy, there is a Design Space link to the gift card holder at the bottom of the materials list.
