Hey there, fellow crafters!

🌬️❄️ Today, I’m excited to share a charming and elegant project with you all – our ‘Whisper of Winter’ Tri-Fold Gift Card Holder. This wintery creation, measuring a 4 inches tall and unfolding to a full 9 inches, is the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication. Crafted from translucent vellum paper, it exudes a soft, wintery feel, ideal for those special gift-giving moments. I’ll be using the serene Winter Meadows Stamp Set and dies to add holly and spruce, creating a scene that’s as peaceful as a quiet winter’s day. Don’t worry if you’re new to crafting or handling vellum; this project is wonderfully straightforward, with just a gentle reminder to be careful when scoring your vellum to avoid tears. Whether you’re wrapping up a gift card for a holiday surprise or a thoughtful gesture, this holder, tied up with a ribbon, is a beautiful way to express your care and creativity. So grab your tools, and let’s get started on this winter crafting journey together! ❄️🎁🌿
