I can’t begin to tell you how many times we’ve watched the movie, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. It’s one of our must watch movies during the holidays. It’s up there with “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring Jimmy Stewart. Did you know that movie was made in 1946? Just a little fun fact.
Here’s a gift card holder created in honor of The Grinch. The holder is super easy to create. It took more time for me to pick out which DSP to use.
Products used can be purchased through my Stampin’ Up! on-line store, unless otherwise stated. You can find my website information under SHOP.

Instructions:
- Tip: I used my bone folder and ran it across the center of the 2” flap first before adding tear and tape to both sides of the edge. Doing this will help prevent such a tight fit when you insert the gift card.
- Stamp your sentiment on the inside Basic White.
- Stamp your outside sentiment on scrap Basic White.
- Using your Cut & Emboss machine die cut the Basic White fur, Granny Apple Green hands, Real Red circle and Basic White circle.
- Now you’re ready to assemble the gift card.
- Tip: When adhering the ornament, only add adhesive to the top portion so it adheres only to the top flap.
