If you are looking for a new way to give gift cards, try making a gift card wreath! This is a creative way to wrap gift cards that anyone is sure to love.

Gift cards are one of my favorite things, you guys. I know some people don’t love to give gift cards because they feel like it isn’t personal or thoughtful, but I totally disagree. Especially if you go to the effort to choose a gift card to somewhere that the person you’re buying for LOVES to shop or eat at. It’s the gift of an experience!

One thing that is kind of a challenge though, is wrapping gift cards. You can put them into a card, but sometimes you want to do something a little different. That’s where this gift card wreath comes in!

I just got the new Cricut Explore Air 2 and I wanted to use it to make some awesome gift card envelopes, then make a wreath out of them.

GIFT CARD WREATH

Some of the envelopes have gift cards in them, others can have notes inside with things that you love about the person, or thank you notes, that kind of stuff.

I made the gift card envelopes with foil embossed paper and I cut some paper flowers to embellish it with as well.

HOW TO MAKE GIFT CARD ENVELOPES WITH A CRICUT

Materials:

4-5 variations of card stock. I love these pink and silver foil papers that came in my Wisteria bundle!
Cricut
Light Grip Mat
Quick Dry Tacky Glue

Instructions:

Place a piece of card stock onto a light grip cutting mat & load into your Cricut.
Load this gift card envelope template into Cricut Design Space.
Make sure your machine is set to Card Stock.
Cut!
Repeat this until you have 12-16 gift card envelopes cut.
Fold the envelopes and glue them together. (I like to use Quick Dry Tacky Glue)

HOW TO MAKE PAPER FLOWER POPPIES WITH A CRICUT

Materials:

2-3 variations of card stock
Cricut
Light Grip Mat
Quick Dry Tacky Glue

Instructions:

Place a piece of card stock onto a light grip cutting mat & load into your Cricut.
In Cricut Design Space, go to Images and search Poppy #MA3E13 – this is included if you have a Cricut Access subscription!
This 3D flower has a lot of parts. Since I was making a few of them I decided to Ungroup the parts and just cut the petals first, then cut the pistils next. (I opted not to cut leaves.)
Make sure your machine is set to Card Stock.
Cut! Repeat this step again for the pistils.
Roll the pistils up and secure with tacky glue as you go.
Bend the petals and glue it all together.

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT CARD WREATH WITH PAPER ENVELOPES

Materials:

12-16 Small Gift Card Envelopes
3 or more paper flowers
Wire wreath form
Scotch Tape
Gift Cards
Small Notes
Glue Dots
Ribbon (optional)

Instructions:

Fill gift card envelopes with gift cards and sweet notes for your person. Use glue dots to close the envelopes.
Arrange the gift card envelopes on the wreath form until you like the pattern, and add paper flowers too.
Once you have an idea of how you like it, secure the envelopes to the wreath form with scotch tape. (We want this to be relatively easy to open!)
Use tape to secure the flowers too.
Add ribbon for hanging the wreath.

Sooo fun, right!? Loving this idea for wrapping gift cards. I made this with Mother’s Day in mind, and I can’t wait to make a Christmas version later this year!

I hope you’ll try this one next time you’re giving some gift cards!
