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.
