How to Make a Cozy Coffee Gift Card Holder

How to Make a Cozy Coffee Gift Card Holder

If you’re gift giving to a coffee lover give them a gift card to their favorite coffee shop in a handmade coffee themed gift card holder. Nicki created this delicious and cozy card with a rounded flap that has a die cut Cup of Joe and some tasty cookies.  For the cookies she die cut and dry embossed them, adding some white pigment ink for color and texture and glitter for sugar. I love how the bold red mug pops on the blue card base!

Inside on the flap is a pocket for the gift card and a sweet stamped and die cut sentiment.
