I added small tags, some berries and greenery, a stamp, and a gold ribbon bow to my trio. And I chose some of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Backdrops patterned papers and a few Idea-ology Christmas Stickers, both included in the card kit, to give these gift card envelopes some vintage holiday flair. I love how these little envelopes turned out, and they came together in no time. Choosing my patterned paper combinations took me longer than anything else! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"656\" data-attachment-id=\"4192\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mycraftytrails.com\/?attachment_id=4192\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sss-gift-card-holders-3.jpg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3100&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1766514641&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.003125&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SSS Gift Card Holders-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sss-gift-card-holders-3.jpg?fit=656%2C656&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycraftytrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/sss-gift-card-holders-3.jpg?resize=656%2C656&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4192\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Thanks for stopping by to see my last-minute project using the Simon Says Stamp Bright Christmas December Card Kit of the Month.
