Gift card holder - Christmas Trio Block

I've got 5 nephews and as they grow older it's quite difficult to come up with ideas for Christmas gifts. And when I ask what they want for Christmas, money is on the top of the list (and sometimes the only thing on the list).

So to make a money gift a bit more personal I'm making gift card/money holders. This one is being kept closed by small magnets. Here I used Christmas Trio Block from Bugaboo, colored with Promarkers. Papers are freebie ones. I also used red corrugated paper.

This is also for:
Fab n Funky - #482 Anything but a Card
Allsorts - #573 Ginghams, Stripes and Dots
Crafty Catz - #507 ANYTHING GOES - OPTIONAL: SPOTS AND/OR STRIPES

    This is such a great idea-I just use an envelope-so lazy! This though I love! The images are so fun and love that you used red corrugated card with the soft blue-an unusual mix but works so well x

    A great way to gift them cash or vouchers Pia, yet it's still a fun card to open

    A super gift card holder Pia, great images - like you say it is difficult to buy gifts for youngsters, your gift card holder will certainly make the gift of money more personal.

    Magnets! I do love the depth of the layers and I'm sure your nephews will smile at the Christmas characters before grabbing the cash!
