Little Ripples Gift Card Envelopes~Ready to be delivered!

As a fan of gift cards, I'm always looking for fun ways to present them...because, let's face it, it doesn't take a lot of effort to purchase a card, and they aren't very personalized.
Here is a fun and thoughtful way to give a gift card this year...and they can even be used to hold credit or ID cards, as well! Or, for you business types, how about stashing your business cards inside? Follow me for the free pattern~ |
