Gift Card Holder-Fold the card 2/3 up from the bottom. Press hard to make a crease.

-Fold the top left and right corners downward. Press hard to crease.
Handy Envelope for Other Gifts Too
Fold the bottom 2/3 upward at the crease created at Step 2 and place the gift card inside. Fold the top down and seal with double stick tape. Your gift card holder is ready for giving. You can use this as an envelope for jewelry and other small gift items as well.
-Send holiday cards to St. Jude's Ranch, a nonprofit home for youths that collects old holiday cards for reuse. Either cut off the backs of the cards or leave them intact. Children at St. Jude's earn money by creating new holiday cards from the old.
-Mail the cards UPS "ground" or "bound printed matter" to St. Jude's Card Recycling, 100 St. Jude Street, P.O. Box 60100, Boulder City, NV 89006.
-Cut off the backs of old holiday cards that do not have writing behind the front and use them as postcards.
-Create your own card by cutting and pasting parts of old cards onto a new blank card. You can find packages of blank cards at most arts and crafts stores.
-Use old holiday cards as gift tags by cutting them into square or rectangular shapes and punching holes in the corners for string or ribbon.
-Make placemats out of holiday cards instead of buying new ones. Cut out pictures or shapes from the old cards, place them between two pieces of contact paper and press together.
-Save holiday cards for arts and crafts throughout the year if you have children.
