Hello.
I have been making cards for 25 years or more. I volunteer at assisted living home to help seniors make cards. It is upsetting that you’re sure will not let me print out the directions to make a card. Instead I have to recoup everything by hand. Other card artists are more friendly and encouraging to their readers. Crafters help other crafters.
Sorry you don’t like the way I provide instructions both via my blog as well as a video. I spend hours and hours every day providing instructions completely free to all of my followers. I am not quite sure what else you expect? You certainly can print out the instructions from the blog if you want.
Crafters help crafters huh, Joan? Well I think Jackie does a GREAT job at being encouraging and helping other crafters. She breaks down the card (even if its not in a printable format) and shows you with video. What more do you need? Her to do your project too? I’m sorry but the time it takes Jackie to record and edit her videos and come up with ideas is more then enough. Just deal or move on. It is not that hard to print of the instructions if you write them down and type it yourself.
Joan, I’m sorry you feel this way…Jackie has always given great instructions & has always provided a link for printing her cards. I’ m 77 yrs young & have no problem printing out instructions and also pictures of her cards …Hope you figure it out!
Very cute gift card! I make quite a few of them through out the year and it’s fun to have different ideas to choose from. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad you liked this idea. They are super fun to make. Thanks for watching Pam!
I love this gift card holder. As you say” quick and easy”. Thank you
I’m glad that you like this Deb. Have a stamp happy day!!
Thank you Jackie,
I like this card very much. I will use him for a workshop.
Kind regards from the Netherlands.
Janet
Great! Have a wonderful day!
Jackie – The link for your post from yesterday (Christmas papers) doesn’t seem to work. Error is 404 page not found.
Thanks Marilyn, I am sorry but that went out by accident as I was working on the blog post….
It will post again, for real this time, in a week or so.
Love, Love, Love this gift card! So simple to make. This will definitely come in handy over the upcoming holidays!
Thank You!
Makes me smile to hear you say you enjoyed this project Shirley! Thanks so much!!
Thank you Jackie. Really cute cards. Love the idea.
Thanks Trudy! Have a stamp happy day!
I like the cute gift card holders. What color of ink did you use to stamp the tags?
Thanks!
Michelle, that was pumpkin pie ink color. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome!!
Thanks Jackie for the great idea and super style of card for a gift card. Wanted to give a gift card to my granddaughters, hair dresser, and doctors little boys. Just what I needed. I think this will always be my go to card for a gift card or money holder?
So happy you like the idea Lois and that you are using it. It’s so easy and you certainly can make for any occasion.
Hi Jackie
I was really interested in using xmas paper for something other than xmas, but your always helpful information did not come through. Perhaps you could see what happened or try again to make it so we could all enjoy your helpfulness.
Thanks for everything you do to help us, and bring new ideas to us at least three times per week. I don’t think I understand Joan’s comment above. If it is a putdown, pay it no mind.
Best wishes,
Karren
Karren, I am sorry but that went out by accident as I was working on the blog post….
It will post again, for real this time, in a week or so. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy today’s gift card holder idea.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I do my best to bring tons of free content to all of you and I spend hours each day designing, creating/editing videos, writing blog posts and taking all of the photos. The fact is, this is my business and while I love giving ya’ll free stuff I have to have the occasional “sales” video for my card classes and kits and I can’t please everyone. I do my best though and I appreciate your words of support Karren! Have a stamp happy day!!
I am soooo in love with this gift card holder idea! I watched the video yesterday and made several today. Oh…my…gosh. I will be making a whole bunch of these up. Seems like whenever I get ready to send gift cards, I don’t have a holder card made up. And the ones I see…as I’m in a gigantic hurry…take way too much time! This turned out so very pretty. I used fall papers and colors for my adult granddaughter’s birthday gift card. Thanks so much for sharing this idea through your video. I’m a new subscriber and plan to follow all your videos and blog. Your cards are gorgeous!
Welcome Sherrie! So glad you are here, following and that you got some useful ideas to make. Happy Birthday to your granddaughter. I just know she’ll LOVE your handmade gift card holder!
Love this! Can’t wait to make some for Christmas and birthdays!
I LOVE hearing that you plan to make these Rose!
I just made three of them for birthdays using the magnolia paper and stamp set. Turned out gorgeous! Thanks so much!
I love love LOVE hearing that you made these Kathy. Happy birthday to those family and friends and I just KNOW they will love your handmade creation!!
I love this card idea. Thank you for the video AND blog. Its so easy to cut and paste the instru tions to print out and add to my collection. Sending you hugs!
I’m so glad the project fits your needs and you enjoy them. Have a stamp happy day!
