Gift Card Holders

I made these gift card holders for a swap that I am participating in for December.  I also made these for a Crop that I attended & one of my workshops.  They are a hit with everyone!  They were quick & easy to make & the best part is that you get 3 gift card holders out of one piece of 8.5x11 cardstock!  I've had a few people ask for the directions so I thought I would provide them here on my blog.
