Since this challenge has the option to create a Gift Card Holder, I have
a quick an easy Gift Card Holder Tutorial to share....

Supplies:
~ Regular card supplies: Card Base, Patterned or stamped background paper, main image.
My card base is 5.5" x 5.5" but any size will work.
~ The only thing you need to make sure of is that
the main image panel needs to be at least 1/2" wider than the gift card
Determine how far you want the gift card to stick out behind the image,
then add tape on the back of the image panel at that point....

This will ensure that the gift card will always stay peeking out.
Just make sure to leave plenty of room along the sides so that the gift card can easily slide out.

Attach the image panel to your backgound, then insert the gift card...


Attach the background panel to your card base and finish decorating...
That is a quick an easy Gift Card Holder card - no extra supplies needed!!
