Felt Gift Card Holder Tutorial
I am honestly a person who loves to receive a gift card, since I enjoy having the option to choose exactly what I’m wanting or needing. I have to say, though, that when giving gift cards to other people, I tend to feel a bit guilty about the lack of personal touch such a gift…
