It's not too early to prepare for the 2016 Graduate and here's a gift card holder created with some beautiful products from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.

This is not just for gift cards as you can tuck some cash or a check inside as well.  Your DIY presentation will make your gift extra special.

Let's take a look at the video with the how-to...

Lisa's Inklings:

• Base for box is cut at 3 3/4 x 7 1/2.
• Score on long side at 3/4", 3 1/2",4 1/4", and 7".
• Turn and score at 3/4".
• DSP cut at 2 1/2" x 2 3/4.  Cut another piece 2" x 4".
• Cut thin strips of Mint Macaron card stock for filler.
