DIY: Card Sleeves
I have accumulated a stack of gift cards and the thought of losing them was giving me panic attacks. So as a solution to keep myself sane, I made these little card sleeves. They are exactly what you can buy here.
Since I had no luck in finding a pre-made template online, I had to create my own in Word. It was easy. I drew a 4.75" by 3.625" box, just a wee bigger than the standard size you can buy because I wanted to be able to fit two gift cards in one sleeve. I then drew a dotted line right down the middle, where I would score+fold. Next, I placed two rectangular boxes outside of the big box - for gluing. Finally, since I was short on time, I simply put a large dot in the middle as the "design" and called it a day.
Once the template is done and printed on cardstock, the rest is even easier. I don't think it requires explanation. You can even cut the template and trace it on a pretty scrapbook paper for a different look.
Now that all my gift cards all have a home, I can breath a sigh of relief. And it was a fun, quick project to boot!
