Money Gift Card Holders

Money Gift Card Holders are the perfect thoughtful gift to give for any occasion! I've designed a variety of different styles to fit any occasion.

These money cards are a clever way to gift cash, and they leave plenty of room inside for a handwritten note. And if we're being honest, who doesn't love receiving cold hard cash with a thoughtful note? This gift card is sure to be well received!

Eleven finished money gift card holders

There are six themes to choose from: Congratulations, Wedding, Birthday, Baby Shower, Flower, and Thank You.

Each card comes in two styles and a couple of different designs- you can choose whether you want the card to hold a roll of money on the front of the card or be enclosed in a clear plastic slot with a pull tab on the back.

I like to keep a few of these cards on hand for last-minute gifts!

What Type of Paper Should I Use? 

I recommend using 65-80lbs card stock because it's a lighter weight card stock, but heavy enough to be used for these card designs.

After folding the score lines, the next step is to add the flower designs. Start with the layer that has the least amount of detail, then keep layering until you glue on the last layer with the most amount of detail. Instead of glue, you could use small foam adhesive tape squares and it will give the design a more 3-D effect.
