Hey there crafters, I have a cute fall tutorial for you today! Enjoy these fall pumpkin gift card holders for Halloween parties, fall birthdays, or teachers gifts.  You can make this with your cutting machine using the free SVG file and colored cardstock. This download comes with 2 pumpkin designs, a Jack o’lantern and a regular pumpkin design.  You can add customization to the backs of these gift card holders which are flat.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the Jack o’lantern using a Cricut Explore Air 2. You can make this with any cutting machine that cuts cardstock.

Supplies:

• Cricut Explore Air 2
• Pumpkin Gift Card Holders Free SVG
• 8.5×11 Cardstock (pink, gold, black)
• Tape Runner

 

After you download my Free SVG file, find it in your downloads folder, right-click on the and click Extract all and save to the same location.  Now you will have a open folder to work with. Open up Design Space, start a new project and click upload. Browse your files and select the SVG file type.  If you are on a Windows PC, the SVG file might display as a internet html doc.

 

Add the SVG to your canvas. Double check the size to make sure it uploaded correctly. The size is 11inch width for the overall SVG. You can ungroup to select each layer and change the color if desired. Other than that this SVG is ready to click make it.

 

Next you can change your Material Size to 8.5×11 (Letter). This will move your pieces to fit your paper on the mat. Then click continue and cut on CARDSTOCK +.

 

Here are all the pieces once they are all cut out.

 

The top of the pumpkin is the base to holder your gift card. Layer on the top pumpkin piece using your tape runner. Make sure you have the layers face the right way. Since I draw these by hand, they are not symmetrical.  I highly recommend using a double sided tape runner when working with cardstock.  It keeps your cardstock from warping or bubbling up as it would with craft glue.

 

Next, place tape on the back of the jack o’lantern’s face and layer on top of the black layer.

 

After the face is on, flip over to the back and apply your tape runner to only the bottom and sides of the pumpkin.

 

Place it over the top of the full pumpkin backing and press down firmly along the edges.

 

Place your gift card into the slots of the pumpkin top and insert it into the bottom of the pumpkin. The finished pumpkin holder is 5.5 in x 5.62 in.

 

I hope you enjoy these pumpkin gift card holders! They are great for the fall season and to give your gift a wow factor!
