For adorable Easter giving hop to it and make these charming Bunny Gift Card holders. All you need is your Cricut, a letter-size piece of cute paper, a scrap of pink paper, and about 10 minutes.

Gift Cards are the Perfect Gift

Unfortunately, my teenagers have outgrown the traditional Easter basket filled with stuffed animals and candy. All they care about is new kicks and hanging with their friends at fast food joints. So gift cards are the perfect solution. I get to give a cute Easter gift, and they get to enjoy the joys of being a teen. Plus, I have several hardworking teachers and friends who could use a boost right now. I’m sure they’ll appreciate a cute smiling bunny that hides a little morale booster.

Materials Needed

• Echo Park Dots and Stripes Gingham collection double-sided card stock. 
• Cricut Maker
• Fine point felt tip 
• Glue
• Hot glue gun w/glue
• Black acrylic paint and artist’s paintbrush with a narrow end (optional)
• Ribbon to match/complement your paper choice

Gift Card Project Instructions

Open the Cricut Design Space file to create your own Easter Bunny Gift Card Holders. The sizes listed below are just estimates, they don’t have to be exact.  You can use the instructions below to customize your gift cardholders.  

1. Find Cricut file #M3BFA5 (the gift card holder) and size to about 9” by 3”. You can actually get 3 gift card holders out of a sheet of 12×12 or 2 out of a regular 8.5×11.

2. Next use the shapes feature to create two 2.3” by 1.1” ovals for the outer ears. Color these the same as the gift card holder so they are cut from the same paper.

3. Again use the shape tool to create two 1.5” by 0.75” ovals for the inner ears. You can cut these from either white or pink paper.

4. After cutting your paper shapes, assemble the bunny ears and glue them to the back of the top flap.

5. Form the nose by making a 1.25” by 0.75” oval which will be cut out of pink.  Add the nose to the front. Use a fine-tip felt tip pen to add the smile and whiskers. I used the end of a paintbrush dipped in black acrylic paint to make the eyes, but you can also draw them on with the felt tip marker. Add a ribbon bow if desired.

6. Glue an Easter Greeting to the inside of the gift cardholder.  I used the Cricut pen to create mine.

7. Finally, add a gift card to the inside tabs for a special Easter treat and surprise.
