Great Impressions Stamps–St Nicholas Gift Card Holder

Hello! Happy Monday!  Can you believe how quickly Christmas is coming?  It is just over 2 weeks away!  I still have soooo much to do!

 

I did get started on some gift card holders.  This one uses Saint Nicholas (E659) from Great Impressions Stamps.  Here is a look at the side I decorated.
