  1. This pocket card is very simple…but will be perfect for giving gift cards! I’m headed to my craft room to make a few…thanks for such a practical easy paper activity. ( I will reference you when I teach my “church girls” class next week…it’s time to make some valentines but this will be a perfect “craft” idea that they can easily complete!) Just Joni
