You may be able to fund your wallet through PayPal, depending on where you live. You would need to first add the gift card to your PayPal balance though.

— Are you sure you do not have a prepaid credit card? —

I do not believe you can use the PayPal card directly on Steam, you would need to have a PayPal account to redeem the gift card.

I can't even find any information about PayPal cards. However I do not believe you can use a PayPal gift card on Steam, no. The card says "PayPal" on the front? Does it say anything else?

Then I'm afraid you would need to redeem it on PayPal.
