An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

December 1, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s video. It has an option for a gift card hidden inside.

Isn’t it pretty? I featured the Modern Christmas suite here with the specialty DSP and the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here.

I just love the font on the greetings and the unique coordinating dies in this bundle.
My colors are classy in Black, White and Gold foil. You might notice two different embossing folders on the White layer. One is the Traditional Wreath 3D and the other is the Forever Plaid 3D.

There is a scored line on the front layer to create a pocket for a gift card inside. I used a punch to create a bit of interest on it.

What do you think of this color combination for Christmas? I worried some might not like it but everyone at my Clubs loved this card. The Modern Christmas designer paper seen here is gorgeous with it’s fun patterns.

I did heat emboss the greeting with Gold embossing powder and punched it out with the Labeled with Love punch. The bits of Gold foil all over this card really make it special!

I created a free project sheet for this card and also a video with tips & step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

You can watch the video below to see how to assemble this card. There are also two more projects you’ll want to see!

More fun fold cards with One Horse Open Sleigh!

September 13, 2023
Here are the other two cards I shared in last week's Live video. If you're not following me on Facebook to catch the live videos click here to join my FB page!

Not on Facebook, follow me on YouTube here.

This first card is a Spanner fun fold card; featuring the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper seen here. It's only seen in our Online Exclusives.

Save

My colors are Gray Granite with Early Espresso ink. The die-cut trees are from the Horse & Sleigh dies seen here. I added some color to the base of the trees with brown & Gray Granite Blends. My greetings are from the Lasting Joy and Layering Leaves sets.

Here's the view once the upper panel is lifted. I stamped a tree from the Horse & Sleigh bundle on the inside.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”. Cut up to the 4 ¼” score line at 1 ¼” from each outer edge.
- Greeting strip 5 ½” X 1”
Next is a double flap card in blues – Misty Moonlight & Boho Blue. These colors pair beautifully together.

Save

This card is a wonderful fun fold layout for 6" papers. You can make two cards with one piece. Or make 8 cards with a 12" designer paper! The stamps are from One Horse Open Sleigh and Lasting Joy.

The side flap is scored and the score line is placed right at the left card edge. I cover that up with the inside white panel.

Measurements:
- DSP – 1 piece per card 3” X 5 ¼”
- Card base 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
- Center flap 3 ¼” X 11” score at 5 ½”, Side flap 5” X 1” score at ¾”
- White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
Both of these cards are included in my One Horse Open Sleigh fun fold cards PDF tutorial seen here. My tutorials can be used for more than this designer paper!
