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!

This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!

June 19, 2023

This easy fun fold is so smart! It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.

Save

How? Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2". Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark. This piece is then flipped and is the front panel. So smart!

Save

The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes!

Save

The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout. This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have! You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

Save

The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one. And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP.

Save

I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.

I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting. The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here.

Save

Here's the link to see my recent video featuring this card. I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

June 16, 2023

We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club. It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.

Save

I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry. This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!

Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center. Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other.

Save

It's fun to play with too. We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base. Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

Save

See the stamp set here and the Brewed dies here.

Save

The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry. Measurements and video can be seen below.

Measurements:
• Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
• Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
• Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square
• White inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for beer & foam

Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

June 15, 2023

Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects. They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.

Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party. I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

Save

She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

Save

The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

Save

This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs. It fits in there so perfectly!

I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

Save

And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

Save

She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

Save

It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

Save

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:
