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!

The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

February 8, 2022
I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

Save

You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

Save

Please watch the video to see how to do this. Here are some tips:
- I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
- Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
- If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink.
- I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.
- You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.

The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

Save

Here's the video! Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.
