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!

New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

December 22, 2021

Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here. I think it's super neat!

Save

I explain how it's done in the video here. Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it. Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

Save

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog. It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.

After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center. Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

Save

The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.

Below is the video with this project & lots more!

Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video

December 21, 2021
I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared. Follow me on Facebook here.

I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors. This first card is in Fresh Freesia.

Save

I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.

The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS. The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice.

Save

Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower.

Here's a photo of all 3 of them together. Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty!

Save

And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color. The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
- White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4"

A Stunning Christmas to Remember card

December 20, 2021

The picture does not do this card justice! It's stunning in person!

Save

I received it from Bobby, one of my Flowerbug team members. It's elegant in the all White & Gold colors. She added two main layers of the large pine dies; one in white & another in Gold under it offset a bit. Then a few layered pinecones too.

It's made with the Christmas to Remember bundle with White, Gold Foil paper, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots, Gold heat embossing & Gold shimmer ribbon. You can see this bundle here.

Save

The dies are called Christmas Pine Cone dies and can be seen here.
