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!

Pretty Pumpkin projects in out of the box colors with Video too!

October 8, 2021

On Tuesday's FB Live I featured the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in out of the box colors. I was inspired by the white pumpkins that are trendy now and by a card made by Deb Crowley.

Save

Isn't it gorgeous? The colors are Pool Party, Olive & Smoky Slate. I stamped the pumpkins in Smoky Slate onto White Basic card stock and colored them in with our Watercolor Pencils seen here. A Blender pen is the magic tool when using watercolor pencils! Watch the video below to see how.

Save

I stamped the greeting directly onto the die-cut stitched rectangle using Smoky Slate ink. It's cut from In Good Taste designer paper. I used a blending brush to add a bit of Coastal Cabana ink behind the die-cut pumpkins.

Save

Next is another pretty card in Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Rose Gold. This pretty specialty paper is in our Annual Catalog on page 134 seen here. It's also my free gift for orders in October! *see details below

Save

These pumpkin and leaf die-cuts are in the Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here. *Save 10% when you purchase the bundle – stamp set & dies. I did fussy cut the greeting after stamping it. The embossing folder is called Brick Wall.

Look at this pretty & quick treats box. It's one of our 3 1/8" square Acetate boxes seen in the annual catalog here. You get 10 boxes for $6. Inside can hold either treats or 3 X 3 cards & envelopes.

Save

I added a 2" X 9" belly band of Coastal Cabana card stock, a few pumpkin die-cuts, a wrap of Gold 3/8" shimmer ribbon and a fussy cut greeting.

Save

Did you know we carry 3" square envelopes in the Annual Catalog? Check out page 136. They're perfect for little note cards and they fit in this box too!

You might wonder where you get 3 X 3" cards…. I made them from a piece of 12 X 12" card stock. It's the best size CS to start with. You'll get 8 small cards from one sheet with no waste! Watch my tip on this in the video below.

Save

I think these cards would be great at each place setting on the Thanksgiving table! Think white pumpkins, autumn colored leaves & turquoise ribbon or accents. Mmm – I think I have a plan!
