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!

Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!

September 17, 2021

I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here! I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today.

Save

I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party! The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.

Save

The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die.

Save

Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper. As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately. They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over.

Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out!

Save

I used Blends markers to color my flowers. You can see this in the video below. The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right.

Which is your favorite?

The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!

September 16, 2021

I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough.

Save

I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders. The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die. See the pink & black gingham ribbon? It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!

Save

I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique. I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP. It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog.

The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody.

Save

Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season

September 15, 2021

Last month my local gals made these cards at class. It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template. I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images! It's one of my favorite things to create.

Save

I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog.

I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set. On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece!

Save
