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!

I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!

I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper. I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies.

The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog.

This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies. The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.

I love the double flap of this fancy fold! Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards. I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!

Unique Silver & Gold Designer Paper technique ideas with video!

August 4, 2022

I played with the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper on this week's FB Live and this is one of my favorite projects:

My goal was to share different ways to add color to this pretty metallic themed paper. for this card I used our Water Brushes and our 2022-24 In Color ink. I filled the water brush with water, using the largest brush, added a wash of four of the five colors.

This card layout is one referred to as the Stack & Cut technique. You start out with at least 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut using the template below. It's so easy and is a fabulous way to showcase your designer paper.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set – a free choice from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. This stamp set is free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order. See all of the Sale-a-Bration free choices here.
