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.

I played with the new Botanical Layers bundle for last week's Facebook Live. This unique bundle includes a stamp set and a pack of 60 sheets of printed & plain vellum and can be seen here.

Here's my favorite project:

I sponged colors of Bermuda Bay, Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide onto one side of the vellum before adhering it to a layer of White CS. I added a die-cut from the Tropical Layer dies seen here (50% off right now!) and a greeting die-cut.

More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video

May 29, 2022

Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video. The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.

When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.

Save

I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum. This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.

Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink. It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.

Save

For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum. I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.

Save

I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here. A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

May 27, 2022

We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

Save

The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.

I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it. See it here or scroll down to watch it below.

That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here. I love these dies!!

Save

As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.

See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).

Measurements:
• Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
• Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign
