An easy Gift Card idea for Christmas with free project sheet

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.

• Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

  December 10, 2021

  I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

  It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time.

  This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

  Details:

  • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
  • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
  • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

  This card opens up like this:

  There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

• Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

  December 9, 2021

  Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card!

  Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

  I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

  I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

  I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included.

• Need Gift card ideas? I have three!

  December 9, 2021

  Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live.  You can see it here.

  I'm sharing the first one today: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle. 

  It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4".  Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here. 

  Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make!  Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options.  I'll share details on another tomorrow.
