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!

A pretty Regal Winter Tent card with free project sheet & video tutorial. So easy!

September 10, 2024

I haven't made a tent card in a long time! It can also be called an easel card too.

Save

This card layout really shows off our pretty designer paper. And it's sooo easy too! As you can see it's basically 3 layers and an embellishment. See the Regal Winter DSP here.

Save

My colors were inspired by the pretty DSP and include Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler & White. That Cherry Cobbler gold edged ribbon is new; it's fine and easy to work with.

The greeting is from the Regal Flora stamp set however the greeting is originally all in one row. I cut it in half and stamped them separately to fit on my die-cut. They're easy to reposition back together like it came.

Here's a view of the inside:

Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video

September 9, 2024

This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video. I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!

Save

Isn't the color combination pretty? It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White. It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors. Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here.

If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors. Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other. I can usually tell if they work well. But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.

Isn't that double die-cut pretty? It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper.

Save

I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker. Love the golden highlights!

How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above. But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper!

Save

As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get. These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock.

Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!

Holiday Catalog Launch Party with lots of new product displays

September 7, 2024

My new Holiday Catalog open house event went wonderfully on Wednesday; it was a big smash with lots of people attending. I was ready with fabulous displays and yummy food. Of course I forgot to take photos of the food but I did remember to grab some of the displays.

First is the Splendid Autumn display:

I also included swaps from the Caring Leaves stamp set in the upper left.

I made samples of some of the die-cuts I have to help showcase how they can be used.

Next is my Regal Winter display:

I shared a few of these cards on last week's Live video which you can here and another one here.

Next is the Nest of Winter suite which is filled with wood grains, birds and nature.

I created a sample for the dies in this suite too. I should have colored them in but I didn't take the time.

Save

I'll share more soon!
