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 shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs.

Save

Isn't it adorable? My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive. The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.

Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.

You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.

Check out the inside:

I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow. 'Milk it for all it's worth!'

Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!

February 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them. If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.

The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

Save

She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here. Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set.

Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
- Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"
~~~

Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla.

The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens. Quite unique and actually easy to make too.

Measurements:
- Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"

Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products. We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

Save

The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here. She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts. See it here.

Measurements:
- Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.
- Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
- Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
- DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1"
Save

It's quite the special card isn't it? It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style.

I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week. My Flowerbug's are the best!

February 22, 2024
We had sooo many fabulous fancy fold cards at our February Team swap! I've been sharing a few each day this past week. Please look back to see them all; I'm sharing measurements for each one!

Jacki made this stunning Pinwheel Tower card featuring the Nature's Sweetness Suite:

Her colors include White, Pebbled Path and bit of Gold foil & Vellum. She also added gold pearls and Gold Elegant Trim. The texture is made with the Exposed Brick embossing folder. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments bundle.

See the Nature's Sweetness suite here; it's huge & filled with beautiful stamps, textures & die-cuts.

Save

The picture doesn't do it justice; it's simply stunning! If you haven't made one and want to know how check out this video I shared a while back.

Measurements:
- Center box is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"; scored at 1/4", 1", 1 3/4", 2 1/2"
- 4 pieces at 2" tall X 4 1/4"
- Designer paper layers are 1 1/8" & 1 7/8" – 2 each of 2 patterns
Save

Next is another incredible card made by Jonna who chose the Gone Fishing bundle seen here.

Save

She paired it with the Let's Go Fishing designer paper & Twisted Rope 3D embossing folder. This is an entire suite in the Annual catalog and could retired in April. See it all here.

When you open up her card it's a gift card. What a great men's card idea!

Save

Measurements:
- Navy card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", folded layer is 4 1/2" X 9 3/4" scored at 3 1/4" & 6 1/2"
- Designer paper – striped on front is cut with the Deckled Rectangles – finished size is 5 1/8" X 3 3/4", inside gift card is 4 1/4" X 2 1/4"

~~~

Oh; this one is so beautiful! Tracey made this one with the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper.

Save

This fold is my absolute favorite way to show off our scenic papers! the card base has one extra score line and you cut your paper into pieces from left to right so when the card opens it's a full scene!

I LOVE her heat embossed greeting; it's fussy cut into multiple pieces and added with mini dimensionals; what a fabulous effect! The texture on the front left panel is the Exposed Brick 3D emboss folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", second textured layer is 1" X 5 1/4"
- Designer paper is 6" X 5 1/4" tall. Cut from left to right at 2 3/4" & 4"
Save

This pretty paper was available online but is sadly gone now. *Our Online Exclusives are available while supplies last.

I shared how to make this card on a video a few months back. See it here.

*Stop back in for more fancy fold swaps tomorrow!
