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!

Daisy Garden stamp for easy cards!

July 14, 2021

I had time to play with this pretty Daisy Garden background stamp and created this summery card:

Save

I stamped the image in Polished Pink ink onto a panel of 3 3/4" X 5 1/4" White card stock. I colored it in with blends markers in Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green. I did add a bit of yellow to the daisy centers with a sponge dauber. I colored the White ribbon with the light Polished Pink Blends marker before tying a bow.

Next I cut the White CS into three panels measuring 1 1/4" wide before I adhered them to the main card.

The 'thanks' greeting is from the Artistically Inked stamp set. It's stamped onto one of the die-cuts in the Picture This die set seen here. I love that you get multiple quick 'stitched' die-cuts from just one cut. They're great for windows or greeting dies and with just one cut and you can use the window of the die-cuts!
