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!

Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

April 22, 2021
I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in. I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set.

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black.

Can you spy all of the new products I used? There are 5 if you count everything.

Save
1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle.
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off). I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper! It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack. Look at the gorgeous ribbon! It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors.

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting. It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes. I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!

Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

April 21, 2021

I have a few special cards to share today. They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't. At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them. Scroll down to see it or click here.

This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.

Save

It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies. The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP. I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

I posted the measurements in the photo for you. I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots.

Save

This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card. I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle! Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!

Save

This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder. It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed. Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.

Save

This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go! But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love.

Here's the video; I hope you watch it!

Circle Celebration; so fun!

April 20, 2021

I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap. I love seeing their style and what my gals make.

Save

She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS. Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card.

I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red.

Such a fun and happy card. Great job Chanda!

I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!
