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!

Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

February 25, 2021

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper. It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!

Playing with strips has always been fun for me. On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long. Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between. I didn't worry about the edges at all. After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper. I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper. Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set. I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images. For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers. Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.
