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!

Beautiful Love You Always Foil Specialty paper

February 23, 2021

Last weekend we held our monthly card swap with my Flowerbug's Team. The theme was to use Specialty paper on their card.

The cards I'm sharing today all feature the Love You Always Specialty Foil papers. Did you know we have two kinds? A smooth foil seen here and printed foil seen here.

This first card was created by Karen G. She used both specialty papers with the Always in My Heart bundle. The Floral Heart dies are gorgeous! I love the heart and that banner!!!

This next beauty was created by Candace. She also used both of these pretty specialty papers along with the 'Love You More Than' dies. The embossing folder is the Parisian Flourish 3D seen here.

And lastly, this striking card was made by Mary. She combined the Love You Always paper with the True Love DSP.

She fussy cut the flowers from the True Love DSP and colored them with Blends markers. The Best Wishes is from the Art Gallery bundle.

Aren't my gals talented though!

Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

February 22, 2021

Get inspired by sketches! You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest. Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with.

I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge. I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC. Here's the one we did last week:

Save

And here's the card I came up with.

Save

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March. It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle. The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May. But they're releasing it early in March!

Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.

There are now just 7 days left of Sale-a-Bration!!!

That means you have one week to either purchase the Starter Kit deal (seen below) or get free stamps or paper! Don't wait!

Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!

February 19, 2021

Have you made an origami folded window? They're so easy to do! I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

How does 'Stamp with Me' work? I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces. You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!

Save

You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper. I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner. Draw a line. Do the same once more on the other corners. This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to. Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!

Save

It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square. If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square.

Save

The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle. It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th. If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.
