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!

Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

May 23, 2025

I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK.

She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder. What a fun card! The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below.

This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

Save

This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip. The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.

Save

The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes! At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.

Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

May 22, 2025

Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.

Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front. Note his sunglasses & shoes! They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

Save

Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn. Love this so much!

Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies. So cute! See it here:

I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.

This first one is made by Marcia Besecker. She added so much detail to her card!

Save

Lots of texture and fun details on this one!

Next is an adorable swap card made by Amy Storie. I love her choice of colors and the fun accents she added to her card.
