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 Plaid card featuring the Grow with Love bundle

April 30, 2025

I shared this pretty card on a recent video. I made it for our Team swap which had a plaid theme.

Save

It features the Grow with Love bundle seen here. My colors include Basic Beige, Old Olive and Lost Lagoon – taken from the pretty Timeless Plaid layer.

The basil and stamped frame are all done with the Grow with Love dies. The greeting is from the Mixed Label dies. I did sponge the edges and the leaves with Lost Lagoon ink. The herb images in this set are so pretty and have Stampin' Up!'s distinktive style which shows off multiple hues with one inking. The coordinating dies cut off the herb names; a great option if you do not want to include them.

Save

The pretty embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here. I'm so sad it's retiring! This textured piece is made from our 2-toned Olive 12 X 12" card stock. When embossing this white core paper the texture reveals the white core just enough to enhance the texture. I could have sanded it to reveal even more texture but I did not.

Another sweet card with Wildflower Birthday & Labeled with Love

April 29, 2025
Here's one more card featuring the beautiful Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP.

Save

I changed up just a few things from the card I shared yesterday to make a totally new fun fold card. Here I used Soft Sea Foam as my card base with Pretty in Pink and Blueberry Bushel accents.

I used the Labeled with Love stamp set & coordinating punch. Unfortunately this stamp set just sold out; it was on the Last Chance/retired list.

Here's what it looks like opened.

Save

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- Blueberry Bushel 3 1/4" X 2 5/8"
- White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- DSP – left panel 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", cakes panel 3" X 2 3/8"
And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.
