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!

Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

April 18, 2025

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played? We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards. These are mine:

Here are each of them below. The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath. Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

Save

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold.

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

April 17, 2025

Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month. Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.

You can find each of these kits and many more on this link. Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits. It's a lovely break from thinking and planning. But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

Save

My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit. I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day. What a perfect gift!
