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.

Textured Notes & Botanical Textures fun fold card with video tutorial

April 14, 2025

I shared this fun fold card on last week's video. We also made it at my Team meeting in March.

Save

The back of the card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the center is an accordion style fold that shows off your designer paper.

I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder on the Azure Afternoon layer – it's on the Last Chance list here.

The stamp set is the Textured Notes and the DSP is the Botanical Textures. If you follow me you'll realize I cannot get enough of both of these products!

Here's the view with the card opened:

New Catalog sneak peak inspired by a fun sketch

April 10, 2025

Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of new products from the upcoming 2025 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!

Save

I chose the Florals in Bloom designer paper and the Impressions Abloom stamp set plus new gems too! My colors include Petunia Pop and Secret Sea plus white.

This layout was inspired by the following sketch. I absolutely love using sketches for my inspiration. I knew I wanted to feature the DSP but wasn't sure of my plan. This sketch fit the bill perfectly!

I made another pretty card that's totally different with this same sketch. See it here.

Save

As you can see I did not follow it exactly. My DSP measures 2 3/4" X 4" and 2 1/4" X 3". The diagonal layer (secret sea) is 1 1/8" wide.

The stamped greetings are from the 'The Right Words' stamp set. One of my new favorite greeting sets. You're going to love it!

Save

I'll share another card featuring new products tomorrow.
