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.

More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

March 20, 2025

I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible!

Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper. This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers!

First up is Karen's card which is just her style:

Save

She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread. Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.

Next is a stunning card made by Paula. She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.

Save

Just gorgeous Paula!!

And look at the incredible card Jacki made!

Save

She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder. Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look.

Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

Save

She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils. Beautifully done!

I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

March 19, 2025

This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March. Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper!

First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.

Save

She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp. This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured. Gorgeous!

Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

Save

She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals. Well done!

Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card:

Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here. Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple! Good job Kim!

Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.

Save

Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue. She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over.

Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring. Love that tail!

More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

Corner DSP pop up fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

March 18, 2025

I shared this card on last week's video and am happy to share it with you here today. I also have a free project sheet below too.

It features the Lovely Garden designer paper seen online here.

Save

My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies.

I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.

Save

The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here. I love these! I bet they'll sell fast!

Save

I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

Save

Here's the template for the DSP part of this card. My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me.

Save

In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides. Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines. Watch the video below to understand this.
