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!

January Hearts for You alternative card idea

January 31, 2025

Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit.

Save

Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red. It's fun to experiment a bit!

Save

Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit. They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products. It is really fun to change things up at times.

Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else! And they're usually only $12. Wow! See this one here

A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions

January 30, 2025

Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap. I love her colors and layout so much!

Save

Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination.

She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up! See this gorgeous paper here.

It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?

Save

The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.

The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2". Both front flaps are textured.

Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch. I love, love this punch so much! *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can!

Save

There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too. It's called Bright Borders.

Make the most of your card stock & DSP with this Timeless Plaid fun fold card

January 29, 2025

Today I'm sharing one more easy fun fold card featuring the Timeless Plaid 6" Designer Series Paper.

Save

I love this card layout because it makes great use of both your card stock and designer paper. My colors include Basic Beige with Pretty Peacock. The greeting and stitched edge die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.

Save

The card base is 11" X 4 1/4"; scored at 5 1/2". Trim off one end at 3 1/4" and cut it into a square. Next add a 3" square of DSP to that. You'll add that as the layer over the left side of the card (after adding a 2" X 4" piece of DSP). So simple!

I shared 3 fun fold cards on last week's video. If you like fun fold cards I hope you'll access the free project sheets for them all here.
