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!

Corners in Bloom fun fold card

January 16, 2025

I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set.

Save

I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.

I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

Save

This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order. There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th.

Save

We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two! I love the many options you have with these line art stamps.

Save

My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.
