Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

December 9, 2021

Here's another gift card idea for you. It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card!

Here's the front view: I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday. I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

Save

I kept the front very simple as you can see. The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper! It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

Save

I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out. Measurements are included.

Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:

Card base 4 1/4" X 11"

Stack, cut & shuffle card with Gathering Together DSP – free project sheet too!

September 9, 2025

Here’s another beautiful autumn themed card I shared on last week’s Live video.

Save

Have you ever made a triple stack, cut & shuffle card? It’s a great way to make multiples of a card layout and use your designer paper. Simply cut three different patterns of designer paper at 3 3/4″ X 5″. Stack them together and cut all at the same time. This way they’ll all fit together well once you shuffle them into 3 piles. What’s neat is that you don’t really have to measure your cuts! Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

The designer paper here is the new Gathering Together seen here. It’s gorgeous with Champagne foil accents. This paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these just released new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

My colors include Early Espresso, Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze. The greeting and stamped die-cuts are from the Gathering Moments bundle seen here. The greeting die-cuts are from the Traditional Labels dies seen here. They’re my new favorite set of label dies!
