🎄✨ Modern Christmas Treat Box & Gift Card Holder

 Hi Friends!

Today’s project is a stylish and elegant treat box created with the Modern Christmas Suite. This little beauty is perfect for holiday gifting — it’s a great size for sweet treats, mini goodies, or even a gift card tucked inside.

I’ll walk you through the full assembly during the video tutorial, showing you how to combine the bold black-and-gold palette with the festive tree die and the stitched label shapes to create a polished, high-end look.

It’s a quick project, but it packs a big “wow” factor — ideal for neighbours, coworkers, stocking stuffers, or table gifts during the holidays.

The box measurements are: 9-1/8 x 5-5/8 score at 1-1/8, 4, 5-1/8, 8 turn and score at 1-1/8 and 4-1/2

I received this box from my friend Leanne Livingstone, one of my roomies in Las Vegas at the recent Stampin' Up! Leader's conference. Isn't it awesome!

Triple Pocket Fun Fold Gift Card Holder with the Traditional Labels Bundle

Hi Friends!

One of last week's demonstration featured the Traditional Labels bundle and the Christmas Greenery dies in a beautiful Triple Pocket fun fold gift card holder. I used the Elegant Pines Snowflakes Designer Paper for a soft, elegant look that’s perfect for the holidays.

This fun fold design was inspired by my Silver Sister, Tamara Bertram, from Tamara’s Paper Trail, during our recent Super Team Event in September. It’s such a clever project with three pockets — perfect for tucking in a gift card, a tag, or a little message.

During the live, I shared how to assemble the pockets, decorate with layered labels, and add festive accents for a polished finish. You can watch the full video tutorial below for all the steps, measurements, and supply details.

I had so much fun designing this card, and I think you’re going to love how easy it is to create. The Notes & Totes bundle is packed with adorable stamped images and coordinating dies that make everything look polished and professional, without adding too much extra effort. Paired with the bold, celebratory patterns in the designer paper, the finished project is sure to make someone smile.

The best part? This fun fold design is simple enough for beginners but interesting enough to impress your card-making friends. It folds up neatly to hold a standard-sized gift card, with plenty of space for you to write your message or tuck in a little note.

Sip, Savor, and Celebrate: A Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

Hi Friends!

What’s better than a warm, whipped-cream-topped drink on a chilly winter day? A gift card for one, tucked inside an adorable handmade holder! 

This festive fun fold card is packed with Christmas cheer, featuring cozy images of hot drinks with swirling dollops of whipped cream. Using the More Than Autumn stamp set and dies (yes, they’re versatile!) and the playful Take A Bow designer paper, this project serves up equal parts charm and practicality.

 

This gift card holder is like your favorite holiday latte—comforting, stylish, and oh-so-satisfying. The fun fold design gives it an extra dash of whimsy, making the card just as much a treat as the gift inside. The steaming mugs of hot chocolate and coffee take center stage, accented with bold patterns from the Take A Bow designer paper.

The interactive fold adds a sprinkle of surprise, and every panel is a visual delight, like a mini gallery of festive cheer. Whether it’s peppermint mocha vibes or classic hot cocoa, this card is guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

This fun fold gift card holder isn’t just a card; it’s a warm holiday hug in paper form. The More Than Autumn set proves it’s not just for autumn, and the Take A Bow paper ties it all together beautifully. Whether you’re gifting coffee shop cards or homemade hot cocoa kits, this design is the perfect finishing touch. 

If this gift card holder has you dreaming of whipped cream and holiday magic, you’re in luck! Want to see exactly how it’s made? Grab your favorite cozy drink, settle in, and check out the video below. I’ll walk you through all the steps—fun folds, festive vibes, and all!

Cherish The Season Gift Card Holder

 Hi Friends!

Last Thursday during my Thursday Morning Drop In Stamping on my facebook page, we created this beautiful gift card holder using the Cherish The Season Bundle.

I learned how to make this quick and easy gift card holder from my friend Allison Okamitsu.  I decided to do some foil inlay and different colours to make it my own.

This is the original gift card holder ....

 

Then I created this one with a bit of foil inlay ....

 

 

This is the one where I used 4 different colours of foil and changed the cardstock and designer paper colours. I also added a few more pieces of the Classic Christmas designer paper. 

In the video I show you a real quick and easy way to do the foil inlay without a lot of fuss and muss.

A complete list of supplies can be found under my signature at the bottom of this post.

I would appreciate it if you would subscribe to my YouTube channel and watch all my videos.  Thank you.
