Change the patterned paper for a different look!
You can also choose to make this into a regular card instead of a gift card. Don’t glue the bottom flap, but add another piece of patterned paper!
Paper Cutting Tip
I designed the project to be able to use one piece of 6″x6″ patterned paper to decorate the card and the envelope!
Put the 6”x6” piece in the Paper Trimmer and cut at 2 ¼” for the envelope flap. Rotate and trim down to 5 ¼”. Rotate back to portrait orientation and cut at 1”. Now all of your pieces of DSP are cut!

This is a perfect idea for a few gift cards I need to give out… Could I get a copy of the project sheet somehow? I’ve watched you on YouTube for a bit but only just signed up today for the email list and can’t seem to find a way to print the project sheet for this one. Maybe I’m just too tired and it’s too late at night! 😃
I’m so glad you like it, Leslie! I’ll email it to you!
I really like this idea. I’d like to try to add little goodies to send friends happy mail. I signed up for your newsletter today but I was hoping you could send me the project sheet for this. Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas. Merry Christmas.
Sure thing, Woody! I just emailed it to you!
