❄️ Last Minute Holiday Magic – Day #6
If you’re racing the holiday clock but still want to wow your loved ones with handmade charm, today’s project is your perfect match. Say hello to sleek, stylish, and oh-so-jolly—it’s the Modern Christmas Suite with a Gift Card surprise!
This card is a celebration of contrast and sparkle. With its geometric black-and-white background, bold star focal point, and layered textures, it’s a showstopper that feels both contemporary and warm. The gold-striped star adds just the right amount of holiday shimmer, while the “BE jolly” sentiment keeps the mood playful and bright.

- Stamp sentiment below negative space as shown.
- Slide a gift card into the negative space from punch and position it to fit inside of a card.
- While holding onto the gift card and panel, flip panel over to back side. Add Tear & Tape around gift card on three sides , as shown below (so the gift card won’t slide around).
- Remove gift card and Tear & Tape backing. Then adhere panel with additional Seal Adhesive to inside of folded card.
- Slide gift card into the negative space.
