Holiday Embossed Gift Bag and Card Set

Card Making· Christmas· Paper Crafts· Winter

I love the simple elegance that a simple embossing folder adds to my holiday projects. Today I am going to show you how versatile embossing folders are- in some simple gift-giving ideas. Follow along for this simple DIY card set idea.

I used the same two embossing folders for this gift set.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY card set:

  • Small Kraft Paper Bags
  • Paper Kraft Bags
  • Kraft Paper Cards and Envelopes: A2
  • Silver Foil Cardstock
  • Metallic Silver Tissue Paper
  • Holiday Words Embossing Folders (Happy Holidays)
  • Holly Vines Embossing Folder
  • Lime Green Sandable Cardstock
  • Photo Corners
  • Core’dinations Sand It Gadget with Sandpaper
  • Ruby Red Dimensional Pearl Paint

Trim your green cardstock to fit your Holly embossing folder. Measurements will be 4.25 x 5.75″. (Incidentally, this is also the exact size of an A2 card base.)

You will need three (3) cardstock pieces for this gift bag/card combination.

Insert the cut green Core’dinations cardstock into the embossing folder. Make sure the paper is right side up, and the manufacturer name is on the top. Following the manufacturer instructions for your embossing machine, run the embossing folder through your machine.

Remove the cardstock from the folder and gently sand the embossed design.

Sanding will reveal the lighter core of the cardstock, and really make the embossed design pop!

Trim and emboss two (2) 2 x 6″ word strips using silver cardstock.

Do not sand the silver strips.

Add liquid pearls to the “berries” on the green Holly embossed cardstock pieces.

Set aside, and allow the liquid pearls to fully dry.

Adhere one of the three cardstock pieces to a kraft A2 card base.

Trim and adhere one of the silver word strips to the front of the card.

Adhere the remaining two Holly embossed pieces to the front of a kraft 8 x 10″gift bag. There will be a gap in the middle of the piece.

Trim and adhere the second silver word strip to the gift bag, covering the gap.

Add decorative silver photo corners if desired.

Don’t forget to emboss the matching kraft envelope. You can also use embossing folders to spruce up small gift bags. Small kraft bags are a quick way to wrap gift cards or cash.

You can see just how versatile embossing folders can be. Especially with the holidays approaching. It is a unique way to present your gifts, and show your creativity!

I hope you are inspired to pick up a few embossing folders, and get a jump on your gift bag and card stash!
