This gift-wrapped Christmas present is one that won’t break the bank! I love how quickly this card came together—and how a little patterned paper and a pretty bow make it feel festive.

The Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper looks like wrapping paper, and those little cardstock scraps make the perfect “ribbon.” Such a fun way to put a few leftover pieces to good use!

The Gift Wrapped stamp set and coordinating bow punch make a lovely finishing touch. A few tiny snowflakes in the background bring it all together without needing lots of stamping.

If you’re just getting started on your Christmas cards, this is a cheerful design to keep in mind. Simple cards can still feel special, especially when there’s a handwritten message inside.

I can also picture this idea as a birthday card with different paper and colors. Who wouldn’t enjoy a little paper present in their mailbox?
