Easy Holiday cards made from tags! Free project sheet & video tutorial.

December 16, 2025

I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin boxes each month. November’s Wrapped in Cheer kit featured holiday tags and I couldn’t waste an opportunity to make cards from them. I need a lot more Christmas cards than I do tags!

I didn’t change the tag from the original except for the linen thread bow at the top. But I did add it to a Basic Beige textured layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
Now that is an easy card!

To create the colored leaves inside the card I used the empty piece of paper from the kit where the leaves had been removed. I’m always looking for easy ways to add to the inside of my cards.

There were two different tags in this kit. Aren’t they pretty?

I used the embossing folder called Traditional Wreath 3D folder; it can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
*The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and more information on Paper Pumpkin.

The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

January 22, 2020
This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month. People are loving it!

I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters. We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers.

**Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads? They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.

See the stamp set here. It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

Details:
- Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
- The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
- 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
- two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
- The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!
See all of the FREE Sale-a-Bration choices here.

Honey Bee & Little Ladybug; choice!

January 21, 2020
I received this gorgeous swap card from my friend Diana Gibbs. I just love it!

Sweet and simple; but a big wow in my opinion. The bees are colored with Blends markers in Seaside Spray and Mango Melody plus a little Wink of Stella on the wings.

That pretty Golden Honey Specialty designer paper is one of the FREE choices in our Sale-a-Bration catalog right now.

Get it free with any $50 order through March. But beware that some items do not last through the promotion; they've been known to run out of some items before the promotion ends.

The circles are 1 3/4" and the bees are die-cut using the Detailed Bee Dies. These come in a bundle with the stamp set at 10% off. See them here. It pairs beautifully with the Golden Honey designer paper above.

My friend Judith had a workshop this weekend and she loves the Little Ladybug stamp set so I gave them a choice of two cards. She was so excited to earn this stamp set FREE with her workshop order.

Remember that I'm giving away one set in January! Everyone who places an online order from me will be entered in the drawing.

I used a Light Flirty Flamingo Blends marker and the Wink of Stella and So Saffron ink for the belly. A bit of Petal Pink for the faces and sponging on the circles as well. We added Gold pearls for an accent which pairs nicely with the Golden Honey specialty DSP.

The card stock measures 4" X 5 1/4" white, DSP is 1 7/8" X 5" and the Black is 2" X 5". The circles here are 3/4", 1 1/2" and 1 3/4" in size.

Below you can see how we stamped the inside of the card.

Which one would you choose to make?

Here's the other card we made at my January Flowerbug's Team Meeting featuring the Little Ladybug stamp set:
