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

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.

• Make a bunch of these cards with the Mixed Media Florals suite

  February 18, 2025

  I love this card layout!  You can use both sides of your DSP with this easy design.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I used the Mixed Media Floral suite on this card:

  • the pretty Mixed Media Florals DSP seen here
  • the Mixed Labels bundle seen here
  • the Low-profile dots seen here
  • Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Petal Pink & Mossy Meadow card stock 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I don't have a free project sheet for this card as it's one featured in my free PDF this month (with any online order).  But here are the basic measurements:

  • Coral layer – 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  • DSP 3" square & 1 1/8" X 3" strip

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and two other layouts using this pretty designer paper.

• Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  February 17, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual.  I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line.  You can see it here.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky. 

  The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

  You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.

• Mixed Media Floral fun fold card kit to go (or choose the PDF tutorial option)

  February 13, 2025

  ---

  Here is the other card kit to go & tutorial for February.  It features the Mixed Media Floral designer paper seen here from our Online Exclusives.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  These eye catching cards are all fancy folds. You'll make 2 each of the 5 card designs. Who doesn't love adding a few new fold ideas?  The great thing is you'll have samples in hand to case later. 

  The kit includes these Stampin' Up! products – a share of each – Mixed Media Floral DSP, the Low-Profile gems, scalloped Petal Pink ribbon and the Greetings for All Ephemera pack.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  No stamping is needed with this awesome Ephemera pack. They're all printed in Black & White and ready to add to your projects. You can sponge the edge, use markers to color or leave them as is.  They're a wonderful deal – 2 of each sheet for $7. 

  The pre-cut kit includes all card bases, layers and punched or die-cut pieces.  You will need a paper trimmer for your new DSP. 

  To reserve a pre-cut kit to go for $31 click here.  To purchase the PDF tutorial for $16 click here. 

  The PDF tutorial will be emailed to your immediately after payment.  Please check your junk mail!  The kit with product will be shipped to you at the end of February, barring any product shortages. 

  *Supplies needed: a paper trimmer (for your new DSP), greeting images, ink & adhesives.  

  Remember I have other kits as well; check them all out here and save on shipping.
