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.

• Cute Pick a Season & Spring Corners card

  February 3, 2025

  ---

  We made these adorable cards at my Clubs in January.  The new Pick a Season Sale-a-Bration set is super fun!  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  You can add multiple items in the tree branches like hearts, flowers, eggs (Easter) or 4-leaf clovers.  Or use any other stamps you may have to customize your tree. The Pick a Season set is free with any $60 order through the end of February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  My colors are Melon Mambo with Granny Apple Green and a bit of Pecan Pie on the tree trunk. 

  I paired it with the Spring Corners stamp set seen here.  It is available in a bundle as well.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I love the multiple corner images and the sweet greetings in this set!

• January Hearts for You alternative card idea

  January 31, 2025

  ---

  Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

• A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions

  January 30, 2025

  ---

  Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap.  I love her colors and layout so much! 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination. 

  She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up!  See this gorgeous paper here. 

  It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.  

  The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2".  Both front flaps are textured.  

  Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch.  I love, love this punch so much!  *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can! 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too.  It's called Bright Borders.
