From your Pretty Peacock card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”. Take the Elegant Pines designer series paper pack and find the frosty Pretty Peacock piece and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.

In Pretty Peacock ink with the “warmest winter wishes” greeting from the Delicate Pines stamp set stamp the greeting in the upper portion of the white banner. Then stamp a few snowflakes around and put some of the clear small size Faceted Snowflake embellishments in the center of the snowflakes.

On a spare piece of white cards stock stamp the large pine snowflake stamp, the medium snowflake stamp and the single small pine snowflake stamp in Pretty Peacock ink. Use the matching dies to cut each of them out. Use mini pop dots to layer your cut out snowflakes and place a large clear Faceted Snowflake embellishment in the center.

Adhere the larger white piece you cut to the front of your card base and then the frosty Pretty Peacock piece to the white piece. Then adhere the banner to the upper right corner aligning along the frosty Pretty Peacock paper. Now adhere the snowflake in the lower left corner over the lower left portion of your banner.

With your Peaceful Garden designer series paper, find the leaf paper and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” and cut 1” off of the bottom to give you a strip for the inside as well.

Take one of your white pieces and adhere to one of the Secret Sea pieces and then adhere that to the front of your card base. Now adhere the large leaf paper onto the white piece on the front of your card toward the top, and then the Cloud Cover strip to the bottom.

Cozy Christmas Tags

November 16, 2025 No Comments

These cute tags were made with the October 2025 Stampin’ Up Paper Pumkin kit supplies. They were supposed to be made into cards, but they looked more like tags to me so I changed them into a variety of tags.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Cozy Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit (October 2025 Stampin’ Up)
Cozy Christmas stamp set (October 2025 Stampin’ Up)
Real Red ink (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Everything I used for these tags came in the kit. I used some of the card bases and cut them up for the tag backgrounds. I did use a variety of tag dies as well. There was a great To :stamp and From: stamp in the Cozy Christmas stamps to use for the gats as well. An easy way to get a bunch of tags, I think I got 10 tags out of the kit instead of 9 cards.
