Today’s project is a group of simple gift tags. It uses my favorite tags dies the Celebrations Tags Die set. I went with the rustic look for these.
Tag Dies
It seems every project I make to post that the products sell out before I post. The problem with Last Chance items I suppose. But if you were lucky enough to get the Celebrations Tags Dies, that is the base of this project. The tag and the hearts are from that Die set. I chose a somewhat rustic look for this set of tags with Real Red, Shaded Spruce and they are paired with the Kraft paper. The tag and the hearts are both from the die set.
Stamps and Punches
To make quite a few of these tags, I wanted fairly quick and simple. So I opted to stamp a lot of the Joy on a strip of Thick Basic White card stock in the Real Red Ink. This simple little word is loved, and is from the Handmade Wishes stamp set. Sadly, another that is sold out. After checking my punches, as they are my Go To for quick, I found there was one that fit perfectly. This sweet little punch is named Best Label Punch. It is from the Annual Catalog and is Not sold out!! At least one!
Finishes
However the gold twine is also sold out. I am so sorry! Things are moving quite quickly now. But the Heart Pearls are also still available! Although any little embellishment would work for a bit of bling on the hearts.
Thank you for visiting in this busy time of year. I hope I have given you some inspiration, even if not with these same products.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! We have created wintry projects to share with you today – snow, sleds and mittens are sure to be found in our lineup. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My Winter card is a young deer enjoying the snow and trees. It is the Best Time of Year! I went back to the Annual Catalog for this project.
Stamps
Today’s card is another one stamp set card. All of the stamped images are from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. And since it is in the Annual Catalog, it is not going away until at least May! I do love this set. There are so many ways to use these trees and different deer. I focused on the special deer with the sweet saying. And the sentiment layer goes along with that one.
The colors used are Soft Suede for the deer. Evening Evergreen was used on the all of the trees. And Pool Party for the snow flakes and at the deer’s feet. The sentiment is stamped also in Evening Evergreen.
Papers
I was searching for a complimentary paper to the scene I was creating when I found not one but two pieces. Actually they are the front and back of the same piece. That is a winner / winner!! Of course the papers had the Soft Suede of the deer, but they also directed me to the Evening Evergreen for the trees. Soft Suede is not one I use very often. However I am really loving how it brings out the pine cones.
Finishes
Between all of the trees and the busy papers the card has a lot going on. I still needed some bling and to settle the scene. So out came the Festive Pearls in the soft green. It seems similar to the light in the pine cone paper as well as matching the Pool Party snow. Those are scattered around the scene. But I also added a darker twine from the Essentials Bakers Twine Combo Pack. Twine works wonderfully with more rustic colors.

I have shared a few cards using the Jingle, Jingle, Jingle stamp set. I think it is such a fun set that you cannot help but Smile over. So I have one more to share with you using that set.
Stamps
As I mentioned this is another of the Jingle cards. They just make me Smile and this one especially. I have created a fairly monotone card here and I am happy with it. The only stamping is the simple Jingle. Although the fun letters are not really simple. However, it is easy to stamp and that counts as simple. The Jingle and the little bell are both stamped with Bermuda Bay Ink. The outline of Jingle is Memento Tuxedo Black Ink so stand out a little.
The bell was to add a bit of humor. After stamping it, I fussy cut it with my handy Paper Snips and then tied a Silver Thread bow to attach it to the sentiment. You may not be able to tell that the thread is looped over the sentiment. I couldn’t have Jingle and not a bell to go along with it.
Background
The background is what determined that this card was going to be monotone. I wanted a lighter greenish tone for the trees. So after embossing the White layer with the Whimsical Woods Embossing Folder, I used Coastal Cabana Ink and Blending Brushes to highlight the raised areas. It took a little bit of blending then looking at it a minute, and then blending some more. But I finally got a result I was happy with. I definitely recommend giving the blending brushes a try. Doing it over an embossed image is a bit more forgiving!
I checked the Last Chance products as I was typing this post. Both the Jingle set and the Embossing folder are both still available for purchase!!

I have another Bath and Body Gift box idea to share with you. This is a nice way to give a gift and show your paper crafting talents. The Handmade Wishes Bundle is perfect for little gifts.
Today’s project was made for the Make My Monday Blog Challenge as part of the Design Team. You can see all of the designer’s projects and join the challenge by clicking on the emblem.
Here are the gifts on the inside. There are several small size candy packages that will fit in this space. The Mini Ghirardelli’s have been hard to find this year.
Stamps
I am sad to say that the fun Handmade Wishes Bundle is gone from the Last Chance List. It was there when I was making this last week. However, there are lots of Christmas sentiments that you probably have that will work just as well. And it does not have to be for Christmas! This is a great year round little gift.
If you do have the Handmade Wishes set, or the punch, I used Thick Basic White card stock and punched the tag. Using the Stampin’ Up! grid paper, I lined it up straight and then stamped the sentiments. They are three different words. But being photopolymer they are so easy to line up and place.
Papers and Ribbon
The card base is Garden Green card stock with the matching striped DSP from Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper. That is the candy cane paper! The box does not need a ribbon for a closure. But I wanted to add more color, plus the addition of the candy cane. I used the Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon. It is wrapped around the box and I tied a simple bow. The candy cane tucks easily behind the ribbon and is fairly secure.
The Box Instructions
You may have already recognized this box as being a Paper Pixie box. And you would be correct! Julie makes such great box projects that I don’t even try to change anything. Here is a link to her post and video. She is the best at giving directions and making it easy! Paper Pixie Essentials Box

The Fitting Florets Suite is 2 stamp sets, Dies, and beautiful DSP that is available until the next Mini Catalog goes Live. At that time the Framed Florets Stamp Bundle will be in the Mini, but the other items will go away. The second stamp set is a wonderful Christmas set titled Framed and Festive. Today’s card is that set paired with the Fitting Florets DSP.
Stamps and Dies
I have to back up to say that this card was part of a Team stamping with my upline Brian King. He is who designed the card and we all made it. This card uses the Framed and Festive stamp set paired with the dies from Framed Florets. I love the sentiments and the mix of fonts in the Framed and Festive set. And as I mentioned at the top of the post, it is only available through January 4th.
As you can see the frame is actually two different pieces. And there are more that layer together as well. This one really helps the sentiment and the white of the paper pop! The sentiment is White heat embossed and then has a few Pearls for a touch of bling.
Papers
This paper is part of the Suite and is also only until January 4th or while supplies last. It is the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. There are some really beautiful papers that are both Christmas, traditional and non traditional, and any time prints. This one is subdued but I love the White and paired with the frame it really works.
The card base is Evening Evergreen which is the dark of the paper. If you look to the right, you can see a different piece of the DSP for the strip on the side. I love that added touch. And there is still plenty of room on the inside that allows you to sign and write a short message to the recipient.
The information on all of these products is in the Supply List at the bottom of the post!

Before I get to today’s project, I have some news to share. Stampin’ Up! is doing a Today Only Free Shipping! With a $75.00 (pre tax) order, Shipping is FREE!! A great way to finish your Wish List.
Stamps
The stamp set I am using today is one of the Last Chance stamp sets. It is the Peace To You set.
The image and the sentiment are both from this stamp set. I love the simplicity and creativity of the image. Stampin’ Up! has the best artists! Both of these stamps were inked with Starry Sky Ink.
Papers
This card began with a Thick Basic White stamp set. I chose that to go with the border around the image. My layers are first the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper in Starry Sky. And the blue layer is the back of of one of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pieces. It is the one with the large fern images. This back side is solid blue with a variegated look.
Extras
I wanted to keep this card fairly clean and have the image be the focal point. But I could not resist adding a large Iridescent Pearl to the center of the star. The second extra is the frame used for the sentiment. I chose the sentiment die from the Holly Berry Dies. It works great to give a little detail to the sentiment piece without having to add another layer. And by stamping the sentiment to the right side, it allowed room to tuck the left side of that piece behind the main image a bit. I wanted this to be a clean and simple card with just a touch of bling from the Glimmer Paper and the Pearl.
