Tags are so much fun to make! They’re like little mini cards, smaller and quicker to make…but oh so cute! Today’s tags are created with our beautiful new In Colors and the Flowers for Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. These colors look so nice together!
To create these tags, begin with a 4-1/4″ x 2″ piece of the card stock of your choice. Punch one end with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Cut a 3-1/2″ x 1-3/4″ piece of the Flowers for Every Season paper and adhere it to the tag using Multipurpose Glue.
Using the squared-off side of the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, punch a 1″ x 3-1/4″ piece of coordinating card stock on each end. Adhere to the tag with Multipurpose Glue.
Cut a 3/4″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White card stock. Stamp with the “wildly grateful” sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set. Punch each end of the strip with the more detailed side of the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, and adhere over the card stock label with Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you like, add a little In Color Enamel Dot.
Cut a 4″ piece of In Color Ribbon and run it through the hole at the top of the tag. Tie together in a bow with some Linen Thread.

This particular tag is going to each person who orders my March Quarantine Fun Class to Go! And, each person will also receive a PDF Tutorial with step-by-step instructions to make the tag!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO PREORDER: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2020
I really enjoy making tags, and today I thought I might tell you why. Well, they’re small, even tiny, and just cute! It’s fun to make a pretty little “scene” in a smaller-than-usual space 🙂 And, it takes less time to create a tag than a card.
To create these tags, I used a stitched, scalloped rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (part of the So Sentimental Bundle) for the base of the tag. With the die I cut out a piece of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. This pattern is just pretty and I wanted to use it as the “scene” of the tag. But the paper is a bit lightweight, so I backed it with a piece of Pool Party card stock, cut with the same die. Even though you can’t really see it in these pictures, it makes the tag more sturdy.
A Heart Doily was sponged on the back with Pool Party ink and cut down the center. I put one half of a sponged doily on each tag as a fun background item. I cut some bright purple flowers from other sheets of the designer series paper and adhered them to the tag, over the doily, with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White card stock and cut out with the tiny little label die from the set (so adorable!!). That was also adhered with Dimensionals.
A few sprigs were punched from Purple Posy card stock using the Sprig Punch, and slipped in under the purple flowers (adhere with Multipurpose Glue). Some Glitter Enamel Dots were added in for bling 🙂 I punched a hole in the center top of the rectangle and ran through some gorgeous Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Ribbon, then tied it with some Whisper White Baker’s Twine.
You can pop a tag on anything…tie it on a plant as a hostess gift, slip it in with a cookie or cupcake for a friend, or tie it on a package! So many ways to use a tag!
TODAY – FACEBOOK FRIDAY WITH PEGGY AND ELIE! 4:00 PM PDT – CLICK HERE
Please join me and my little dog Elie this afternoon as we make a card together! We have lots of fun and would love to have you!!
Have you ever thought of making bookmarks as small Christmas gifts? They are fun and easy to make, and work really well to mark pages in catalogs ~ especially Stampin’ Up! catalogs! 🙂 My customers received these little cuties in the mail with their new Mini Catalogs!
I don’t know about you, but I’m always needing a bookmark. I use them in my paper planner, and in various books I’m reading. It’s nice to have one handy. And I’m sure others would like to have a little bookmark handy also!
For these I’ve used the Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper, but you can use any designer series paper you have on hand, holiday themed or not. The sentiment is one I just love from the Cup of Christmas stamp set. Again, use any sentiment you like. These bookmarks can be given as gifts any time of the year!
The bookmarks are so quick to make. Using the Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 2″ x 8″ and score at 4.” Cut a piece of the designer series paper 1-3/4″ x 3-3/4.” Fold the bookmark in half using a Bone Folder and adhere the dsp to the front of the base using multipurpose glue.
Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Lovely Lipstick ink. Cut out with a circle die from the Stitched Shapes dies. Adhere to the front of the bookmark with a Stampin’ Dimensional, and you’re done!
These would be great to give to your book club, your reading friends and family, and to slip into a card or a Christmas stocking!
If you would like a new Stampin’ Up! 2020 Mini Catalog, please email me at peggy@prettypapercards.com.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope these last minute holiday ideas are helpful for you!

We need gift tags!! At this time of year, less than 2 weeks before Christmas, we need gift tags!! Today’s project shows you some gift tags that you can make quickly and use now or later! They are created using the gorgeous Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set!
Here is a video to show you exactly what to do:
The large magnolia stamp can be used in any season for tags or cards, this is the versatility that I love about this set.
I’ve made samples here for you using most of the sentiments in this stamp set and using a variety of colors.
The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch is my go-to for tags. And using Linen Thread for the tie is quick and easy and works for any type of tag. For the holiday tag below I used Real Red Curly Ribbon for a festive look. The sentiment below is from the Tiny Keepsake stamp set.
The thank you tag below is one of my favorites of this group. It has been stamped in our pretty Gorgeous Grape ink and I’ve used Very Vanilla card stock. Luscious, right?
Did you know you can even create cards using tags? Here’s a sample for you. I’ve used Pretty Peacock card stock and ink with Very Vanilla card stock, along with some Scalloped Lace Trim and Noble Peacock Rhinestones!
These are so quick and easy to make! If you don’t have the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, you must get it! It’s a classic!
Facebook Live Friday!
Please join me each Friday for Facebook Live at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time! I’ll have a special project that we will make together! Set your alarm, mark your calendar, because you don’t want to miss it!! We will meet on my Pretty Paper Cards Facebook Page ~ CLICK HERE
The Christmastime is Here Suite is SO versatile! Why? Because you can order any of the products in the suite separately! That means that if you only want the gorgeous Designer Series Paper, order it! But I will tell you that the entire suit is beautiful 🙂
To create today’s tags, start with a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock cut at 4-1/2″ x 2,” and punched at the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. Cut a 3-1/4″ x 2″ piece of the green patterned Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper and adhere to the tag as shown. Cut a piece of Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon 2″ long and adhere with Multipurpose Glue above the designer series paper.
The opposite side of the green designer series paper is clusters of roses. Fussy cut a small rose with leaves attached, set aside. Using the Leaf Punch, punch two clusters of leaves from Soft Sea Foam card stock. Using a bone folder, by hand score down the center of each leaf. Fold each leaf in half lengthwise along the score line. Sponge each leaf with some Golden Glitz Delicata Ink. Punch one cluster of leaves from Gold Foil. Using the Sprig Punch, punch two sprigs from Mossy Meadow card stock. Set aside.
Using the edge die from the Roses Dies, cut an edge piece from Gold Foil. Adhere the gold edge piece on the left side of the tag with Multipurpose Glue as shown. Adhere the leaves with Multipurpose Glue from the bottom up as shown, alternating and layering one on the other. After the glue has dried, adhere the rose using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Add a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots for bling. Thread some Gold Shimmer Ribbon through the hole in the top of the tag, and tie a bow of Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon around the Gold Shimmer Ribbon as shown.
