‘Tis the Season for Tag Buffet

Today I’m sharing a sweet-and-simple card with fun sentiment, Christmas stocking and a mix of beautiful, non-traditional colors for the Holiday. My 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ card will fit in a standard envelope (with a little bit of room on either side). While the post office charges more for a square envelope, they don’t charge more for a square card that’s tucked in a rectangular envelopes. Oh, joy! Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Tag Buffet. The stocking and sentiment on my card are from the Tag Buffet stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s August – December 2020 Mini Catalog. While the stamp set coordinates with a project kit in the catalog , it’s sold separately and can be used to create projects other than the tag kit. The best idea, though, is to pick up both so you can complete the tag kit and then make a bunch of other things with the stamps. Look at you – being so productive! ♥ Here’s a look at the fun sentiments and images in the Tag Buffet stamp set:Here’s a look at the components in the Tag Buffet Project Kit, which makes 30 festive tags:And here’s a look at the samples featured in the catalog that are created with this stamp set and Project Kit.
• Layer Measurements. As I mentioned above, this 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ card can fit in a standard envelope for standard mailing prices. Yay! Since it’s a simple, layered card that can be replicated with your own stamps and papers, I thought I share with you the measurements I used to build it. Here are the measurements of the layers, starting at the base of the card and working my way to the top:
  • Thick Whisper White – 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ (scored at 4-1/4″)
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Real Red – 3-3-4″ x 3-3/4″
  • Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (Coastal Cabana) – 3-5/8″ x 3-5/8″
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Real Red – 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
  • Whisper White – 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″
• Trio of Christmas Colors. As I mentioned above, the layers on my card are simple and fun. The stocking was stamped on the Whisper White panel and again on Real Red and Coastal Cabana and Thick Whisper White. I snipped the pieces with my paper snips and layered them on my Real Red stocking. With a little planning, I also made sure the sentiment rolled right over to the Real Red stocking. Here’s a closer look: If you love this mix of Whisper White, Coastal Cabana and Real Red as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:
