SIMPLE YET STYLISH

Make a 9cm x 10.5cm white blank. Run red striped paper along the bottom. Add a tree topper on the right with 3D foam pads, then glue a sentiment tag underneath the tree on the left. Fix a red bow to the tree using a 3D foam pad, then embellish the card with gold gel pen dots.

FOLIAGE LAYERS

Create a white 10cm x 14cm blank, then layer light green card on top. Use 3D foam pads to fix a sentiment tag to the left-hand side of the card, then secure foliage and flower die-cuts all around, adding some with 3D foam pads and others with glue. Finish with gold gel pen dots.

HANGING BAUBLES

Mount red snowflake paper onto a white 10.5cm x 15cm blank. Take several star and heart bauble toppers, then fix them to the card so they appear to be hanging from the top edge at different heights. Adhere two bows using 3D foam pads.

EMBROIDERY HOOP

1 Loop green baker’s twine through the top of a small embroidery hoop and tie into a bow. Stamp the robin onto white card in brown ink and again onto red card in black ink. Trim the red breast of the robin and layer onto the brown robin. Repeat so you have five robins in total.

2 Arrange several flower and foliage toppers onto the hoop, adding some underneath and others on top. Slot the robins in amongst the leaves and flowers, adhering some with 3D foam pads.

SLEIGH GIFT TAG

Take a white 6.5cm x 10.5cm blank, trim the front down into a wave and set aside the cut-off section. Add red striped paper to the inside of the card. Attach a sleigh topper to the front using 3D foam pads. Flip and fix the white wavy cut-off section along the bottom of the tag with 3D foam pads. Punch a hole in the side and thread green baker’s twine through.

STOCKING GIFT TAG

Matt green card onto a 7cm x 11.5cm white blank. Fix a stocking topper towards the top using 3D foam pads and add a sentiment topper above. Punch a hole in the top-right corner and thread green baker’s twine through.

STAMPED BIRD BACKGROUND

Create a white 11.5cm x 14cm blank. Stamp multiple robins in different coloured inks onto white card and trim. Adhere the robins onto an 11cm x 13.5cm panel of green card using 3D foam pads. Cut off any excess around the edges. Adhere the panel to the blank and complete with a sentiment topper.
