For the final Christmas in July project, I have chosen to create an Art in Bloom holiday card. The Art in Bloom Bundle is in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The Art in Bloom Bundle includes the Art in Bloom Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. Be sure to watch the assembly video below to see how to use Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. While the bundle isn’t a holiday design, by using traditional holiday colors of red & green the Art in Bloom Bundle easily transitions to a holiday card. Additionally, using the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (a returning favorite in the Mini Catalog!) and adding a holiday sentiment completes the card’s theme.

It’s another Christmas in July project! Today’s project features a gift tag using the Tidings & Trimmings Bundle in the Annual Catalog. You’ll notice it’s a large gift tag. This allows you to use the tag on a variety of packages from a small package such as the Ombre Bags to much larger packages. For the tag base, use the Scalloped Contours Dies. This is another of those quick projects. If you’re like me, there’s always some last minute packaging needing tags. So let’s get prepared and make some of these tags to have handy when the need arises. As with my other Christmas in July projects, the materials and assembly video are located below.
Tidings & Trimmings Gift Tag Materials:

Keeping with this week’s gift tag theme for Christmas in July, I am featuring Snowman Gift Tags. A recent purchase of snowman notepads became the inspiration for the snowman gift tags. Since I’ll be “giving a little something” to folks throughout the holiday season, it’s only appropriate to make the presentation special. Right?! Even better, the notepads fit perfectly into the Ombre Gift Bags. And with coordinating snowman gift tags, the “little something” is ready to present later this year. The Snowman Season Stamp Set and the Tailor Made Tags Dies in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog are perfect for making the gift tags. Best of all, the tags are quick and easy to make!

Snowman Season Photopolymer Stamp Set
Tailor Made Tags Dies
Basic White Thick Cardstock (4″ x 2-1/2″ for each tag)
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Stampin’ Blends:

It’s the second week of Christmas in July 2021 and today features Poinsettia Gift Tags. Last holiday season, I saw Poinsettia Gift tags created by other demonstrators and made a mental note to use the set for gift tags in the future. So this year, I am making Poinsettia gift tags for some of my holiday packages. The Poinsettia Dies are perfect for creating the poinsettia embellishment for the tags. The first tag is a poinsettia gift tag design using non-traditional Christmas colors. The 2021-2023 In Colors are some of my favorite colors and so I selected Polished Pink for the poinsettia. It will be perfect to for use this Christmas on one of my granddaughter’s gifts. In addition, I’m sharing another poinsettia gift tag using stamped poinsettia layers which are cut with the coordinating dies. The color scheme is more subtle (crumb cake on very vanilla cardstock).
