Joyful Christmas 3D Star Tag



I was inspired to make this Joyful Christmas Star tag with my stamp club, after seeing Barbara Raffman's card,.  I changed up her instructions slightly.  Mostly because I couldn't find my stylus when I was making the sample!  LOL.  Instead of scoring the lines first, I folded the paper along the lines of the star.  I didn't try to fold all the way to the tips.  After folding all the lines, I made sure that the short lines formed valleys and the longer ones formed the mountains.  While it would be helpful to score with heavier card stock, thankfully everything worked out with the Whisper White card stock.  And yes, my stylus re-appeared after finishing this project!  To attach the 3D star to the project, I stacked two Stampin' Dimensionals, attached them to the center back of the folded star and added to the Christmas tag.


The Christmas Star is a single stamp.  I stamped Whisper White card stock with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with silver stampin' emboss powder.  While it's called the Christmas Star, can you see using this 3D star in patriotic themes for banners, tags and other projects?  You can see these ideas and more on my Pinterest board.

This tag was a bonus project for my stamp club.  After making the Festive Flurry Tag Bag, I had leftover Winter Frost paper. I came up with this project to use up the scraps.

Festive Flurry Tag Bag Tutorial



Enjoy making this snowflake bag with Stampin' Up!'s Festive Flurry Ornament Kit and by using this Sharing Creativity tutorial for the tag bag.  You can see how I was inspired to make this Festive Flurry Tag Bag in yesterday's post.  When I designed this project, I wanted to make a bag that only used one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock.  It took me a while to figure it out.  Now that I've figured out the template, you'll be seeing this tag bag again!

This tag bag is really a box with a tag attached to each side after the box is made.


First cut a piece of card stock in half.  You'll have 2 pieces that are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" each. Then cut one of the pieces into two tags that measure 3 1/5 x 5 1/2" each.


Place the half sheet of card stock in Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scored and score at 1/2, 1, 4 1/2 and 5".


Turn the card stock as shown and score at 3 3/4 and 4 3/4. 


Fold along the lines as shown and clip to the second score mark on both sides as shown.


Fold on the second score marks as shown and cut off at the score marks on the other side as shown.  Add Sticky Strip to the small tabs.


Turn the box over and add Sticky Strip as shown.  You are now ready to assemble your box.


I like adhering the two small tabs together first.


Then attach the long tab on each side.  Snip the corners of the remaining two pieces and attach to the box.  Now you are ready to add the Festive Flurry Ornament!

My stamp club enjoyed making this project.  I hope you do too!  I'm looking forward to seeing how you use this tag bag.
