There’s something magical about sitting down with a cup of something warm, a messy craft table, and a handful of Christmas supplies. Today I’m sharing a little trio of festive tags I created using a mix of Distress products and one of my favorite holiday bundles from Simon Says Stamp.

I wanted these tags to feel nostalgic,like the kind you’d find tucked inside an old box of decorations in the attic,weathered edges, soft colors, and just the right amount of grunge.

🎄 Tag 1: “In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman”

This little snowman completely stole my heart! I built the background with layers of Distress Ink and Distress Spritz, letting the colors mingle into that soft wintery pink. A few splatters of gold add shimmer without overpowering the stamped image. I die-cut the snowman, added a stitched border, and gave everything a slightly distressed edge for that vintage charm I love.

🎅 Tag 2: “Naughty or Nice”

Of course, no Christmas tag set is complete without jolly ol’ Santa. For this tag, I combined stamped collage layers with earthy greens and browns to get that woodland Christmas vibe. Santa pops beautifully against the background, thanks to the die-cut outline and the contrast of the softer tones behind him. The “naughty or nice” label adds a playful touch!

🎄 Tag 3: Christmas Tree Magic

This tag might be the most nostalgic of the trio. The background uses colder tones icy blues and faint greys to create a frosty backdrop for the hand-colored Christmas tree. A whisper of stenciling and subtle Distress Spritz texture gives the whole tag a snowy atmosphere. I finished it with a dark thread topper to contrast the cool palette.
