08.28.2026…..Happy Saturday, my stampin’ friends! I’m so excited to share my August 2026 Artisan Design Team projects, featuring the Merriest Tags Bundle! It is such a fun bundle….and just perfect for so many holiday cards and projects!
For the each of the cards, I stamped the images in Early Espresso ink, and colored them with a variety of Stampin’ Blends Markers. I also used the Country Woods DSP, Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP, Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, and the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder.
We are also having a Merriest Tags Bundle hop over Instagram. Be sure to follow along with all our amazing artisans on today’s hop. There is lots of inspiration in store for you! You won’t want to miss a single project!

For the “Merry” card, I started with Basic White Thick Cardstock, embossed it with the Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a Pool Party Cardstock base. For the next layer, I used the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP, tore off the bottom edge, and added some Country Woods DSP underneath.
I used one of the tag dies (from the Merriest Tags Bundle) to cut out three tags from Basic White Thick Cardstock. I then used a Small Blending Brush to add Coastal Cabana to the center of each tag. In between the tags, I added Linen Thread and Barely Blush 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (cut in half lengthwise).
The images were stamped on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad. To color the images, I used the following Stampin’ Blends Marker Combo Packs: Barely Blush, Soft Sea Foam, Mossy Meadow, and Pool Party. I then cut out all of the images with the coordinating dies.
The sentiments were embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Embossing Powder. I also used a Water Painter, along with Barely Blush ink, to add a quick wash of color over the sentiments. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Sunset Sparkle Sequins.
For this “Holly Jolly” card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, and adhered it to Barely Blush Cardstock base. Next, I embossed a piece Basic White Thick Cardstock and Barely Blush Two-Tone Cardstock with the Swirls of Magic 3D Embossing Folder. I then used one of the tag dies to cut out two tags from the Country Woods DSP, and layered them across the center of the card.
I used another one of the tag dies to cut out a tag from Basic White Thick Cardstock, and used a Small Blending Brush to add color to the center of the tag. I also added Linen Thread and Barely Blush 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (cut in half lengthwise) to the top of the tag.
The images were stamped on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad.

The sentiment was embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Embossing Powder. I also used a Water Painter, along with Barely Blush ink, to add a quick wash of color over the sentiment. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints.
