And with the holidays right around the corner, it’ll be nice to have a head start. I love 3 x 3’s. They can be used as gift tags or as tiny little cards presented in an envelope — your choice!!!

For these 3 x 3’s I used up pieces of Wintergreen DP on my table. The snowflake DP is cut 2 3/4 x 2 3/4. I then adhered a white strip 1 1/4″ high on the bottom, then adhered a 1″ strip of DP on top of the white. These adorable images are stamped on white, colored with an aquapainter and reinkers, punched with the small tag punch and matted using the large tag punch — punching makes this so quick! With a little “be merry” on the bottom, they are done!!! Quick, easy and fun!!! All items used are SU!

  • Stamps: Merry and Bright, Warm Words
  • Paper: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Wintergreen DP
  • Ink: Black Stazon. Reinkers in Soft Sky and Sage Shadow
  • Accessories: Aquapainter, Large and Small Tag Punches
