Welcome to week 28 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Mint Macaron, a light green from the subtles family.
Although I start making my Christmas cards in July, I always have a last minute panic this time of the year. Have I made enough? Will I get them posted in time? Why do I always feel so disorganised this time of the year!!!
Luckily, card kits are fantastic when you need cards made quickly and Stampin’ Up!’s Love Santa Tag Kit can be used to make either tags or cards. Here’s what the tags look like when made up as per the instructions.
And here’s my version of the tags, using the large Memories & More card bases to turn the tags into cards.
Here’s what’s included in the kit.
To turn these tags into cards I used Mint Macaron and Real Red cardstock, Mint Macaron and Real Red ink pads, as well as the two Wintry embossing folders.
After turning each of the tags into cards I decided to have a play with the stamp set included in the kit – it is so cute!
It was super quick and easy to create a very tropical looking christmas card, perfect for a down-under Christmas!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

We’ll be back to showcase next Wednesday. In the meantime, wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx
I love your cards, Catherine. I really must consider buying a kit next year and doing what you have done. Such a great idea! And I love the stamped card, it does indeed have a very aussie look to it.
Who would have thought that Mint Macaron was not a colour in this kit – it looks amazing with these tags made into cards. I adore your handstamped card using the stamps from the kit, with the ‘christmas’ stamped randomly and the ‘Merry’ popped up, I just love it.
Happiest of birthdays to you, my friend xx
LOL, I can’t believe that I have yet to crack open this kit! Your cards are all fabulous, and Mint Macaron slides effortlessly into the colour combo. Your stamped card is equally as fabulous!
Happiest of days to you on your birthday!
Great use of Mint Macaron and Real Red dry embossed mats using the Wintry 3D folders. Love your last card and how you have stamped background including the mini ‘Christmas’ greeting. Hope you have a marvellous birthday!
I agree, Mint Macaron is a great complement to the colours in the kit, Cathy. Beautiful job showing off this gorgeous green. All of the details you’ve included in your creation are lovely, as always. The card you created with the stamp set is delightful.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you are being suitably spoilt tonight. xx
