From Idea to Product

Paws & Pines Christmas Gift Tags

Paws & Pines gift tags

There is something magical about Christmas stationery.

One of the first collections I've been working on is called Paws & Pines — a cozy Christmas collection inspired by winter greenery, warm wishes, and beloved cats.

The idea began with simple sketches and a few hours spent exploring layouts in Canva. I wanted something soft and whimsical, using sage greens, cream backgrounds, and botanical illustrations.

Initial Canva design

This week marked another exciting milestone: my first successful Print & Cut test using the Silhouette Cameo Alpha.

First successful cut

Watching the machine find the registration marks and perfectly cut around the design felt a little bit like magic.

I hope Paws & Pines becomes a collection that brings a little warmth, whimsy, and coziness to Christmas.
