The carousel does require a 7X7 inch envelope (and if you are attaching the flag pole at the top of your carousel roof/ you may he d uk ho go to a 7X8 inch envelope, depending on your overall project height. The carousel pop up card is the largest die set that Scrspph Tails ever designed and we are holding the price at under $40, to try to make it affordable for everyone since it is such a wonderful Christmas project for you and your friends, family and especially for kids and grandkids. We include three different horses with loads of saddle details and different reigns - so they each look just a little different!

We are happy to present you with the highly anticipated Scrappy Tails Crafts 2026 Christmas collection, which centers around Traditional German (European) Christmas Markets with beautiful, festive and timeless seasonal Holiday and Winter images. The collection is named “German Christmas Markets”. While the collection delivers on old-fashion European Christmas Magic & Charm, there are many sweet and familiar Christmas elements tucked away in this collection (that we all recognize even if we have never been to Germany) to ensure that there is a little bit for everyone in this beautiful new Holiday collection. With my mom being German and my brother and I being 1/2 Germans, (raised in a home with both German and American Christmas traditions), this collection is near and dear to our hearts and we hope you will love these images as much as we do. We invite you to join us and craft with these amazing new products and to get in the Christmas and Holiday spirit as you create your own family greeting cards and memory pages.
