Stampin' Up Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Kit

Have you seen all the kits Stampin' Up has in the Holiday Mini? Oh my goodness!! I really have fallen in love with a couple. I wanted to share the cutest card kit with you, it's the Merry Little Christmas card kit. And I LOVE how everything is cut for you!! At my own classes I cut all paper, ribbon and its all ready, so this is such a treat!!! This kit has ribbon, buttons and envelope liners all ready to go!!

Today I will be sharing some ideas using the bundle that has the card pieces and the stamp set that coordinates so well. You can purchase separately or together in a bundle and save 15%. Here's that bundle

Merry Little Christmas Clear-Mount Bundle	133287
Price: $17.95
BUNDLE & SAVE! Merry Little Christmas Clear-Mount Stamp Set + Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit = 15% savings for you! Also available in Spanish and French.

The Kit comes with everything you need to make 8 cards. If you wanted to make alot of cards, buy one bundle, then just the card kit and really you could make your Christmas cards reasonable and FAST!

So here is a card on how the kit is intended:

The tag comes pre-cut, the striped paper is pre-cut, the polka-dot envelope liner is also. See the cute button and Bakers twine. So this is an incredible kit, for ANYONE. I had such fun with this!! 

So here was my first variation:

The Red Polka-dot came from the pre-cut envelope liner. I simply cut a little off and guess what, it still looked great in the envelope!! The Snowflake I cut from the Festive Flurry Bundle!

So why stop there, here's another idea:

So stinkin' cute!! Notice I used the other 2 stamps that come in the bundle. I used one along the edge of the tag and the other I stamped some Whisper White and made a background piece!! Also I stamped the sentiment in Gumball Green and popped up the word "little". Pretty cute huh? 

This is my last example, but I really LOVE how it turned out!!!

Can you believe it, all of these cards from the same kit??  On this card  I again made my own"background" paper but just stamping the image on Whisper White, it's so delicate! To keep the flow going, I used that image on the top and bottom of the tag. I then used a red sharpie on my Rhinestones to add some bling. On the Red Polka Dot I simply make it accordion style and trimmed the bottom.  On the Christmas Tree punch I used crystal effects on and it just glistens!! 

If your wondering about the Christmas Tree punch it's not in the catalog, its a carry over item!  Is that cute??

Here's the Christmas Tree punch, it's on sale.. this little punch set is a good staple to have!
