Festive Plaid Pop-outs Kit Part 2

Last week I shared my Facebook Live creating the Christmas tree cards and gift tags using the beautiful Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit from Stampin’ Up!

Today I’m back with another set of projects from this kit, and this time we’re playing with the circle designs!

I had so much fun creating the first set that I decided to record another video to show you how I put together the remaining cards and tags. It’s lovely to see how the same kit can give you different looks while keeping everything coordinated.

Creating the Circle Cards and Tags

For this video, I’ve pre-recorded the project so you can craft along with me whenever it suits you.

I’ll take you through creating the circle cards and coordinating tags, using the clever pop-out pieces included in the kit.

Just like the Christmas tree designs, the circle elements make great use of the pieces that pop out of the card fronts. Rather than letting those pieces go to waste, they’re used to decorate the gift tags!

I love a kit that makes the most of every little piece.

Two Videos, Lots of Christmas Projects!

If you missed last week’s video, you can also watch me create the Christmas tree cards and tags here:

Between the two videos, I’ve shared both sets of designs included in the kit. It’s a lovely way to see all the possibilities and get plenty of inspiration for your own Christmas crafting.

The kit makes 10 cards and 10 coordinating tags, with five of each of the two designs. It includes the printed card bases and envelopes, precut pieces, gold foil accents, twine, adhesive and instructions – so there’s very little preparation needed before you start creating.

Getting Ready for Christmas

With Christmas getting closer, it’s a great time to start preparing those handmade cards and gift tags. Having them ready means one less thing to think about when the busy festive season arrives!

The Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit is a wonderful option if you enjoy creating but don’t always have lots of time for cutting, measuring and preparing supplies.

Where to Find the Kit

If you’d like to make these projects yourself, you can find the Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit in my online store.

I hope these two videos have given you some ideas for using this kit. I’d love to know which design is your favourite – the Christmas trees or the circles?

Happy crafting!

It’s time to take a peek at the November Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin’ Up!, and this month we’re getting ready for Christmas with Tags of Joy!

If you love adding a handmade touch to your Christmas gifts, I think you’re going to love this month’s kit. It’s all about creating beautiful gift tags, with some gorgeous gold foil accents to add a little extra sparkle.

And the best part? Everything is designed to make creating easy, so you can enjoy some relaxing crafting time while getting organised for Christmas.

Introducing Tags of Joy

The November Tags of Joy Paper Pumpkin kit is designed to help you create a lovely collection of handmade Christmas gift tags.

Inside your kit you’ll find everything you need to make:

  • 12 gift tags – 4 each of 3 different designs
  • Precut tags and decorative paper pieces
  • Gold foil accents
  • Green twine
  • A Cherry Cobbler Premium Stampin’ Spot

The colour combination is perfect for Christmas, featuring Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Real Red and touches of gold.

I especially love the addition of the gold foil. It adds a beautiful festive touch and makes these tags extra special for decorating your Christmas presents.

More Ways to Enjoy Your Paper Pumpkin Kits!

One of the things I really love about Paper Pumpkin is that the creativity doesn’t have to stop when you’ve completed the projects in the box.

Did you know that Stampin’ Up! also offers refill kits and coordinating add-on products for selected Paper Pumpkin kits?

Refills are a fantastic option if you want to make more of your favourite projects. They generally include the consumable project supplies, such as the tags, paper pieces and embellishments, but don’t include the stamp set or ink spot from the original kit.

There are also special add-on products designed to coordinate with selected Paper Pumpkin kits. These can give you even more creative possibilities and are a wonderful way to extend your projects.

Some add-ons are available only while supplies last, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for them!

Don’t Miss the Subscription Deadline!

If you’d like to receive the November Tags of Joy kit, you need to subscribe by 10 November 2026.

That’s an important date, so don’t leave it until the last minute!

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription, with a different surprise kit arriving each month. It’s a lovely way to make time for creativity, try something new and have a little crafting treat delivered to your door.

Whether you’re new to Paper Pumpkin or already enjoy receiving your monthly kit, I hope you’ll love this festive Tags of Joy collection.

I’m getting into the Christmas crafting spirit with the gorgeous Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit from Stampin’ Up!

This kit is such a clever idea because it gives you everything you need to create both Christmas cards and coordinating gift tags. I love that you can make a lovely collection of handmade Christmas projects without having to spend ages cutting and preparing all the pieces.

For today’s projects, I’m sharing the first set of cards and tags, featuring the adorable Christmas tree designs.

Creating Christmas Tree Cards and Tags

I recently jumped on Facebook Live and had lots of fun putting these projects together. In the video, I take you through creating the Christmas tree cards and their coordinating tags, showing how all the pieces come together.

https://youtu.be/Xiq7wqraXFo

The pop-out design of this kit is particularly clever. The pieces that are removed from the card fronts are used to decorate the tags, while the spaces left behind create a lovely peek-through detail on the cards.

It’s a great way to make the most of all the pieces in the kit!

What’s Included in the Kit?

The Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit includes everything you need to make:

  • 10 Christmas cards – 5 each of 2 designs
  • 10 coordinating gift tags – 5 each of 2 designs

It also includes printed card bases and envelopes, precut decorative pieces, gold foil accents, Secret Sea twine, adhesive and step-by-step instructions.

The traditional Christmas colours of Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, gold, Secret Sea and Very Vanilla work beautifully together.

A Lovely Way to Get Ready for Christmas

I think this kit is perfect if you need to get a head start on your Christmas cards and gift tags. You can sit down, enjoy some creative time and have a collection of coordinated projects ready to use.

And this is only the first lot!

Next Friday I’ll be sharing another video featuring the second set of cards and tags, this time using the circle designs. So make sure you pop back to see what else you can create with this kit.

Gathering Moments Christmas

Posted on by

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?
