Festive Plaid Pop-outs Kit Part 2

Posted on November 6, 2026 by sharon

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!

Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit

Posted on October 30, 2026 by sharon

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.

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.

Blog Hop #11

Posted on October 14, 2019 by sharon

Welcome to our October Blog Hop. You may have just come from Amanda’s blog or starting here. Either way it is good to have you join our blog hop. You can continue to hop along with us by clicking on the Next Blog or Previous Blog. Or if you get lost you can click on any of the links below to get back to hopping.

This month we were challenged with card layout. I chose to use the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. A gorgeous suite of products that include stamps, dies, 6×6 papers, adhesive image sheets, stars & tinsel.

I used the stamps & the designer series paper stack for this project. I also used the Mossy Meadow linen thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack which I feel just goes beautifully with rest of the card.

I love the gold foil on the red mistletoe background paper and then on the flip side are the trees. I loved this combination together as they are very traditional Christmas colours. I like the simplicity of the card with just the tree and then with the candy canes as the decorations on the tree. I felt that the tree was still a little naked so I used the other tree image as the branches stamped off. I just kept stamping till it filled in the spaces of the tree.

I added the Mossy Meadow linen thread to break up the sentiment and the tree, Then I added a christmas present on the scallop circle in real red so it is quite a subtle tone on tone image.

I made another card but rotated the design on the next card as I cut the patterned paper incorrectly but it enabled me to create another card. I used the scallop circle with the image in real red ink.

Christmas Cards for Customers

Posted on November 21, 2018 by sharon

Every year I get requests to make Christmas cards for customers to send out to their clients. I had a request from one customer for 150 cards. I decided to go with this design. I chose the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper pack again and could get lots of cards out of the paper pack.

The stamp set I used is the Illuminated Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalogue in real red ink. I used the stamparatus to line up both of the stamps used. I complimented the dsp with a strip of card stock. I layered the oval onto a scallop oval.

My customer is very happy with the design and as there were a few patterns in each pack of dsp I could use various designs.

Again this is another fairly simple christmas card that could easily be duplicated.
