I have a passion for challenging myself to multiply the projects one can get from one of our Stampin’ Up! crafting kits. I’ve done this with the Paper Pumpkin kits often. (In fact, tune in this Friday so you can see how I quadruple the cards in the October 2022 Ho Ho Ho kit.) But Stampin’ Up! also has another line of kits…the Kits Collection. And I had a bunch of fun with one of the newest in this line: the Christmas Gifting Kit.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to take the supplies in this kit, add a bit of cardstock and twine, and double the 9 tags to create 18 cards with pockets. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
