I’m easing back into paper crafting! And I’m excited to share with you some fun alternate cards that I designed using one of our festive Kits Collection kits: Christmas Everywhere. But first I want to remind you that today is the last day of the Oct 2023 free shipping promotion! Click to shop.
(I can’t believe I forgot to mention this in my Live. 🤦🏼♀️)
…
This Christmas Everywhere kit has supplies for making 9 cards and contains a stamp set. I don’t know about you, but when I make Christmas cards, I don’t just make nine. And for many of us it’s hard to justify purchasing multiple kits to make more cards knowing that we’ll end up getting a stamp set with every kit. So, when it comes to a holiday card kit, I definitely think it’s valuable to have a way to at least double the amount of cards you can create.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how you could expand the Stampin’ Up!® Christmas Everywhere Kit to make MORE than double the amount of holiday cards by just using the kit & some extra cardstock and envelopes. 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.

Measurements …
- Basic White Cardstock
- (18) 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to the short sides in at 4-1/4”
- Card bases
- All cut to 4” x 5-1/4”
- Card layers
- Six of them cut in half to get 12 layers that are 2-1/2” x 3”
- The other six trimmed to get layers that are 4-1/2” x 3” and strips that are ½” x 3”
Here are photos of the finished cards.
Here are the note cards and tags you could make with the extra trees.
My hand is healing well. And I’m taking precautions to cut down on repetitive actions such as typing. In fact I am now using the dictation option within a Word document to create a lot of my blog post text …text that I can just copy and paste. And I’m discovering other ways to balance out using both my left and my right hand when it comes using the computer. Nothing like surgery to make you practice healthier habits.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!
