I love the colors and design of the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit!  With each of the Card Kits you get enough materials to make 8 cards with lined envelopes.  And when you purchase kit and the Merry Little Christmas stamp together in the bundle you save 15%!  The wood bundle is $19.95 (item 133286) and the clear bundle is $17.95 (item 133287).  And the additional card kits are only $9.95 (item 132158) each!  Everything is precut, all that you need to do is stamp, adhere and fold.  🙂

I put the pack of cards together and I’m giving them as a gift, so I packed mine up in a clear acrylic card box.

I had to add a little variation to mine, but they are really pretty when you assemble them just as the instructions show too!

I colored the sentiment from the Merry Little Christmas stamp set with my Stampin’ Write Markers and I stamped it on the tag (using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with placement).  Then I stamped the little flourish image and the line image in Coastal Cabana ink above and below the sentiment.

Then I adhered the precut striped panel to the card base with SNAIL and I adhered the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I punched out a 3/4″ Circle from the Silver Foil Sheets and a 1/2″ Circle from Coastal Cabana card stock.  I adhered the two circles together, then to the card front with SNAIL.  I adhered the little button from the kit to the circles with a Glue Dot, then tied the bow from the included Baker’s Twine and I rolled up a Glue Dot and adhered it over the button.

I stamped the sentiment from the More Merry Messages stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink and the flourish image in Gumball Green ink on a Whisper White panel and I adhered it inside the card.  I finished up by adhering the precut envelope liners to the envelopes that are included in the kit.  And eight cards were finished up in no time!!
