Meet the Merry Manor Kit: A Little House Full of Christmas Cheer!
There’s just something about a little Christmas village that makes the holidays feel extra special. Maybe it’s the twinkling lights, the cozy little houses, or the feeling of nostalgia that comes with creating a miniature Christmas scene.

A Christmas Project Without All the Fuss
One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! kits is that they take away some of the guesswork. The Merry Manor Kit includes everything you need to create one adorable Christmas house, along with step-by-step instructions to guide you through the project. The finished house measures approximately 8" x 9½", making it large enough to be a fun part of your holiday décor without taking over your entire house.

The kit includes beautiful seasonal details such as foil, tissue paper, and gold embellishments, along with the pieces you need to create your Christmas manor. And let's be honest—sometimes we want to craft without having to pull out 47 different supplies!

Perfect for Beginners
If you’re new to paper crafting, kits are a wonderful way to get started. You don't have to wonder which cardstock to buy, which embellishments coordinate, or what supplies you'll need to complete the project. The design is already done for you, and the instructions walk you through the process step by step. That means you can concentrate on the fun part—creating!
The Merry Manor Kit would make a great introduction to crafting for someone who has always wanted to try it but wasn't sure where to begin.

Perfect for Busy Crafters, Too!
Experienced crafters know that sometimes the biggest challenge isn't coming up with an idea—it's finding the time to make it! That's another reason I love the idea of the Merry Manor Kit. When life gets busy, having a project where the design work and planning are already done can be such a treat. You can simply sit down, follow the instructions, and enjoy some creative time. It would also be a fun project for a girls' craft night, a holiday get-together, or an afternoon of crafting with a friend or family member.

And at $20, it’s a relatively inexpensive way to add a little handmade Christmas magic to your home. If the Merry Manor Kit has caught your eye, I'd love to help you get one!

Let's get crafting and make this holiday season a little more creative!

There’s something about beautiful Designer Series Paper that makes creating cards so much easier—and Stampin’ Up!’s Luxe Foliage 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper is definitely one of those papers that does all the work for you!

The Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper features three beautiful leaf and floral designs, each accented with gold foil. The colors are rich and versatile, featuring Secret Sea, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, and Gold.

The combination of the deep blue, beautiful green, warm brown, and gold makes this paper incredibly versatile. You can use it for cards, scrapbook pages, gift packaging, home décor projects, and so much more. And because the gold foil catches the light, you get that extra special touch without having to add a lot of embellishments.

The Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper is the September 2026 Product of the Month, which means you can get it for just $5 with an order of $75 or more after discounts and rewards! That makes this gorgeous specialty paper an especially fun addition to your September order.

There are 12 sheets in the package—4 each of 3 single-sided designs—so you’ll have plenty of beautiful paper to play with.

Just remember that the Product of the Month is available while supplies last and is limited to one per customer, so you won't want to wait too long if this paper is on your wish list!

If you’d like to add the Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer Series Paper to your September order, or if you’d like help choosing coordinating products to go with it, I’d be happy to help!
Happy Stamping!

At my class on Friday we used the Begonia Bell stamp set to make the first card. The flowers were stamped in Bubble Bath and Strawberry Slush inks. Today I decided to use the same layout and try some other ink combinations. I love the results! ❤️
