The Christmas Companions Kit is one of Stampin’ Up!’s October kit releases, and it’s a lovely choice if you have cat or dog lovers on your Christmas card list. It makes 10 handmade Christmas cards, five each of two designs, with coordinating envelopes. The kit costs NZ$51 and includes everything you need, right down to the adhesive.
Two Christmas card designs with cats and dogs
The cat card has a decorated Christmas tree, a cat popping out of a striped gift box, and a playful “Meowy Christmas” greeting. On the dog card, a little black dog in a red checked jumper has its eye on a Christmas bauble. The red foil accents add a little shine, and the patterned envelopes give each design a matching finish.
What’s inside the Christmas Companions Kit?
The kit comes with 10 printed card bases, 10 coordinating printed envelopes, precut pieces, red foil accents, adhesive, and step-by-step instructions. It also includes the Christmas Companions Photopolymer Stamp Set, a clear stamp block, and a Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Spot. The precut pieces make it easy to sit down and get started, whether you’re making your first handmade cards or fitting in a bit of crafting on a busy afternoon.
One of my favourite things about a kit with stamps is that you can keep using them after you’ve made all the cards. The little bone and mouse tied with bows would be fun to stamp on gift tags for your pets. You could also use the “Deck the howls” greeting for another Christmas card for a dog-loving friend.
