Hey y’all! It’s time for the December Blog Hop, and this month’s theme is Celebration! I’m featuring the Stampin’ Up! Circus Celebration Kit, a spectacular addition to your crafting arsenal. Whether you’re creating for kids or adults, this whimsical kit has everything you need to make cards or scrapbook pages that bring joy and excitement to any celebration.
Stampin’ Up! kits are perfect for new crafters, busy creators, and anyone who loves quick and easy projects. This kit requires no stamping and is beginner-friendly, an ideal introduction to cardmaking with precut pieces and predesigned projects that are adorable. Or, the kit materials can be adapted to create your own designs.
The Circus Celebration Kit includes materials to create eight cards (four each of two designs pictured here) featuring adorable circus animals performing delightful tricks. From playful lions to talented seals, these designs are sure to steal the show. The kit includes step-by-step instructions, precut pieces, printed die cuts, adhesive, and preprinted envelopes. At just $14.00, this kit is an incredible value for eight handmade cards filled with charm and personality.

Don’t wait—the Circus Celebration Kit is available while supplies last. Add it to your cart today and let the crafting fun begin!
Below are my greeting card variations made with the kit supplies, along with a scrapbook page perfect for capturing memories from a fun trip to the circus. I enjoy exploring creative ways to use kit materials to create my own designs that go beyond the original instructions. Experimenting with different arrangements and embellishments lets me personalize each project and make it truly unique. Whether it’s a card or a scrapbook page, these supplies offer so much versatility, and I hope they inspire you to think outside the box and try something new with your own projects!
