Sometimes the sweetest Christmas decorations are the ones you make yourself, and the Merry Manor Kit (168677) from Stampin’ Up! is just the ticket! This charming little house, complete with festive trees and nostalgic details, looks like something straight out of a Christmas storybook.

It’s just perfect nestled on a mantel surrounded by greenery and twinkling lights, or as the centerpiece of a holiday dining table. And knowing you made it yourself makes it even more special!

A collection of festive craft materials including red house-shaped gift boxes, holiday-themed stickers, and decorative elements like wreaths and Christmas trees, arranged neatly on a light background.

The Merry Manor Kit includes everything you need to create an adorable Christmas house, except a hot glue gun. From the garland-trimmed windows to the charming little trees and gold accents, it’s full of delightful details.

The kit comes with step-by-step instructions, but there’s also room to add your own creative touches. A little faux snow, extra greenery, or twinkling lights could make your Merry Manor uniquely yours!

Finished Size: 8″ x 9½”
Makes: One festive Christmas house

Wouldn’t this make a wonderful family activity as Christmas approaches? Gather everyone around the table, turn on some Christmas music, and enjoy a little creative time together. The kids can help with the decorating while the grown-ups handle the hot glue gun. Who knows? It might just become a new family Christmas tradition!

A Closer Look at My Merry Manor

I followed the included instructions to assemble my Merry Manor, and I think it turned out absolutely darling! There was no need to change a thing—the sweet little details give this project plenty of Christmas charm just as it was designed.
