Gift Box
Cupcake Party Fry Boxes – Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Leadership Photo Recap
I thought that I’d share photos of some of the projects that I saw at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference with you today. I saw lots of inspiration and cool ideas! Here are just a few:
Gift Card Envelopes & Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holders – Stampin’ Up!
I’m finally finishing up my holiday gift wrapping and I thought that I’d show you a few gift card holders that I made. I found a couple of fabulous tutorials, one by Kristin Chowanec and one by Cindy Elam, that I followed along with to make these. There are links to their tutorials below. I made a few modifications to the gift card holder made with the Envelope Punch Board (shown on the left in the photo) and I created a quick photo tutorial that you can see by clicking here.
Christmas Crackers and Gift Bags & Two New Stamp Sets From Stampin’ Up!
I’ve been busy wrapping gifts this week and I used a few Stampin’ Up! items for some quick gift wrap. I made Christmas Crackers with the Envelope Punch Board and I put some small items under the tree using some of the Tag a Bag Gift Bags. I created a quick tutorial for the Christmas Crackers and you can see that if you click here.

Simply Sketched Notecard Gift Pack – Stampin’ Up!
I made a little gift pack of 10 note cards using the Simply Sketched stamp set and the Envelope Punch Board from Stampin’ Up! I’ve put together a quick tutorial for creating the gift box and I put it on my Tutorial page. You can go directly to the tutorial by clicking here.
Color Me Christmas Crayon & Note Card Holder – Stampin’ Up!
Sandi MacIver and I both used the Color Me Christmas stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create a project to share with you today. I made a little holder for a small box of crayons and 4 thank you note cards. I thought that these would make great stocking stuffers or little gifts for kids. I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the holder, then I stamped 4 note cards and envelopes and tucked those inside with a pack of crayons so that kids can color and complete their own thank you cards.
Two Very Merry Tags & A New Photopolymer Stamp Set From Stampin’ Up!
Happy Friday!! I created a wine tag and gift box to share with you today using the Very Merry Tags stamp set from Stampin’ Up! The wine tag and box were both quick and simple.
Festive Flurry Gift Bag, Ornament and Card
It’s Friday and Sandi MacIver is back and stamping after her Founder’s Circle Retreat and we’ve both got Christmas/Holiday projects using the Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry stamp set to share with you today. I put together a little gift bag, a 3×3 card and an ornament to share with you today. After you check out my project, be sure to head over to see what Sandi came up with!!
